Palestinians continue protests against Israeli violence
By Mohammed Asad
Palestinians continued protests against violence by Israeli soldiers and armed Israeli settlers at the border with Israel at the Gaza Strip on Friday October 23, 2015.
Reports continued of Palestinians being wrongfully assaulted by Israeli soldiers and armed Israeli settlers throughout the Occupied West Bank and Occupied Jerusalem.
Here are photos of the continued protests against the Israeli occupation. Palestinians are responding to incitement from Israeli government officials who have called for the killing of Palestinians and who have said they oppose recognition of Palestine and the creation of a Palestinian State.
Israeli incitement reached new heights when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insulted Islam and accused a 1930s Islamic Activist leader Hajj Amin al-Husseini of conceiving of the Holocaust and giving the idea to Nazi leader Adolph Hitler. The blood libeled has been roundly denounced as an example of Netanyahu’s trvializing of the Nazi-led massacre of 6 million Jews and more than 12 million other peoples during World War II including Poles, Russians and Gypsies.
photographer Mohammed Asad's photo of Dalia Khalifa won an award in March 2015 at a competition organised by the UN.
'Unbreakable' - is the photo of 9yr old Dalia Khalifa, taken at Al-Shifa Hospital on Aug 9th, 2014. Dalia was badly injured in an Israeli air strike during Operation 'Protective Edge'.
'Unbreakable' is the Grand Jury Winner in the photography competition, organised by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Middle East and North Africa (UN OCHA).
