Break the siege of Nilin

I received an invitation to join those who will tomorrow (9th July) courageously face heavily armed occupying forces who have shown no mercy in the neighbouring village of Bil’in. In addition to tear gas, rubber-coated steel bullets, and sound bombs have used live ammunition. A few weeks ago they gravely wounded someone protesting about the loss of their land, their jobs, their rights. The action of the occupying was judged illegal even by an Israeli court, but that too was ignored. And the rest of the world remains silent..
Dear Friends, I regret I shan’t be with you tomorrow but wish you every success in achieving your goal in the struggle over brutal oppressors. I am ashamed that our western governments are not only silent but complicit with the powerful forces sustaining the oppression. How else could they have built this barbarous symbol of inhumanity stealing land and throwing your livelihood away?
Fraternally
John Tyrrell
