Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of fall of the Berlin wall. In occupied Palestine, Palestinians and internationals decided to honor this event by tearing down a section of their apartheid wall in Qalandiya, which cuts off Palestinians from entering into Jerusalem. I was fortunate enough to be an observer with my camera and was able to capture the fall of this wall which has been one of the proudest moments in my life.
I am also posting a link to the video of the event, filmed by my good friend and 'brother', Haitham Al Katib.
