 The Barrier. Bethlehem. July 2011
Weekly demonstration against The Barrier in Bil’in. Palestinians, internationals and Israelis participate in this demonstration every Friday. The Barrier (a fence) is seen in the background. The Israeli army uses tear gas and skunk to disperse the demonstrators. February 2010
Bedouin boy watching the building of the Carmel settlement on land that his community claims ownership over. South Hebron Hills. April 2010
Since 2001, Israel through its military and settlers in the West Bank and Gaza, has uprooted, burnt and destroyed more than 548,000 olive trees that belong to Palestinians. The uprooting of the ancient olive trees, as a byproduct of war, has had tremendous effects on the Palestinian agriculture, economy, and identity. June 2011
Silwan, East Jerusalem. Many of these buildings have a standing demolition order; the municipality wants to clear the area and build a park for recreational purposes. More than 1,000 Palestinians are at risk of losing their homes. Since the year 2000, more than 1,100 Palestinian homes have been demolished in East Jerusalem. Palestinians build illegally because it’s almost impossible for them to obtain a building permit in Jerusalem. They either have to build illegally, or move out of the city. The estimated number of outstanding demolitions is up to 20,000. March 2010
