TEL AVIV, December 28, 2006, (WAFA)- Israeli peace activists have blocked Thursday central Tel Aviv with razor wire from the Apartheid Wall, the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) said.

The pacifists stretched the razor wire across Basel Street with a sign from the Wall that reads in Arabic, Hebrew and English: "Anyone who touches the fence endangers their life."

The twenty activists from "Anarchists Against the Wall", who attend the weekly Friday demonstrations against the Apartheid Wall in Bil'in, set up the blockade and handed out flyers to passers by explaining the action.

The action was taken to protest the Apartheid Wall being built through the West Bank, as well as severe travel restrictions on Palestinian people.

The leaflets remind Israelis that they bear responsibility for the suffering of Palestinians as a result of their government's apartheid policies.
