Boycott Israel, the State of Occupation
I telephoned Ali in Fasayil and Abu Sacca in Hadidya on Monday.
I think we should try to do this every one or two weeks
Ali Jahalin (the head of the village committee in Fasayil) said that the army had not returned to Fasayil since our visit but the demolition orders remained on the 5 hoses. That they had used the money we donated to clear the land for the new tent school and that they were now only waiting for the tents as they were confident they would be allocated teachers by the education ministry.
Abu Sacca (whose house has a military demolition order in Hadidya) said that the army had been to the village twice since we left but everything was quiet at the moment. He said that Spanish ISM volunteers were currently staying with Abu Arrif (where I stayed). He expressed thanks for the internationals being there. He said that there was nowhere for him to go and that he would not move.

Nearby sits an Israeli intelligence officer behind a table in the middle of a yard surrounded by narrow cells facing a shaking Palestinian youth. On the rooftops of the nearby rooms, there stand soldiers pointing their arms towards a crowd of Palestinians watching this scene in great astonishment for its deep eloquence and expressive theme.

One of our contacts in Tubas told me yesterday that a flying checkpoint had been set up preventing students from coming back to Tubas from the American University. Two Tubas residents were arrested at the checkpoint. Their families currently do not know where they are. Both of them are ex-prisoners

*30 March 2007*
Al-Haq takes the occasion of Land Day to highlight the intrinsic link between land and the exercise of the right to self-determination. Over nearly 40 years of occupation, Israel’s pervasive policies of land expropriation and confiscation, settlement construction and movement restrictions have severely damaged the access of the Palestinian people to their land in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), thereby rendering the meaningful exercise of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination all but impossible.
