While the first village to resist the wall was Jayous, as early as September 2002, it was the struggle of the village of Budrus that was the spark that set the fire.
Late in November 2003 the people of Budrus rose up and stood together to block the bulldozers, soon after Israeli and international activists joined them.
Through its persistence in community mobilization, struggle and popular resistance, the village of Budrus was able to achieve significant victories.
Without appealing to the Israeli courts, utilizing only popular resistance, the village succeeded to push the path of wall almost completely off its land.
Budrus' success inspired many other villages to build a popular resistance, which is perhaps an even greater success. For a good part of the year, almost every village to which the construction of the wall reached rose up against it.
+~SLAUGHTERING PALESTINIANS AT A RATIO OF 8 vs 1` AND THEN CLAIMING YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF TERROR_ISM AND ANTI+SEMITISM IS SIMPLY LAUGHABLE BY ANY RATIONAL, LOGIC, RELIGION OR CREED. NO EXCUSES ARE CREDIBLE` FOR THESE LEVELS OF TERRORISM. NOT EVEN THE JEWISH HOLY TORAH ^ALLOWS KILLING BEYOND AN EYE FOR AN EYE!
END APARTIED!!!
