PRAGOTI

At the end of the Week against the Apartheid Wall from November 9 to 16, Pragoti presents different facets of the Israeli occupation and the daily resistance of the people of Palestine.

While Shimon Peres is billed for knighthood , the testimonial of twelve-year old Muhammad Salah Muhammad Khawajah reaffirms the daily travails of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. But oppression cannot put down resistance, which finds new forms of expression. Checkpoint 303, a collective of artists from Palestine, Tunisia and France creates electronic experimental music that carries a strong message for peace and justice. The number of refuseniks in Israel who conscientiously risk imprisonment in their objection to be party to Israel’s crimes also add to the struggle. The world remembers 21 year old Tom Hurndall who fell to Israeli snipers in Gaza for the crime of rescuing Palestinian children from gunfire. This post is dedicated to the internationalist solidarity for Palestine.
