Terrifying the children of Palestine

Palestinian children play with them and injure, or even kill themselves -
Apartheid
Daily Harrassement, humiliation, violence, torture and even death... Checkpoints in the West Bank - Palestine

anywhere bars at one of over 600 checkpoints in the West Bank,
restricting daily movement , economy and lives, even hindering
heatlhcare, medics and patients for treatment.

Fences
and bars, everywhere in Palestine. The Universal Declaration of Human
Rights states: Art. 13:1 (1) "Everyone has the right to freedom of
movement and residence within the borders of each state ".... Not in
Palestine
Palestinian
Woman argueing with a soldier while the little child is afraid. Is this
what the world want to continue and sustain. Almost 90 % of Palestinian
Children suffer of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, due to the
continuous oppression, violence, attacks and more evil the occupation
does to them.
Palestine
in Pieces - Woman at checkpoint negotiating. Standard IOA policy: Make
them tired. Silence them, if not detain and harrass some more.
Israeli soldiers detain an unarmed civilian- Israeli soldiers taking a Palestinian Youth
Israeli
soldiers and a child arrest. In 1 year over 1500 children detained in
West Bank Palestine, while the world is wide asleep and ignoring or
silencing these atrocities of mankind and violations of the Universal
Rights of the Child. Ongoing. Every day. Even today.
Israeli soldier with dog. Here it is secured for safety, but too often send to attack civilians, women and even children
The world most "moral" army...
Destroying
systematically Palestinian Homes. Forget all details. It is all about
Ethnic cleansing. Over 500 villages have been wiped off the map since
1948 and in ongoing and upgoing speed Palestinians are evicted out of
their homes to be occupied by settlers, elsewhise demolished
Gaza,
the Aftermath after the "Cast Lead" offensive by Israel. Over 1400
people died in 22 days, and many residential buildings is worlds largest
and dense populated open air prison were, and are still demolished.
Another
house demolition. Often the owner of the house even gets the bill for
demolition. A Magnum Opus of Apartheid. The West Bank has been occupied
by the Israel authorities since 1967. Aqaba, like 60 per cent of the
West Bank, is classified as "Area C" and no structure can be built or
even repaired in "Area C" without a permit from the Israeli army.
Permits are almost impossible to obtain.
Another
home demolished, another family homeless. Ethnic cleansing in any
possible way, destruction, depriving, restricting, if that does not
work, restrict food until calories, destroy wells, or else, make them
sick by throwing chemical weapons like white phosphorus or depleted
uranium. Again.. the world is in silence
A Palestinian boy walks though the rubble of buildings after a bombing of Gaza
Demolition, visible everywhere in Palestine
Still the devastation in Gaza is visible due to restrictions of import of building and reconstruction materials.
Another home destroyed...
And
another... No place in Gaza where the marks of aggressive
disproportional attacks on civilian homes of Gazans by Israel are not
visible
During
the war on Gaza 2008-2009 codenamed "Operation Cast Lead" homes where
indiscriminate attacked by fighterjets, tanks and naval vessels, among
the victims over 300 children died
Home to a family once...
Buildings, scarved... due to bombing, shooting, shelling and debris
Ruins
everywhere. Live goes on in Gaza while the only thing Palestinians can
do is wait, for an end, pray the world awakens, intervenes to stop this,
or.. more often and likely, wait for the next attack
Children playing in the rubble
Palestinians
in a visible battered camp. Still a large part of the world is ignorant
and believes there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza/Palestine. Witness
yourself, if these are normal humanitarian circumstances according to
2011 standards.
People on the street, living on.... in oppression, occupation which is not only destroying their homes but lives too
Children in Dheisheh Camp located just south of Bethlehem in the West Bank of Palestine
A
Palestinian child inside what was left of his bedroom, the walls marked
by attacks. Is this what you would wish for your child?
Desperation in the eyes... which have never seen freedom or peace
And still smiling, even when life is hard. A woman. Palestinian. In a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon
Still
remembering Home. A Palestinian man holding a key. A symbol for the
Palestinian refugees who were exiled during the Nakba. Don't think it is
about arab or Islam. Zionism has no religion. It is indiscriminate to
religions, no divine ruling there. Also 100.000 Christians were exiled
(or killed) during the Exodus by Israel in 1948: The Nakba (Catastrophe)
and the 77 massacres to achieve the state of "Israel"
Still
there is Love ❤ Palestine never gives up... Palestinians never will
surrender to these atrocities they are undergoing now for over 63 years
The Palestinian pride is not to stop nor to annihilate. A Man wearing a traditional keffiyeh
But the children born in these circumstances never seen a normal life... it has to stop
It
has to stop, children have to see their mothers, fathers, brothers or
sisters, their loved ones being harrassed, violated or even killed. A
Palestinian child witnesses many funerals. Just imagine for a second...
what if this is would be YOUR child...
While
the wall in Berlin was demolished decades ago, in Palestine they are
erected every day even today. And bombed down again to be rebuild.
Anything, to restrict the lives and humanity of Palestine
So Palestine literally diggs it's way out. A tunnel in Gaza
Palestinian
activists dig a tunnel between Rafah and Egypt. These tunnels are a
lifeline between Gaza and the outside world. They are several hundred
meters long and run about 15 meters below the surface.
A
tunnel worker in action. Endangering his life for basic neccesities or
anything which is prohibited from entering Gaza. Even life cattle.
During this work, many are killed. If it wasn't for occupation, he might
be a teacher, a baker, an engineer.... Many well and high educated
Palestinians in Gaza find no job and have to do this work as well to be
able to take care of their families...
Hundreds
got killed while working in the tunnels... While the world believes
there is an ease on the siege on Gaza, the "daily" entry of truckloads
of "aid", food and basic needs is just being further restricted. So fare
