Hundreds of Israelis and Palestinians marched (Saturday, 16/9/2017) in a
march marking the International Day of Peace in solidarity with the
residents of al-Walaja. The march, entitled "Build Bridges, Not Walls,"
was held in protest against the demolition of houses in al-Walaja and
the construction of a wall that will surround the village and prevent
access to the spring and farmland. The march was supposed to end at the
rally, but for fear that this activity would result in the normalization
of the occupation, some residents of al-Walaja prevented the march from
entering the village and the holding of the rally.

The connection between the ultra-Orthodox society and human rights organizations and left activists may be surprising, but the state's push of the ultra-Orthodox to enlist has led the latter to appeal to human rights organizations for assistance. Gabriel Saada is a central activist in the struggle against the ultra-Orthodox recruitment law. He runs an advocacy line for the ultra-Orthodox public, which operates as a kosher radio station through which he conducts his struggle against the draft decree: "My son does not fit this framework, and you come and just cut everything that I worked for from the root".

Jerusalem Municipality destroys the home of two families in East

arrived at the neighborhood of Ras al-‘Amud in East Jerusalem, escorted
by Border Police. They bulldozed a two-story, two-apartment building to
the ground, leaving eight people, four of them minors, homeless. The
pretext for the demolition was lack of building permits, even though it
is the Israeli authorities that deny Palestinian legal construction in
East Jerusalem. The Israeli authorities have already demolished 45 homes
in East Jerusalem since the beginning of the year, leaving 126 people,
including 70 minors, without a roof over their heads.
