[JAYOUS, QALQILIA] Palestinian villagers and international activists will form a human chain to block the destruction of their land, which is currently being bulldozed to make way for the giant barrier that Israel is building to separate and isolate Palestinian areas from Israel and from each other. The Israeli Wall of Apartheid will isolate 8,612 dunums of farmland
belonging to the village of Jayyous. This land contains 7! agricultural
wells, fruit trees, 250 greenhouses, and over 20,000 olive trees.
Already in this area approximately 70 dunams of land has been destroyed,
1000 olive trees uprooted, another 500 olive trees chain-sawed, and the
bulldozers continue to work. In this area, the barrier will include a
trench and an electrically fortified fence. (For more information about
the details of the separation barrier, see Tomorrow, people will gather on the land by 8am.
