Published on 2006-05-22, by anonymous, ©A-infos.

The theme of today’s demo was Palestinian villages today and the Nakba of 1948.

Bil’iners and members of the Anarchists Against the Wall, as well as ISM and international activists, carried signs with the names of villages affected, cut off, or encapsulated by the occupation. Notably we carried a banner showing Dir Yassin in 1948 and Bil’in in 2006 with the title disaster in Arabic, English and Hebrew.

The army and police were already waiting for us as usual. Today (like the last 3 weeks) they were waiting in armoured vehicles, well secure behind the barbed wire barricade they set up since the protesters destroyed the yellow checkpoint gate at the fence route.

Today, people from the Students' Initiative held protests around Poland against the new Minister of Education, Roman Giertych. Giertych is the extreme-right leader of the League of Polish families, and the youth organization he reactivated (which had a history before the communist days of conducting progroms) is best known for attacking gay parades and the like. In Warsaw there was a very lively demo with many slogans against religion in schools, for libertarian education and against the government. The demonstration was joined by some people and many people sitting in cafes along the route were applauding. About 1000 people took part. Other demos were held in Szczecin, Krakow, Katowice, Czestochowa, Wroclaw and Rzesów. We are just getting in reports but we are told they went without incident, gathered a couple of hundred people each and had wide public support from pedestrians and others on the street.
