I decided to focus this post on the daily life of Palestinians inside of the occupied old city of Hebron. While violence is very prevalent by both the military and the settlers it is the daily occupation and humiliation that makes life so incredibly hard for the Palestinians living under these conditions.
Another hourly military patrol in the old city.
Two children waiting to pass a street that has been closed off for settler use.
Woman take their children around a military perimeter made for the arrival of a Jewish birthright tour.
Children walking behind two soldiers moving through the old city.
Israelis and Palestinians are forced to walk on different paths separated by a concrete barrier.
Children of the old city.
Two teenagers being detained at a checkpoint.
The old city is desolate by night time for fear of attacks. Taken at 5 pm.
The locks used to help safeguard shops against settler and military break-ins.
that's so something to see

ReplyDeleteSidney,
ReplyDeleteKnowingly going out into a war zone always triggers that little voice in the back of your mind that tells you not to go but there are certain things that need to be done in our world. The urgency for Palestine and other global injustices seems to immediately over-ride any fears that may stop us from going out to force a change.
Great photography, Kyle.
