Under the slogan, “Towards a Palestine free from settlements, the Wall, Apartheid roads, checkpoints and roadblocks, and for one united Palestine with no islands and cantons”, the residents of Bil'in village, central West Bank, gathered in a protest after the Friday prayer joined by international and Israeli activists.

...A Greek group participated with the people in Bil’in to give their support. The international activists carried banners showing their solidarity with the Palestinian people and the Palestinian right to resist the occupation and live in peace on their land. A British activist, Jody Macantyre, said “We came to be in solidarity with the Palestinians, we believe in their right to live in peace.

"We are here today in Bil'in because we see the Wall as an obstacle to the building of a Palestinian state” from America Sasha Solanas said “...I have heard a lot about this village and the weekly protests against the wall and settlements. I admire the struggle in Bil'in, and I’m happy to be here with you today.”
