<p>Last Friday, Palestinian peace activists created the village of Bab al-Karama on the lands of Beit Iksa village to prevent their confiscation by the Netanyahu government.<br>
<br>
The previous Friday, Palestinian peace activists created the village of Bab al-Shams near the village of Al Zaim to block the confiscation of Palestinian land by the Netanyahu government. <br>
<br>
What do you think is going to happen in Palestine this Friday? <br>
<br>
<b>Sign our pledge to support Palestinian nonviolent resistance to land confiscation by the Netanyahu government by spreading the news on the next protest village as soon as it breaks.</b> If you sign, we will send you news and resources Friday morning.<br>

<br>
If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?<br>
<br>
To be effective, a strategy of nonviolent resistance to injustice requires an audience.<br>
<br>
Sometimes Western pundits have asked: where are the Palestinian Gandhis? But when Palestinians have used nonviolent resistance strategies and have been suppressed by Israeli occupation forces, Western pundits have been largely silent. The pundits' words communicate one thing; the selective focus of Western media - if it bleeds, it leads - communicates the opposite.<br>
<br>
Now we have a historic opportunity to turn this around. By sharing the news on Palestinian nonviolent resistance through Twitter and Facebook, we can force the news onto the radar of mainstream media. Mainstream media ignored Occupy Wall Street at first. When it became prominent on social media, mainstream media had to take notice. <br>
