August 5, 2003 

[We have been celebrating too early when we thought that the home of 
Hani and Munira Amer and their six children would be spared 
encirclement by The Wall...]

With bulldozers less than 10 meters away from the threatened house 
at Mes'ha,  the army is right now arresting the 40 international and 
Israeli peace activists who spent the night there  - among them Oren 
Medicks of Gush Shalom, and CO Dror Boymel and five other Israelis. 
Other activists are from the US, Britain, France, Italy, Germany 
Sweden and Japan. The activists who sit in a circle singing are 
dragged one by one.

An effort is under way to organize a new group to go there. In case you 
want to join, contact Dorothy  09-9584804, 054-507804 

Suggestion - also for the overseas activists: 
phone to the Ariel Police Station:

+972-3-906-5530 (Prisoner information)

THE 
OCCUPATION
IS THE
"INFRASTRUCTURE
OF TERRORISM".
IT 
MUST
BE 
DESTROYED
