20 years to the fall of the Berlin wall - Demonstrators toppled 8 meters tall concrete wall in Ni'ilin The protest in Nilin was held today to mark the 20th anniversary to the fall of the Berlin wall, which has been declared an international day of action against Israel's barrier. The 300 demonstrators managed to topple a part of the eight meters tall concrete wall that cuts through the village's land. The concrete wall in Ni'ilin - five to eight meters (15 to 25 feet) in hight has only recently been laid on the path of the wall cutting through Ni'ilin's lands, in addition to the already existing electronic barrier and razor-wire.
Since the Wall was built to allow more land to annexed to the nearby settlements rather than in a militarily strategic manner, demonstrators have been able to repeatedly dismantle parts of the electronic fence and razor-wire surrounding it. The section of the Wall in Nilin is the only place along the route of the barrier where a concrete wall has been erected in an attempt to deal with the civic, unarmed campaign waged by the village in protest of the massive land theft that will enable the expansion of the illegal settlements of Modi'in Il'it and Hasmonaim.
Since Israel began its construction in the year 2002, This is the first time demonstrators succeed in toppling a part of Israel's barrier which is a concrete wall. One of the demonstrators, Moheeb Khawaja, said during the protest: "Twenty years ago no one had thought the monster that divided Berlin into two could be brought down, but in only two days in November, it did. Today we have proven that this can also be done here and now. It is our land beyond this wall, and we will not give up on it. We will win for a simple reason - justice is on our side."

"The Jewish state was built on the ruins of the indigenous people of Palestine, whose livelihood, houses, culture and land had been systematically destroyed."
"If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison for the land, or find a benefactor who will maintain the garrison on your behalf. ... Zionism is a colonizing adventure and, therefore, it stands or falls on the question of armed forces."

According to a census of Palestine conducted by the British in 1931 the population stood at 1.03 million, 16.9% being Jewish. This was after a massive influx of mainly Eastern European Jewish immigrants between 1924-28.
A 1922 British census of Palestine shows: 78% Muslim, 11% Jewish, 9.6% Christian.
1904-1914 show the Jewish population at just 6%. (after an influx of 40,000 Jewish immigrants).
Will you stop swearing like a stable boy? I am not in university (though) I realise that my direction is academic. I don't have a rabbi, although I rang the office of the Chief Rabbi of Ireland to make sure that never did the Jews called God "Allah". 100,000 Arabs came into the territory and are not the "Owners" of the land. God gave the land to the Israelites and if you ever opened a Bible you would know that.
irish, i don't want to fight more... really, i think u will never change ur mind.... but i willl send u a documentary, in wich israelies and americans participate. please watch it complete... it shows every single part of the conflict since the beggining. in the beggining it might be a ltle bored, but then it is veeeeeeery good!!! i'll send it now, and then we can discuse, bye!!
Sorry ask any Hewbrew scholar and he/ she will tell you that Hebrew spoken today is the same as written in Hewbrew manuscripts and books. How else could they get Hebrew. They have invented words for modern times using other Hebrew words. Well Israel is the only country where a Jew can practise his religion without fear of persecution.
If you were really a Christian then you would condemn the behaviour of people who swear the destruction of Israel , followed by the destruction of the west. I do have an idea of how the Palestinians live. It is all over the net!
