Bil'in is a Palestinian village that is struggling to exist. It is fighting to safeguard its land, its olive trees, its resources... its liberty.

While annexing close to 60% of Bil'in land for Israeli settlements and the construction of Israel's separation wall, the state of Israel is strangling the village. Every day it destroys a bit more creating in an open air prison for Bil'in's inhabitants.

Supported by Israeli and international activists, Bil'in residents peacefully demonstrate every friday in front of the "work-site of shame". And every friday the Israeli army responds with violence, both physically and psychologically.

Bil'in est un village de Palestine qui veut continuer à exister, qui lutte pour sauvegarder sa terre, ses oliviers, ses ressources, sa liberté.

En annexant près de 60% des terres de Bil'in pour y construire le mur de séparation, l'état d'Israël étouffe le village, le détruit chaque jour un peu plus en emmurant ses habitants dans une prison à ciel ouvert.

Soutenus par des activistes israéliens et internationaux, les habitants de Bil'in manifestent pacifiquement tous les vendredis devant le chantier de la honte. Et tous les vendredis l'armée donne pour seule réponse la violence, aussi bien physique que morale.

The children appear traumatized. The teachers say that when they hear a loud noise they look to the sky and cry out and weep. They don’t know what the future holds. They deserve better.
