就在上個月18日，以色列軍隊及邊界警察為了阻止一場和平示威遊行而大行暴力。當日由巴勒斯坦、以色列及來自世界各地的活動者為了抗議政府非法以隔離牆（Apartheid Wall）及佔領地充公農田，由Bil'in村出發，試圖遊行至隔離牆；雖然以色列軍政府先前已同意他們有「合法抗爭」的自由，18日一早Bil'in民眾委員會（Popular Committee of Bil'in﹚成員卻接到官方威脅，表示將以暴力阻止示威活動。 早在示威活動前以色列已在當地部署軍方與警力，並排出裝甲吉普車及水箭筒（water canon）陣仗。進入攻擊範圍內的示威者都無故遭軍方以水箭筒噴射水藍色液體，被染成一身藍，衣服頭髮和皮膚都濕透，另外並有活動者向媒體表示事後感到灼傷及不適；由於催淚瓦斯也是當天用以驅逐遊行者的武器，目前還無法得知燒燙傷是由淋溼的皮膚吸收瓦斯、抑或謎樣的水藍化學液體引起。無論如何，以色列軍方都傳達出強烈明白的信息──決不允許任何和平示威活動，否則將以暴力處置。 正如往常一樣，以色列對於驅除異議份子從不手軟，就在抗議者與記者已打算撤退時，軍隊仍以手榴彈、橡皮子彈及水箭筒等追擊。目前已知共有7人因橡皮子彈及催淚瓦斯受傷，其中包括一名美聯社攝影記者，並有多人皮膚不適或因瓦斯而呼吸困難。 Bil'in反隔離牆及佔領地民眾委員會（Bil'in Popular Commit-tee Against the Wall and Settle-ments）自去年1月開始持續的非暴力抗爭示威，他們每星期集結舉辦活動，抗議政府非法沒收60％農地，並直到現在仍打著「你們無法打擊我們決心」的標語，抱持無限信心。雖然18日受到軍政府明顯的強力鎮壓恫赫，他們表示活動會繼續進行下去。 其實以色列軍政府早在11日的示威活動時已大動干戈，當週的暴力攻擊並讓萊莫爾（Lymor Gold-stein）及雷娜（Rina Klauman）兩名活動者傷重住院，以色列籍律師萊莫爾在活動中遭橡皮包覆的金屬子彈射中頭頸，當時馬上被送往醫院行緊急手術取出子彈及碎片，並在加護病房療養，卻在18日組織準備出師遊行同天腦感染，又送進手術病房；來自丹麥的雷娜可就幸運多了，11日她被士兵以槍柄擊倒，目前住院等待核磁共振檢查出爐，18日時已可下床走動。而為了替示威者打氣，18日當天活動開始以色列代表特地發表演說，鼓勵他們別順了軍方的意讓好不容易集結起來的力量被瓦解，組織成員並表示希望負傷同袍能早日歸隊。 （資料來源／http://www.palsolidarity.org/main/2006/08/18/bluewater/） Bil'in Demonstration Against the Wall Turns Blue Today, August 18, the Israeli army and Border Police tried to prevent the weekly non-violent demonstration of Palestinians, Israelis and internationals in Bil'in against the illegal confiscation of their farmland by the Apartheid Wall and settlements. They used brute force to prevent the demonstration from reaching the site of the wall, despite an Israeli military court decision that people in Bil'in have the right of freedom of speech through "legitimate resistance". In the morning of the demonstration a member of the Popular Committee of Bil'in received a call from the mili-tary threatening to use force to prevent the demonsratators from reaching the intended goal of the Wall. Before the demonstration even began, the army and Border Police were already positioned within the village with armored Jeeps and a water canon. Bright blue water was fired from the canon at the demonstrators, totally un-provoked, as soon as they were within range of the massive white tank. Many demonstrators were soaked by the blue liquid, dying their hair, clothes and skin, and most of them reported subsequent burning and irritation of the skin that lasted into the night. Tear gas was also used against the demonstrators as soon as the water canon was engaged, so it is unclear whether the burning was from gas being absorbed into the wet skin and clothing, or whether the water itself contained a chemical. Regardless, the message from the Israeli army was clear: non-violent protest will not be tolerated and will be met by increasing displays of force. As usual, the soldiers continued to use sound grenades, rubber bullets, and also the water canon as the protestors and journalists were retreating. There were seven people injured by rubber bullets and gas, including one photogra-pher with Associated Press and several people had skin ir-ritation and a hard time breathing from the tear gas. The theme of this week's demonstration was the conti-nuity of the resistance in Bil'in, and the villagers and ac-tivists carried the message "You Cannot Break Our Spirit." The Bil'in Popular Committee Against the Wall and Set-tlements has organized weekly demonstrations since Jan-uary 2005 against the wall and against the illegal confisca-tion of 60% of their farmland, and will steadfastly continue with their weekly demonstrations despite the army's ap-parent intent to brutally repress them. The army's be-haviour at last week's and this week's demonstrations clearly show that they are trying to terrorize the villagers, internationals, and Israelis into not holding this demon-stration anymore. A representative of the national Islamic forces gave a speech at the beginning of the demonstration encouraging Bil'in and their supporters to continue struggling together despite the many forces that want the joint struggle to fail. On behalf of Bil'in's Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements, members added that they hope for the speedy recovery of supporters, Lymor Goldstein and Rina Klauman, who are still in the hospital for injuries incurred from last week's demonstration. Lymor, an Israeli lawyer, who was shot in the neck and head by rubber-coated metal bullet at close range last Fri-day, underwent immediate surgery to remove the bullet and shards of his skull, which was successful. He was put back in intensive care today, however, due to a severe infection in his brain and is undergoing surgery today. Rina, from Denmark who suffered from a severe con-cussion, after a soldier beat her with the butt of his gun last Friday, is still hospitalized and awaiting the results from her MRI. However, she is beginning to feel better and is finally able to walk on her own today. |
