While Abu Mazen is meeting the Palestinian parliament, and while the IDF with the  assassination of 
Gaza PFLP leader Nidal Salameh continues its torpedo campaign we also continue with our actions. 

FYI: the following invitation was sent to our activists.

You are invited to participate on Saturday in an 
Israeli-Palestinian joint action against the insatiable Wall: 

We say No to the Wall of Transfer!
Information and Protest action:
Saturday, May the 3rd 2003 in Mas'ha

With the pretext of the settlers' security concerns, the Wall of Apartheid is being erected deep in the heart 
of the Palestinian territories. The Wall is being built on agricultural land confiscated from Palestinian 
villages. The dispossessed Palestinian peasants, caught in between the Wall and the 'green line' without 
any sources of income and livelihood, are being forced to leave their land.
The Wall is not built in order to secure the safety of Israeli citizens but in order to gain hegemony and 
control over the water resources; for the sake of the de-facto annexation of the settlements to Israel; to 
bisect the Palestinian territories into small isolated enclaves void of territorial contiguity and 
viability, and in order
 to create a border zone 
'clean' of Palestinians. 
Thousands of Palestinians have already left their homes because of lack of means to survive.
In April 23, 2003, the bulldozers have arrived to the village Mas'ha, adjacent to the Israeli settl
ement Elkanah. Elkana 
is about 7 kilometers away from the green line, but the route of the fence, approved in the governm
ent meeting of June 
24, was changed so that it will include Elkana as well in the Israeli side. The bulldozers have sta
rted to separate 
Mas'ha, in effect, from its only remaining source of livelihood after two and a half years of closu
re. 98% of the lands of 
Mas'ha will be placed in the Israeli side of the fence - between the fence and the green line, toge
ther with thousands of 
dunams of Bidia Sanniriya and other villages in the area. Along with the lands that will be cut off
 the villages, the fence 
disconnects the road from Jenin to Ramallah, a segment of which will now be in the Israeli side of 
the fence, thus 
establishing further the isolation of the Palestinian enclaves from each other. 
We say NO to the 'Silent Transfer'

                        Join us in a demonstration of solidarity 
                             with the people of  Mas'ha against 
                                            the Wall of Transfer