the "Ease" on Gaza. May Allah SWT grant the shuhada Jannatul Firdaus
and give them peace they never knew in this world. Ameen.
Others
resist the occupation, the assassinations, the massacres. Palestine's
Moqawama (Resistance) defending their county and their loved ones
against the Israeli aggression.
Even
the youth revolt. You would too if this was your life, your country,
your family which you see devastated, demolished or killed, you would
fight back too, even if you only have a stone... and no fear left for
occupation took you beyond fear
Shabab (Youth) resisting
While
others and press are hiding at a "safe" place. For "live" ammunition in
Palestine used by Israeli soldiers is kind of a paradox. Their "rubber"
coated bullets even penetrate skulls. Their tear gas is poisonous. On
Jan 1st 2001, the first day of this year a woman Jawaher Abu Rahma was
killed by the effects of the poisonous tear gas.
And
get dragged away. Every week in the west bank numerous Palestinians as
well as (international) solidarity activists who perform a non-violent
protest are being attacked in disproportional ways. Detained and often
without a trial emprisoned. This one dragged on the street. But in many
places in Palestine, especially Silwan (Jerusalem) even little children
are dragged out of their beds ... at night.. by occupying forces
Or
attacked, targeted and shot. Even when it are unarmed. Protests in the
West Bank and the continuous oppression of non-violent protests against
the occupation and the apartheid wall. While the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights states: UDHR Art. 20(1): "Everyone has the right to
freedom of peaceful assembly and association." (Not in Palestine...)
International
Activists chanting protests during the Olive harvest in Palestine. Many
Internationals go to Palestine every year to accompany Palestinians get
their crops, shield against violence but too often also being targeted
themselves by (even infiltrated) soldiers in their efforts to onstruct
the harvest of their food
For
demonstrating against occupation is not allowed in Palestine and
immediately oppressed. With all means possible. Detention, tear gas,
bullets, violence, torture or even death. A protester, posing unarmed
while being hunted down by a soldier
No,
occupation does not want you to photograph their atrocities.... Imagine
the world would see what REALLY happens, what is silenced, what is
denied. You imagine it, it all happens in Palestine while you don't know
or hear about it.
These
eyes of this little child, have witnessed more violence than half the
western world together, when will you wake up? When will you stand up
against these crimes on humanity?
How
long, children have to live like a refugee. The status of refugee is
supposed to be a temporary one. Not 63 years. Palestine reality, even
today since 63 years Palestinians are "detained" in camps. Here a child
on his bike in Jabalia Refugee Camp riding along murals on a wall
How
many more Palestinian women, have to mourn the loss of their loved
ones... husbands, brothers, sisters, parents, or even their children...
Haj
Sami Sadeq is a Palestinian community activist in Aqaba village in the
Jordan Valley area of the Occupied West Bank. As head of the village
council, he secured international funds and worked with villagers to
build community structures, such as a medical centre. But, because the
new buildings were built without permits from the Israeli military, they
are at continued threat of demolition. Haj Sami Sadeq continues to face
any challenges head on, energetically campaigning for his village and
community. (Even in his wheelchair... the fight goes on for humanity)
For
Palestine... In this picture beautiful Palestinian wildlife scene in
Jenin, which has also witnessed massacre, death and destruction. Even
today and ongoing...
For the Children... the refugees, and their Right to Return. Here a child in Shati refugee Camp in Gaza
Praying
for freedom and Justice, even outside, for most Palestinians are
prohibited or even hindered from getting access to mosques especially
the entry to the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem
Most
worshippers but anyone is in any way or for any possible imaginable
reason held up at the checkpoints... In the picture a woman activist
protesting the restrictions of movement and makes a peace sign with the
hand towards soldiers
Graffiti behind barbed wire on the wall... "You must riot.. You must protest...." ... You should do as well
For
this is Apartheid. Yes and even the women protest for Occupation has
become worse, than those they hated and feared once themselves. Nazism
anno 2011.
For the Children of Palestine and a humanitarian future...
So
their children also can fly their kites in a normal environment... A
Palestinian boy flies his kite through the streets of Khan Younis in
south Gaza. Khan Younis, one of the most attacked and continuously
bombed places on earth.
To
stop the children get beaten up in stead. Violated, detained or even
emprisoned. Hundreds of Child prisoners in Israeli Jails while their
human rights are being violated and worse than that, severely are
tortured. Children....
Nakba
for 63 years now, mothers also were hoping the best for her children.
What has the world done for them in those 63 years? And what will the
world do for the children and babies of today?
Biddu,
Palestine: The shadow of a young man throwing stones at Israeli
Occupation Forces with a home-made sling during a protest in the West
Bank village of Biddu. The people of Biddu were protesting the
construction of the Apartheid Wall on their lands, and the Israeli
soldiers had occupied the village to ensure that work continued on the
Wall uninterrupted. How many more stones need to be thrown, while
occupation thows chemical weapons on Palestinians. How many more "shots"
are needed to wake up the world....?
Will
he ever see the peace and tranquility of beautiful Palestine, he once
witnessed for a short while when he was young? 63 years of apartheid and
zionism....
For the historical Palestine now seems just a ghosts of the past ....
Or
leveled what does remember people to it... until the soil and no trace
of it remains visible for the world. Like it has never been there in the
first place. Ethnical Cleansing going on every day in Palestine. The
Zionist scheme is to go on until the "Greater Israel" is achieved,
which means, from the Mediteranian Sea to the RIver Jordan. So in fact,
nothing will remain of Palestine if you don't wake up and act.... Share
the pictures, the word, the news for Palestine, the children and a
future for mankind.
