"Here at this podium, just as in the olive groves of the West Bank, our primary moral duty is not to maintain ideological purity but rather to stand with Palestinians in their resistance to oppression. We recognize the importance of garnering international support for the ongoing struggle and the major contribution of this award. We believe that standing here, in the current state of affairs, is a direct continuation of the blocking of bulldozers, standing side by side with the stone throwers, or running away from tear has along with young and elderly protesters."

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.
