A few pictures...

So, here are a few of the terrifying number of pictures I've taken over the last few weeks. The first is a nice one - kids playing sack races as Bab al-Amud (Damascus Gate) on Saturday 21st March. They were, however, being closely watched over the Israeli police, as this was the launch day for Al Quds, Capital of Arab Culture, which was an event the Israeli authorities were less than keen to support.
Second is, quite simply, Netanyahu exactly where he belongs.
And the third is a little girl holding a singed page from the Quran, standing in front of a burnt-out room in her house. She has the misfortune to be growing up in Hebron and the roof of her home is accessible by settlers, who torched this room, killing her 3 year old brother. The house is now meant to be protected by a metal grille in the top of the stairwell, but the settlers have recently thrown a boulder through it - we saw the shattered pieces on the stairs, and by good if someone had been hit they would have been done for. And now, of course, the can start throwing shit (literally) down into the family's home.
