Even when you knew a bit, it's shocking. Imagine being a Palestinian child in Jerusalem surrounded by soldiers, settlers, racism and fear. Imagine being a parent worrying if your child is late home. Is there ONE PERSON in Palestine who doesn't know someone wounded or imprisoned by the Israeli army? Is there one person who doesn't know someone who has been KILLED?
Hiyam told us of the pressures there are on every side on Palestinians in Jerusalem - and she told us too of the many people with no ID, the difficulties of marriage between people with different coloured IDS, the difficulties of movement for thousands....The conversation moved to international law and why it cannot protect the Palestinians...And Trump's favouring the Israeli claims... does this change anything or just show the issues more clearly?
