Jenin, Jenin

Today I visited Jenin, a city in the north of the West Bank that has been a centre for Islamic Jihad, resistance, and regular invasions by the Israelis. I met a number of militants and toured the refugee camp where they live. I was given some harrowing stories of torture and collective punishment. Rather than the evil, Rambo-like fighters of the media stereotype they were, to a man, broken, young, and desperately trying to piece their lives back together.

Here is one of the many checkpoints you cross to get into Jenin. It was stinking hot, around 40 plus degrees, and I couldn't open the window next to my seat in the service taxi.

A horse designed by a European artist with the help of local artists. It's made out of an ambulance that was carrying a doctor from Jenin, Khalil Suleyman. During the 2002 Israeli invasion (in which hundreds of Palestinians were killed), Suleyman implored the Israelis to allow him in. He said he would treat anyone he saw inside, Israeli or Palestinian. His Ambulance was later found badly destroyed by ordinance. The horse is entirely made of the remains of the ambulance. A stensil of a martyr.
