Israel National News reports,
A petition against the Partition Wall - a term adopted by activists who believe its purpose is not security, but rather to divide the land - was circulated on Gush Etzion email lists. The hundreds who signed, and those who declined, thinking petitions to be a waste of time, are now being called upon to join the veteran activists and Land of Israel youth in standing up to the wall.
“The time has come,” explains Women in Green’s Nadia Matar, an Efrat resident struggling to galvanize her neighbors to action. “Now that the cement is really going up, people are beginning to understand that it is not a security fence. It is a Partition Wall, and in the age of Kassam rockets, such a border only keeps us out, while rockets fly freely overhead.”
A protest is set to take place this Tuesday, February 6, at 4 PM near the northern entrance to Efrat.
