Sidewalk Chalk and a message!

Joshua Brown, ISM international, spoke with Baltimore IMC on August 24, 2001 from the refugee Camp Balata. The following recorded conversation with Joshua describes the heightening military activity in Nablus and his experience working with children in the village of Bet Iba on August 22, 2002. He tells the story of internationals attempting to prevent the IDF from firing from their tanks at stone-throwing children in Nablus on August 23rd. On the same day, several people are arrested, almost deported and then released for "protecting stone-throwing Palestinian children." In the same incident a Palestinian man is detained, handcuffed, blindfolded and beaten. Finally, Joshua details a peaceful demonstration in Huwara organized by the village residents and attended by internationals and a contingent of 400 Israeli peace activists. Their goal - to end the occupation of Palestine. The demonstration was attacked with tear gas and sound grenades.
