Bil'in ((アラビア語:بلعين)) is a Palestinian village located in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, west of the city of Ramallah in the central West Bank. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, Bil'in has a population of 1,800, mostly Muslims.〔 It is internationally known for protests against the Israeli occupation and the community leader, Abdullah Abu Rahmah, who heads the weekly protests, is under indictment for what the prosecution has called the 'ideological crime' of taking illegal actions on the West Bank.〔('A decade of anti-wall struggle,' ) Al-Jazeerah 15 February 2015.:'Recently, one of the protest's main leaders, Abdullah Abu Rahmah, once again faced an Israeli military court where he was accused of "ideological crimes" for his role in organising the demonstrations. Under Israeli military law, any demonstration by Palestinians in the West Bank is illegal - whether nonviolent or otherwise. Abdullah has already spent 15 months in prison for organising "illegal demonstrations" and "incitement".'〕〔Yael Marom, ('IDF: Palestinian nonviolent protest is an ideological crime,' ) +972 magazine 9 February 2015.〕 ==History== Potsherds from the Hellenistic, Byzantine, Crusader/Ayyubid, Mamluk and early Ottoman period have been found.〔Finkelstein, 1997, p. 157〕 In 1882 the Palestine Exploration Fund's ''Survey of Western Palestine'' described Bil'in (then called ''Belain'') as "a little village on a hill-side".〔Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p. (296 )〕 At the time of the 1931 census, Bil'in had 39 occupied houses and a population of 166 Muslims.〔Mills, 1932, p. (19 )〕 This had increased to 210 Muslims by 1945. After the Six-Day War in 1967, Bil'in was occupied by Israeli forces. Since the signing of the Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in 1995, it has been administered by the Palestinian National Authority. It is adjacent to the Israeli West Bank barrier—which Israelis often call a security fence—and the Israeli settlement of Modi'in Illit. Historically a small agricultural village, modern Bil'in is now from the western outskirts of Ramallah. According to Neil Rogachevsky, Bil'in is considered an ideological stronghold of Fatah, and many employees of the Palestinian Authority reside there.〔"Rent-a-Crowd Fridays in Palestine", Neil Rogachevsky (), Nov–Dec 2010〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bil'in」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
