One Day in the Westbank

Just — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:40:45 +0000

There is this one palestinian Village in the Westbank arguing with israeli Settlers over a Spring since 2009.
Every week there are symbolic Protests.

Our Journey started at the باب العمود Damascus Gate in Jerusalem by taking the Bus to Ramallah at 8 in the morning (continue).

After having a Coffee in Ramallah we continued our Travel into the North direction Nablus.
1: Banner by FATAH showing couple of Martyrs. 2: Abandoned Checkpoint.

After a 40min ride on small Roads through the hilly Landscape we arrived at the Village.

Later we met a Villager who invited us into their home. In the House some kind of Press-Conference took place and we met a few israeli, german and american
Supporter of the Village. I recorded an Interview a Film-Crew from the US did with some Protesters (Start 1:00):

Speakers from the Minaret calling for a Prayer. Around Noon more and more People gathered in the Village-Center. Kids playing Games.

Even Children prepared for the Protest, wearing Masks and holding Signs showing the Faces of their Fathers who got arrested during further Protests.

40 Days ago one Protester was shot in the Face with a Teargas-Bullet and died.
This Day the Protesters remembered him with carrying his Picture in a golden Frame.

Near the Street you can see two military Jeeps.
It´s where the Spring is and the Protest wants to march to.

Flag of FATAH.

The IDF shot Teargas as soon as the Protesters tried to climb down the Hill to keep them on distance.

Water-Cannon loaded with some kind of butanoic acid (Buttersaeure). The smell was incredible.

ISRAEL – Tel Aviv (4) (On the Run with.. SMD) (Streets 2)

For NOA, KLONE, MERK & FOMA.
Yo 035, EMG, LALO, ROBAT.

In 2010 OKID26 & JOKE42 declaired Tel Aviv as the NEW BARCELONA.
Abandoned Buildings & Industrial-Areas, Daytime-Painting in the Center of the City, best Street-Food, the Beach, Cafés, a most friendly &
hospitable Scene, a Police who do not care much for Graffiti.

In Israel the first who ever did Graffiti were the Nah Nachs (נ נח נחמ נחמן מאומן‎), a religious Group
following the teachings of some special Rabbi. Since 15 years they are painting their Slogan “Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’uman” all over the Country.
Sketch and Paintings below:

נ נח נחמ נחמן מאומן‎ // Na Nach Nachma Nachman Street-Piece:

If you visit Israel and plan to paint you should stop by CAPZOOLA in Geula 42 in Tel Aviv.
It´s (besides an Art-Store lately) the only Shop that sells high quality Spray-Paint (from Europe).

Photo below: Ravit (Street-Cat) and Lalo.

Lalo opened CAPZOOLA 5 years ago and sells spanish Montanas ever since. Hardcore costs 30 Shekel and 94s 35 Shekel
(around 6 and 7 EUR). Western Graffiti-Culture is kind of young in Israel – Lalo actively helped building a Scene with bringing the Spraycan to Israel
and offering a Place to hang out. CAPZOOLA is the Writers Corner of Israel.

ZOOLA (Urban Dict.): “(..) Hebrew slang: it describes the sort of atmosphere that hangs around on those lazy summer days, when it’s too
hot to be doing anything and there’s nothing to be done anyway, and you just sit in the shade and stare at the sunlight outside in a sort of half-conscious state.
A zoola can last as little as a few minutes, or as long as days, depending on the situation.”

FILMPIRATEN: Dresden Nazifrei 13.02.2012 – Prügelorgie der Polizei

UND:

Am 18. Februar 2012 gegen sächsische Verhältnisse demonstrieren und jeden Versuch eines Aufmarsches blockieren. Wir haben am 18. Februar eine Demonstration vom Hauptbahnhof bis zum Haus der Begegnung ab 11 Uhr angemeldet. Ihr erinnert euch, das Haus der Begegnung war letztes Jahr rechtswidrig und menschenunwürdig gestürmt worden. Wir fordern euch deshalb auf: Kommt nach Dresden und zeigt euch solidarisch. Das war und ist der Konsens unserer Aktionen und unsere stärkste Waffe gegen das wachsende autokratische Demokratieverständnis hier in Sachsen.

Gegen die Nazis wollen wir den Sack zu machen. Deswegen werden tausende Menschen bundesweit gemeinsam mit Dresdnerinnen und Dresdnern jeden Versuch eines Naziaufmarsches im Stadtgebiet blockieren, sollte dieser unternommen werden. Wir sind flexibel und bereit. Kein Nazis wird am 18. Februar in Dresden marschieren.

Kein Fußbreit den Faschisten. via: http://www.dresden-nazifrei.com/

Fuer die Jungle World in Mea Shearim in Jerusalem

My dear Friends Hanno, Nina und Joschua mit einem spannenden Artikel in der aktuellen JUNGLE WORLD. Fotos von mir.

JUNGLE: »Sie haben ständig Autos mit Steinen beworfen und Straßen blockiert.« Heute fliegen lediglich vereinzelt Kartons auf die Straße. Als der Fotograf die Szene
mit seiner Kamera festhalten will, wird er von einigen Jugendlichen umringt, die das Display seiner Kamera beäugen und verächtlich auf den Boden spucken. (..)”

1. Photo: Mea Shearim: “Do not pass with immodest Clothes”. For our Reserach and Photos we entered the ultraorthodox Community Mea Shearim in Jerusalem.
Feeling like an Intruder. People staring at us, follwing us.

Charedim reading the Pashkevil. It´s the way Communication works in ultraorthodox Communities. The Posters can change several times a Day.

Thx Steffi.

ANTI-ACTA-PROTEST BERLIN – 11.2.2012

Just — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:19:01 +0000

Today 10.000 People joined the Protest against ACTA in Berlin:

Speakers:

Stephan Urbach (Telecomix)
Jan Engelmann (Wikimedia e.V.)
Surprise Guest (Zensurama/HI)
Marcel Weiß (Neunetz)
Matthias Spielkamp (irights.info)

Markus Beckedahl (Digitale Gesellschaft e.V.):

After a few kilometers the protest-march split into two Groups
and i joined the Anti-Capitalist-Antifa-Block.

Hollywood was so close:

We reached the official end-Point of the Demonstration
but nobody wanted to stop protesting. So around 400 People broke

through the Police-Lines and marched through the City and caused much Traffic-Chaos.
Cops had no control.

ISRAEL – Tel Aviv (1) (NO ONE IS ILLEGAL)

Just — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 10:46:59 +0000

In Tel-Aviv on the Evening of January 10th around 300 People protested against a Bill the Knesset just passed.
The Bill could put asylum seekers in Jail without a Trial. Israelis who help Migrants can go to Jail for 5 – 15 years. Read more on Haaretz.

The Traffic was blocked.

1: There is a ANTIFA in Israel // 2: The Slogan says something like: “In Israel you can not speak of the Holocaust but you can build a Concentration Camp.”
They mean Deportation-Camps. Maybe they allude to an other new Law prohibiting the use of Nazi symbols in protests (Haaretz).

The Protesters moved loudly through the City trying to block main streets (Malkei Israel, King George & Dizenghoff).
Around 2am the Police evicted them all.
