Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
A decade of
anti-wall struggle
Bilin is located about
four kilometers east of the Green Line, an artificial line between Israel’s
forces and the neighbors after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. There is a wall
constructed by Israel that split the village in two. The International Court of
Justice issued an advisory opinion stating, "the wall is contrary to
international law" in 2004. Also, weekly protests against the wall have been
organized and conducted by the villagers, international and even Israeli
activists for over a decade. However, the wall still stands there.
Enjoy reading and
learning what has been going on in a tiny village in Palestine.
