SALFIT, May 13, 2007, (WAFA)- Palestinian citizens and international and Israeli peace activists, from International Solidarity Movement (ISM), would organize tomorrow a protest against the Israel's confiscation of land and the restriction on Palestinians, in the West Bank city of Salfit, ISM reported.

ISM said Sunday in a press release that events have spurred this demonstration:

1. Tomorrow's action commemorates Al Nakba ("The Catastrophe"), when, in 1948, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced to abandon their homes and properties and flee their homeland. The Palestinian dispossession has remained for the past five and a half decades.

2. For the past 6-7 months, the Israeli army has confiscated and denied access to Kheribat al Shajarah, an ancient Roman structure.

Archaeologists have been allowed to enter the site and area but access to Palestinians have been denied.

3. A recent fence that the Israeli army has built around the illegal Israeli settlement of Ariel has been hindering access to Palestinian farmland.

Jawdat, a resident of Salfit, said, "The wall will arrive here sooner or later like it has in the villages. This is a demonstration to show our solidarity and that we are not alone in protesting against the wall."
