I just came back from a week in Palestine and will attempt to make a small report about this new visit in five parts these coming days. The most urgent one is most certainly the one dedicated the current situation in Jerusalem’s Old City, where the Israeli police currently exercise an additional layer of Apartheid violence on Palestinian devotes, visitors, residents, and protesters. In the morning of July 14, three Palestinians killed two Israeli police officers controlling access to Al Haram (the Mosques Esplanade) in the Old City, in East Jerusalem before being killed themselves. In reaction, the Israeli police shut down the old city, authorizing only residents and Israeli settlers to enter the Holy city at first, then a couple days later, pilgrims and other non-Palestinian visitors — the photographs presented below were taken on July 17. Since then, the Israeli police have reopen the access to the Old City, as well as to Al Haram, but conditioned it on Friday to the sole entrance of Palestinians aged above 50 years, as well as to an obligatory passage through metal detectors, adding a layer of control to a territory already saturated by Apartheid apparatuses. Large prayers right outside the Old City were organized, as well as protests whose violent suppression lead to the death of six young Palestinian men these last two days. On Friday, a video could be seen of Palestinian protesters attempting with difficulties to evacuate the dead body of Mohammed Abu Ranam to prevent the Israeli police that had just killed him to capture it in order to significantly delay its funerals as they usually do.
