The Israeli military recently declared the shooting of Tristan Anderson, a nonviolent, un-armed American protester, an “act of war.” This ruling absolves the soldier or soldiers responsible of all liability under Israeli law. Anderson was shot in the forehead by a high-velocity tear gas canister on March 13, 2009 in the village of Nil’in following a non-violent demonstration. Tristan’s parents held this press conference on March 23, 2009.

The Israeli High Court on Tuesday ruled that the path of the Apartheid Wall on lands belonging to the West Bank village of Bilin must be changed. In a unanimous decision, the justices ruled that the route of the Wall through Bilin’s lands had been planned based on the needs of the illegal Israeli settlement Matityahu East and had no security rationale. This ruling comes after nearly three years of weekly nonviolent demonstrations. The International Solidarity Movement, which has been involved in supporting Bilin’s resistance for the past three years, issued this statement.
