ABSTRACT
Some 200 Palestinians, 35 Israelis and a similar number of internationals gathered on November 9 in the village of Zububa to mark the international day of solidarity against the West Bank wall by tearing a portion of it down. In another development, against the dramatic backdrop of spires of Saints Peter and Paul Church in San Francisco's Washington Square Park, some 200 Palestinian supporters built, and at the end of the day knocked down, a facsimile of the Apartheid Wall Israel is constructing inside the internationally recognized borders of the West Bank. In addition to that, the article presents information on various other protest against the development of wall in West Bank.
