Palestinians Dismantle Isreali Roadblocks
As Palestinian villagers decide to take dismantling the Israeli occupation into their own hands, the Real News Network's Lia Tarachansky speaks to Jesse Rosenfeld on segregation and the West Bank. Checkpoints and roadblocks play a key role in separating Palestinians from Israelis and Israeli appropriated areas, from commercial areas, and from each other. Since the beginning of the second Intifadah in September 2000 the number of checkpoints in the West Bank increased to over 500.
In an act of resistance, the International Solidarity Movement organized a symbolic action of dismantling four roadblocks segregating four villages from each other. Hours after the protest Israeli bulldozers replaced two. This action comes days after former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told in a Yediot Ahronot interview he believes Israel must withdraw from most of the Occupied Palesitian Territories.

Having worked closely with the victims of oppression in Palestine and Haiti, having seen and heard for myself the ways in which powerful nations have inflicted violence and poverty upon millions of people, and having compared mainstream and independent media accounts of these crucial realities, I can affirm that it is only through independent media like The Dominion that the public will acquire the information and analysis they need in order to work toward intelligent and constructive solutions.
