This week the AAtW people joined Palestinians from the villages and the region and internationals in the struggle against the separation fence and occupation.
At Bil'in - we joined the 185th Friday demonstration, with mild "retaliation" of state forces - tear gas the wind often carry towards them, and harmless blue colored water. See video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4CSmE8iorU
In Ni'ilin, few demos during the week with a bit toned down repression during demonstrations but harassments villagers at nights, and increased efforts to block the way of the Israeli AAtW from arriving to the village. Israeli Media
still cover the struggle in Bil'in and Ni'ilin but much less than previous weeks

NO HAY DUDA DE QUE EL PRESIDENTE Uribe debe tener información de primera mano sobre cómo fue la colaboración de Los Pepes con las autoridades, en su tarea compartida de perseguir y liquidar a Pablo Escobar.

NO SÉ SI A USTEDES LES PASA LO MISmo, pero estoy espantada del país en que vivimos, y cada mañana, cuando despierto, me pregunto: ¿qué horror nos espera hoy? Y al tomar los periódicos y revistas trato de mirar sin ver los titulares aunque luego tenga que leer para estar informada, como me corresponde en razón de oficio mas no como individuo que intenta mantener cierta sanidad mental.

From Apathy to Activism: Student activists lead the way in building cross-campus, cross-movement coalitions
by Susan Dianne Brophy, from Canadian Dimension, September/October 2008.

Why is it that students don’t really give a damn about anything outside their own lives?” asks Mikhael Aziz. An upper-year undergraduate student at York University, Aziz is also a member of Students Against Israeli Apartheid, a group at the forefront of campus mobilization.

Regarding the deeply rooted apathy that many students exhibit, my observation, and that of those with whom I have consulted in writing this article, is that it is an offshoot of a sense of self-entitlement. Most students have yet to experience any political upheaval or economic hardship for themselves. The wave of relatively steady economic growth in Canada, and the consumer culture that accompanies it, results in a dangerous combination of political complacency and consumer insatiability. Coupled with the demolishment of the welfare state, the resulting competitive individualism produces a sense of hostility expressed as self-entitlement, which has had a potent demobilizing effect across campuses nationwide.

Where now for Oaxaca's social movement?
Two years later what is left now in Oaxaca? Has the APPO been reduced to a memorial mechanism to commemorate its fallen? Is it accurate, as URO keeps insisting with epileptic vigor, that, "nothing is happening" here? Or are we seeing a movement in chrysalis, reconsolidating only to reemerge just as vibrant, but even smarter, than before?

Un pueblo que recibe los embates del clima, del hambre y de la ocupación
Mientras el circo político que es el Estado haitiano elegía una nueva primera ministra, el pueblo ayisien era golpeado por el triple flagelo de la ocupación militar, una oleada de huracanes y el hambre.
