Anarchists Against the Wall (AAtW), (''(ヘブライ語:אנרכיסטים נגד גדרות)'') sometimes called "Anarchists Against Fences" or "Jews Against Ghettos", is a direct action group composed of Israeli anarchists and anti-authoritarians who oppose the construction of the Israeli Gaza Strip barrier and Israeli West Bank barrier. The AAtW calls the West Bank barrier the 'Apartheid Wall'. Although AAtW has no official membership, it claims to have around 100 active participants who coordinate with Palestinians and groups like the International Solidarity Movement to organize nonviolent marches, civil disobedience, and direct action. A member of Anarchists Against the Wall has described the construction of the barrier as part of a strategy of ethnic cleansing, "one of the greatest threats the Palestinian population has known over the last century... which is to make life so appalling for the Palestinian people that they will be left with one choice: move out."〔(''We Are All Anarchists Against the Wall'' ). Federazione Dei Comunisiti Anarchici, 2004〕 ==History== On 26 December 2003, during an AATW demonstration near the village of Mas'ha, the Israeli Defense Forces shot and wounded Gil Na'amati, an anarchist and former paratrooper. Shots were fired after demonstrators started to shake the locked gate in the fence. Video clips of that incident were shown on all Israeli TV channels. On 12 March 2004, during a demonstration against the Wall at the village of Kharbatha, Itay Levinsky was shot in the eye with a rubber bullet. On April 3 Jonathan Pollak was shot in the head with a tear gas canister from an M16, at a distance of approximately thirty meters, at a protest against the Wall in the West Bank village of Bil'in, leaving him with internal brain hemorrhaging and a wound requiring 23 stitches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=560981 )〕 In February 2006, Matan Cohen, a 17-year-old member of Anarchists Against The Wall, was shot with rubber bullets by Israeli soldiers during a demonstration in Beit Sira village.〔 Cohen, whose left eye was injured, later told reporters, "My feeling is that the blood of left-wing activists and the Palestinians is cheap."〔(Injured anti-fence 'anarchist' speaks out ) (via Ynetnews)〕 Three soldiers and Border Police officers were injured by rocks thrown at them, and one police officer was taken to hospital.〔 On August 11, in the midst of the 2006 war in Lebanon, marked the most severe injury to an Israeli activist yet. During a demonstration against the wall in Bil'in, an Israeli border police officer shot Limor Goldstein in the head with a rubber coated steel bullet from a distance of 10 to 20 meters. Shooting rubber bullets from such a short distance is prohibited and video evidence indicates that the shot was unprovoked.〔(Lymor Goldstein, An Israeli demonstrator got shot in his head by an Israeli border patrol soldier during a demonstration in Bil‘in )〕 With border police officers at the scene initially refusing to provide medical treatment to his injury, or let others treat him properly, it took two hours to complete the evacuation. Goldstein, who suffered brain damage, later told a ''Haaretz'' reporter: "I'm not depressed, but I feel an ongoing helplessness and disorientation. I have nightmares in which I relive what happened .”〔(One blown to the brain ), Haaretz, 8 September 2006 〕 All four of them, and other injured "only with less serious damage" continue with the joint Israeli-Palestinian struggle against the separation fence and Israeli occupation. AAtW issued a call for support in July 2007, owing more than $40,000 in expense for over 60 indictments.〔(Call for Support by Anarchists Against the Wall ), Indymedia (Marseille), July 31, 2007 〕 A collection of writings by activists in the group appeared in 2013.〔Uri Gordon and Ohal Grietzer, eds.
