the beautiful video tribute to Bassam, martyred activist of Bil'in,
filmed by Shai Pollack! The tears come as we remember the wonderful
loving spirit of Bassam.
Tito Kayak sends his greetings from Puerto Rico
and remembers Bassam always.
Thank you Bassam and all the people of Bil'in for
sharing with the world your indomitable spirit
and exemplifying the non-violent struggle for justice in Palestine.
Exactly one year ago today, Bassem Abu Rahmah was killed in Bil`in, in the West Bank, Palestine.
When he was hit with a tear gas canister, a lot of Palestinians, internationals and Israeli activists came to the village to remember Bassem and to participate in the weekly demonstration.
Around 1 PM some Palestinian leaders and the family and ...friends of
Bassem held speeches about his life and the way he got killed by the
Israeli army last year. They also talked about how they want to
continue the good work Bassem was doing in the nonviolent struggle.

Later on, the group walked to the wall while singing for Bassem.
Arriving there, they asked the Israeli army for justice and peace.
The army was not in for a conversation and shot teargas canisters,
bullets and sound bombs between the mass of demonstrators. Smoke bombs
were also used, so the army could go into the group and arrest people
but they didn`t succeed in that. Quite a lot of people got inhalation
problems, so after half an hour they needed to return to the village.

You can watch the movie about the life of Bassem and the way he got killed.
