Video Reports of the Hebron, Sheikh Jarrah, Beit Jala and Al-Walaja Protests in the West Bank![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sliced and diced with Israeli "settler" only roads and no-go zones and infested with violent, extreme right wing colonists Beit Jala : One of the fronts of the popular struggle in the West Bank is now Beit Jala, Bethlehem district. The whole of the Bethlehem district has been surrounded by the Apartheid-Annexation Wall and ever-expanding settlements for years. Now, Beit Jala is being hit even harder by the apartheid policies of the Israeli army and government via the new path of the Apartheid Wall in the area. On the morning of Tuesday, April 22nd 2010, Israeli bulldozers reached the home of Beit Jala resident Mitri Ghneim and started to level and damage the garden of his house. This event was just the most recent attack by Israeli soldiers. The initial episode in this area dates back to the beginning of March when 300 dunums of land were confiscated. The construction of the Apartheid Wall in the Beit Jala area resumed again after the Israeli Supreme Court's refusal to uphold an injunction concerning the area. According to local sources, at least 30 houses are currently under threat demolition. In addition, 700 dunums are at serious risk of confiscation. Most of this land is planted with olive trees, which are one of the most important sources of income for the local population.
