AATW North American Speaking-Tour

Anarchists Against the Wall is a direct action group that fights
against Israeli apartheid and oppression in all its forms, most
recently also the atrocities in Gaza. For five years the group has
waged a constant struggle against Israel's Wall. The work on the
ground in the West Bank, alongside the Palestinian popular movement
is breaking new ground in the joint struggle for Palestinian
liberation. In December 2008, Anarchists Against the Wall and the
Bil'in Village Committee were jointly awarded the prestigious Carl
von Ossietzky Medal---an award given annually by the Berlin-based
International League of Human Rights, named after German Nobel Peace
Prize winner Carl von Ossietzky who died in a Nazi concentration
camp.

Now more than ever, it is critical to support the Israeli resistance
movement against the state's attempted repression of our work.
Members of Anarchists Against the Wall continually pay the price for
our activism, including being shot, beaten, arrested and indicted. We
desperately need funding for legal support for both Palestinian and
Israeli activists who are arrested and charged in the course of the
struggle.

Schachaf Polakow, a member of Anarchists Against the Wall, will be
touring the U.S. and Canada from February 1st to March 9th. His
presentation will include film and photos, and will focus both on
AATW's recent work in solidarity with Gaza and our ongoing work in
the West Bank. Please see the tour schedule below, and help us get
the word out. A highlight of the tour is bound to be a special
evening with Noam Chomsky at Harvard Square, February 17th.

------------- off ------------------

   When I attended an event with one of them here in Frankfurt, I
wanted to ask, if they think it indispensable that there is a state
with a government not of the people, by the people and for the
people, but with a government of Jews, by Jews and for Jews.
Unfortunately the idea for that question came too late. Maybe some of
the list participants in North America can do it for me...
