With the so-called Middle East peace talks stalled for more than two years, grassroots Palestinian activism has been on the rise.
 

Four tent camps - dubbed nascent Palestinian towns by the activists - have been erected and swiftly dismantled by the Zionists since last month.
 

A Zionist army’s spokeswoman said soldiers evicted around 20 Palestinians on Saturday morning as they tried to erect a cluster of steel-framed tents near Al-Tiwaneh, a Palestinian village south of the city of al-Khalil.
 

"We came here to build a Palestinian village upon Palestinian land, and to freely use our land in the way we want as Palestinians have rights and own this land," activist Younis Araar said.
 

Al-Khalil and its surroundings have Jewish settlements whose growth the Zionist regime views as its biblical and security prerogative.
 

But, the international community deems Zionist regime’s settlement of land it occupied in the 1967 Middle East war illegal, and Palestinians fear the hilltop enclaves will deny them a viable state.
