STOP The TRANS-ISRAEL HIGHWAY NO. 6
Campaign against the Trans-Israel Highway
The 'Trans-Israel' highway, also known as highway 6, is going to be the
largest transportation project in Israel. The highway will cross the
country from north to south. Some parts of the highway will be toll-roads.
Even so, it is not going to relieve the traffic congestion that plague us
today and will become even more severe as more than 100,000 new cars hit
the roads every year. As usual the construction of the highway will
demolish nature.
Direct Action wasn't used as seen in England, and campaigners don't know
about its benefits. The main stream organizations are impotent and unable
to do their work, because of political reasons, they get money from the
government. Most of the protests are fluffy and we are loosing the battle.
We are a small group of 20 people from the DIY movement, Greens, Squatters,
Animal Rights activist, Peace activist, anti military activist, Anarchist
and others. We publish Zines and other publications in hebrew. We are not
asking for money, but for your support.
We need information on how to stop roads, organize street party's, how to
network with local communities, Bring people out to the streets. We also
need pictures, films and videos on road campaigns. We have Road Raging
Top Tips for Wrecking Road building. If you have any other information
web sites, publications please let us know.
Our address:
