Please continue your support for Tristan Anderson. More here.On March 13, 2009, Tristan Anderson of Oakland, California was shot in the head by Israeli forces in the Palestinian village of Ni’lin. After participating with the villagers in a nonviolent demonstration against the confiscation of their land, Tristan was taking pictures of Israeli soldiers and police attacking the demonstrators. A high velocity long-range tear gas canister was illegally used at short range, crushing his forehead. Israeli forces twice delayed his ambulance to a hospital where he is fighting for his life.

Music Video - A Wish for Peace in Palestine
Some years ago, German bass legend Hellmut Hattler wrote an energetic song on the Israel/Palestine conflict, called "Assalamu Alaikum". During the Gaza war, filmmakers Damian Léman and Thierry Miguet decided to make a film about the song for YouTube. The concert film focusses on the apartheid wall, as one symbol of the conflict. Interestingly, a Middle East expert of the US government judged the song as beeing "out of the peace business". Journalist Max Blumenthal loved it, and Arab-American comedian Dean Obeidallah said: "That is a great music video. It´s good when art challenges people!"
HATTLER live! Assalamu Alaikum

The International Solidarity
Movement (ISM) needs nonviolent resistance volunteers to stand with
Palestinians against the theft and colonization of Palestinian
land. You will witness and report human rights violations,
participate in nonviolent demonstrations, resist home demolitions and
land confiscations, accompany children and patients to school and
hospital, remove roadblocks, or just share time with Palestinians,
listen to them, and help ensure that their voices are heard. When
you return to your community you will be better equipped to advocate
for the freedom and self-determination of the Palestinian people.
