<p><span>CO <a href="http://www.newprofile.org/english/?p=340"><b>Ajuad Zidan</b></a>, 18, from the town of Beit Jann, a Palestinian member of the Druze religious community, was sentenced to 20 days of imprisonment on 14 Dec for his refusal to enlist in the Israeli military. This is his second term in prison (he was earlier sentenced to 10 days in prison on 30 Nov., although he was released a few days early following the evacuation of Military Prison no. 6 during the fire on Mt. Carmel earlier this month). He is currently held in Military Prison no. 4.</span></p>

<p>All 432 pages of Breaking the Silence's new landmark book of IDF soldier testimonies 2000-2010 now browseable, downloadable and embeddable in English <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/45787174/Breaking-the-Silence-Full-Book-ENG-Dec22-10-Occupation-of-the-Territories-Israeli-Soldier-Testimonies-2000-2010" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span id="lw_1293062671_0">here</span></a>.</p>
<p>Before diving into the testimonies, make sure you read the first 2 pages of the introduction for a simple and honest analysis of how the <span id="lw_1293062671_1">IDF</span> degenerated into a tool of dispossession:</p>
<p><em>The testimonies leave no room for doubt: while it is true that the Israeli security apparatus has had to deal with concrete threats in the past decade, including terrorist attacks on Israeli citizens, Israeli operations are not solely defensive. Rather, they systematically lead to the de facto annexation of large sections of the <span id="lw_1293062671_2">West Bank</span> to <span id="lw_1293062671_3">Israel</span> through the dispossession of Palestinian residents. The widespread notion in Israeli society that the control of the Territories is intended exclusively to protect the security of Israeli citizens is incompatible with the information conveyed by hundreds of IDF soldiers.</em></p>

<p><img align="left" alt="No army, no prison, no wall will stop us" height="175" src="http://indymedia.org.il/sites/default/files/noarmynoprison.tiff" width="222" />A year ago, Abdullah Abu Rahmah, of Bil'in's Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements was arrested by Israeli soldiers who raided his home in the middle of the night. A year later he is still in prison. From there he sends the following <a href="http://indymedia.org.il/article/2010/12/en/on-human-rights-day">message</a>.</p>
<p>* Meanwhile, protests continue in Bil'in, the past one in honor of International Human Rights Day and Abu Rahmah. Watch a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/davidreeb#p/a/u/0/fJYT_0fd6QU">video</a> of the protest by <a href="http://www.davidreeb.com">David Reeb</a> and check out a new comic about Abu Rahmah's story "<a href="http://www.freedomfunnies.com/read.html?id=18">No Army, No Prison, No Wall Can Stop Us</a>" by <a href="http://www.freedomfunnies.com">Ethan Heitner</a>.</p>
<p>** Plus a huge bit of good news for Bil'in, <a href="http://palsolidarity.org/2010/12/16034/">Adeeb Abu Rahma</a>, another local activist was released last weekend, after a year and a half in prison.</p>

<p>On 12 January 2010 my father Ibrahim was arrested by the Israeli army and sentenced to two years in prison for organizing and participating in nonviolent protests against the Israel’s wall in the occupied West Bank. <span class="Apple-style-span">R<span class="Apple-style-span">ead <a class="ext" href="http://supportibrahim.com/our-story/">more</a> about Ibrahim's story, here's more about the upcoming release:</span></span></p>
<p>Dear friends, I want to send you a big thank you from the depth of my heart. Your contributions that are meant to free my father Ibrahim, as well as Hassan Mousa and Zaydoon Srour have reached me in Ni’lin. With your generous help I was able to pay the fines necessary to liberate the leaders of our Ni’lin Committee Against The Wall. My father, as well as the other two will be free this Sunday. All of this was only possible because you helped me to free them. </p>

<p dir="rtl">בסביבות השעה 8:00 הגיעו כוחות משטרה לשכונת פארוק בג’בל מוכאבר והחלו בפינוי בני משפחת קרעאין מביתם. מדובר בבנין בן 3 קומות שחיו בו כ-15 איש מהם 7 ילדים. יחד עם השוטרים הגיעו גם קבוצת אזרחים, ככל הנראה מאבטחים, שעם הוצאת החפצים והריהוט של המשפחה מהבית פלשו פנימה והחלו בעבודות שיפוץ שכללו הקמת גדרות מסביב לבית. במקום זוהו אנשים המוכרים לפלסטינים מסילוואן כקשורים לאבטחה של עמותת הימין הקיצוני אלע”ד.</p>
