"They demolished the wall in Berlin, we will demolish the one in Palestine."

"In this short video produced with the support of the NoVa Center for Social Innovation, Palestine Monitor would like to introduce you to fatima Borjia, a non-violent activist and from Al- Msara village (Bethlemmelocated 15 kilometers south of Bethlehem)."

Every Friday since 2006 the villagers of Al-Ma’sara have organized weekly, and sometimes daily, non-violent demonstrations against the wall and the settlements surrounding it.The village is located 22 kilometres from the internationally recognized Green Line, the armistice line set out in 1949, and is surrounded by Israeli settlements Gush Atsyoun and Efrata to the north and west and Tequa settlement to the east, inhabited by more than 50 000 Israeli settlers. The village has already lost 30% of its land and if the plans to build the wall proceed, it will lose another 30%.
