Ayed Morrar and Jonathan Pollak are friends and among the major figures in the Palestinian led, Israeli-supported nonviolent struggle against Israel's military occupation. Largely unreported
by the media, thousands of Palestinians and hundreds of Israeli's are waging a major grassroots nonviolent campaign of resistance
to the construction of Israel's Wall. Palestinian farmers, workers, mothers, and students, together with Israeli and international volunteers, are braving teargas, beatings, bullets, arrest, and even death to block the construction of the Wall with their bodies. Ruled
illegal by the International Court of Justice in 2004, the Wall appropriates Palestinian land and destroys villages for more Israeli settlements.


In a victory for nonviolent direct action, Ayed led his community of Budrus in a peaceful campaign of 50 protest marches to stop the
construction of the Wall on Budrus land. Jonathan has participated in over 200 West Bank protests and has helped to mobilize hundreds of Israelis to join Palestinians in resisting the Wall.
Both Ayed and Jonathan have been imprisoned for their prominent roles in the nonviolent movement.
