"We are realists and understand that the abolition of the state system will not occur tomorrow, but even today we can already demand a way of life with "no rulers and no ruled", "no masters and no slaves." Direct action is the democratic act when democracy stops functions. The Berlin wall was not dismantled by rulers and agreements but rather by citizens who felled it with their own hands."

Anarchists Against the Wall
Anarchists Against the Wall (Hebrew: אנרכיסטים נגד גדרות) was a direct action group composed of Israeli anarchists and anti-authoritarians who opposed the construction of the Israeli West Bank barrier. The group disbanded, at least in part due to the decline in Palestinian popular resistance in the late 2010s.
