>In this moment, friday afternoon {seventh candle of hanuka} dozens of
>activists are tearing apart and breaking down the gate of the apartheid wall
>which is also known as the "separation fence", to enable a free passage
>for the people of mas'ha to their lanDs.
>The activists, equiped with tools, are breaking the gate that has remained
>closed since the wall was built two monthes ago.
>The farmers, whose land is on the other side of the fence were told that
>they would be able to cross through the gate to work their lands.
>That promise turned out to be a methodical, crude and cruel lie.
>All throughout the suffocating wall the gates are remaining blocked and
>the Palestinian residents  remain with no access to their only source of
>income.
>
>The army is present - at the Mas'ha village gates which are located next to
>Elkana settlement - and yet, its not clear how will the confrontation
>between the army and the activists will end.
>The activists are calling for a joined active resistance of Israelis and
>Palestinians toward the ghettoizing policy that the Israeli government is
>issuing.
>The action is being held as a part of The Alternative Protest Camp Against
>The Apartheid Wall that started a week ago in  Deir Balut.
>The camp is hosting Israelis and Palestinians, and located on the path of
>the Apartheid Wall, on the land of the village's elementary school.
>(The building of the school was stopped due to the land being confiscated
>for the building of the wall.)

>We invite the media that follows Ariel Sharon's promises, for the so called
>evacuation of he settlements, to come and see for them selfs the land
>confiscating and settlement expansion operation that is operating this
>days.
>Deir Balut protest camp and other protest actions that take place and that
>will take place in the future will set a live and kicking alternative to the
>occupying, stealing and confiscating actions that the Sharon government
>and the Israeli army are responsible for.

>A few days later, the fighters of the elite commando unit, Sayeret Matkal,

>Conscientious refusal is not any more a marginal occurrence. It has
