JAFFA, February 27, 2007 (WAFA) - About a hundred demonstrators marched Monday evening through the streets of Jaffa, protesting the isareli troops invasion of Nablus, the massive curfew imposed on the city's inhabitants and the killing of an unarmed inhabitant.

Jewish and Arab demonstrators, a large part of them Jaffa inhabitants, among them members of Anarchists Against Fences, Gush Shalom and the Coalition of Women for Peace marched southwards on Jaffa's Jerusalem Boulevard from which they turned to Yefet St., chanting: "Occupation is illegal, remove the siege!" , "Nablus People, don't despair, we will end the occupation yet!", "Dismantle the Border Guard, get out of the Territories Now!", "Peretz' Peretz, hey hey hey and "how many kids did you kill today?"

After passing Yehuda Hayamit St., the marchers ended two and a half hours of protest with a rally at Jaffa's Clock Tower Square, holding placards reading: "Nablus: hospitals and schools under siege", "300,000 Nablus people under curfew-shame!", "The IDF is the biggest terrorist organization in the Middle East!", and "We must put an end to the madness of Israel", as well as black-bordered signs reading "We mourn Anan a-Tibi, 50 year old Nablus inhabitant who was this morning murdered by the occupation forces while walking unarmed in the streets of his city".

Israeli police patrol cars followed the march throughout, but the police made no attempt to disperse it by force.

"This demonstration was initiated spontaneously by young people who cannot bear to remain silent accomplices in the horrible acts perpetrated in our name in the Occupied Territories, the backyard of the state of Israel. The public is being told of "fighting terror", about "The capture of wanted terrorists" and the "uncovering of explosive labs," the organizers said.

They added that the public is not told that that such a massive use of brute force is arousing hatred against us, and the wish for revenge. The public is not told that the Palestinians are not willing to live under occupation and oppression, that just like us they want to live in freedom.

"The public is not told that acts such as this provocative invasion of Nablus are building up the real 'infrastructure of terror', which is the determination of the Palestinians to maintain their struggle against the occupation We have come hear in order to tell the Israeli public that we will have neither peace nor quiet as long as we continue to oppress the Palestinians" say the organizers.
