Linah Alsaafin voices youth frustration with the double bind of Israeli occupation and defunct Palestinian leadership.
Six-year-old Salam Tamimi has seen a lot in his few years. He is the youngest child of Nariman and Bassem Tamimi, leaders of the grassroots ‘popular resistance committee’ in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh.
The villagers here have held weekly demonstrations since an Israeli settlement seized control of their water source in 2009. Nabi Saleh is now famous for its defiance of the occupation, and bears the brunt of a brutal campaign by the Israeli military.
