Anarchists Against the Wall is a direct action group that fights against Israeli apartheid and oppression in all its forms, including the recent atrocities in Gaza. For five years the group has waged a constant struggle against the "separation Wall" that Israel is building. In the West bank, AATW works alongside the Palestinian popular movement to break new ground in the struggle for Palestinian liberation.

Schachaf Polakow, a member of Anarchists Against the Wall, is touring the U.S. and Canada. His presentation includes video and photos, and will focus both on AATW's recent work in solidarity with Gaza and their ongoing resistance in the West Bank. Members of Anarchists Against the Wall continually pay the price for their activism--shootings, including being shot, beaten, arrested and indicted. They desperately need funding for legal support for both Palestinian and Israeli activists who are arrested and charged in the course of the struggle.
