Al Kaa'bnah tribe confined behind the Wall

Tal A'dasah, of Biet Hanina, north of East Jerusalem was turned into an isolated island by the Annexation Wall that surrounds the area and totally isolates the town after closing its only outlet to the nearby town of Bir Nabala earlier last week.

The residents of Tal A'dasah were forced to set a tent behind the Separation Wall that is constructed on the main road of Bir Nabala to be a place where twenty four children will be able to learn after being unable to go the nearby schools of Bir Nabala and al Jeeb villages.

Mahmoud Ka'abnah, member of al Ka'abnah family and principle of al Ka'abnah elementary school said; "we set this tent out of fear that our children will lose their educational future, after closing the last outlet in the Wall.

They were deprived from reaching their schools" Al Ka'abneh added and said that the residents are now living in a big prison inside their eight barracks of metal and wood where 63 members of the family are imprisoned in without any justification or guilt .

"The norm is "calm," even if it means constant government violence. The mass protest against the oppression is a disruption of order and calm.

The word "calm" was an automatic reflection of how most Israeli Jews and their media see the constant, 40-year Israeli oppression of the Palestinians. This is the norm one thinks of when the Palestinians disrupt the calm."
