Mohammed Khatib<\/p>\n
Mohammed Khatib is a leading member of Bil’in’s\u00c2\u00a0 Popular Committee Against the Wall and the Secretary of Bil’in’s Village\u00c2\u00a0 Council. Mohammed has been a principle organizer of Bil’in’s year and a half long, creative, nonviolent struggle to prevent the construction of Israel’s Wall on Bil’in’s land and to block the expansion of neighboring illegal Israeli settlements. Mr. Khatib has frequently been arrested and wounded by the Israeli military for participating in nonviolent protests.<\/p>\n
Firyal Abu Haikal<\/p>\n
Firyal Abu Haikal recently\u00c2\u00a0 retired after 11 years as the headmistress at\u00c2\u00a0 the Kortuba School in the heart of Hebron’s old city. The Kortuba school serves 100 Palestinian children in grades 1- 10. Hebron’s old city is a\u00c2\u00a0 center for some of the most extreme Israeli settlers, who regularly use\u00c2\u00a0 violence against Palestinian residents in an effort to drive them from
\ntheir homes and community. By continuing to function despite continual attacks by Israeli settlers and soldiers on students and staff, the school has serves as a model of nonviolent resistance to Israeli occupation.<\/p>\n
A lifelong resident of Tel Rumeida, and a mother of eleven children, Firyal and her family have remained in their home despite efforts by\u00c2\u00a0 settlers to take over their land and home. Firyal and all members of her family have been attacked and harassed by settlers, and her husband and sons arrested by the Israel military, simply for insisting on remaining in their homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
