What is Anarchists Against the Wall?
In April 2003, three years into the Second Intifada, a small group of Israeli activists, already doing various political work in the
Occupied Territories formed Anarchists Against the Wall. The group was established to organize and more efficiently support Palestinian civilian resistance to large scale confiscation of lands and denial of the freedom of movement, caused by the construction of Israel's wall in the West Bank specifically as well as the occupation in general.
AATW cooperates with local popular committees established in villages resisting the wall. These are autonomous non-partisan committees that initiate and coordinate the demonstrations. In addition, the group works with Israeli and international organizations, Such as the International Solidarity Movement, the Coalition of Women for Peace, Gush Shalom and others. While financially AATW is amongst the poorest in the Israeli left, it does the majority of the mobilizing of Israelis to demonstrations in the Occupied Territories
Since AATW does not receive funding from any state or government, and is hoping to raise funds during the tour for its ever-mounting legal fees, we ask that attendees donate $5 at the door, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
