“A young woman stands waist deep in a large body of water, her gaze transfixed, her skirt soaked; another young woman clambers upward or perhaps down into the slippery grasp of the earth, her body caked in sheets of mud, the palms of her hands fusing with the gelatinous soil; a pair of young women soldiers bend simultaneously toward the ground, their hair entwining them together as they bow down; one woman disappears into the mouth of a tunnel that stretches darkly on from the light in which we find her, while the face of another woman emerges from the slim aperture through which light enters her kheffiyeh, itself a movable shadow. Each subject is drawn into a sympathetic or conflicting orbit with one another, drawn into a constellation of interdependency and conflict, togetherness and violent separation, light and dark. It is in the intricate array of these relationships that the complex histories of this land are given real metaphorical weight.”

"Meanwhile, as a perpetual “peace process” appears suddenly threatened by peaceful recourse to international law and international organisations, the US House of Representatives has adopted, by a unanimous voice vote, a resolution drafted by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) calling on President Obama not to recognise the state of Palestine and to veto any effort by Palestine to obtain UN membership."

Palestinians are tried as adults at 16 years old, in contrast to the age of 18 for Israeli minors. They’re being held inside prisons with the adult population.

Gaza war report was stalled by Palestinian Authority on US request | The Guardian 

Predictable but nevertheless dismaying evidence of the extent to which the Palestinian Authority can be co-opted to serve in the geo-political interests of the Israeli and US governments, as opposed to those of its own citizens.
