Nonviolent Resistance to the Separation Wall
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FULLERTON
LANGSDORF HALL ROOM 321
7:30PM
Largely unreported by the media, Palestinians and Israelis
are waging a major, grassroots nonviolent campaign of
resistance to the construction of Israel's Wall. Palestinian
farmers, workers, mothers and students, together with Israeli
and international volunteers, are braving teargas, beatings,
bullets, arrest and even death to blockthe construction of the
wall with their bodies. Rulled illegal by the International Court
of Justice in 2004, the Wall appropriates Palestinian land and
destroys villages. Ayed Morrar led his community in a peaceful
campaign of 50 protest marches to stop construction of the
wall. Jonathan Pollack has participated in over 200 West Bank
protests and has helped Israelis to join Palestinians in
resisting the wall. Join Ayed Morror and Jonathan Pollack as
they visit CSUF and share their personal accounts

and offers them to the community at no cost. BNB looks to
collect, among others, childrens books to be distrubuted to

"Peace vigil every Sunday night at the foot of the

We are a small group of people who believe in
non-violence both physically and in our thoughts.
We stand at the pier with a sign that says:"Visualize
World Peace. It's up to you". We want people to
start believing that it is possible to have a world at
peace, even if it's hard for most people to even
imagine it. We will discuss peace and non-violence
in a spirit of dignity and respect with anyone who
is rational and smile quietly at those who aren't.
With all the violence in our world, we seek to
encourage people to look at the alternative - to seek
peace in their hearts and in our world.
