Palestinian Activists Demolish Part of Israeli Apartheid Wall Near Ramallah
On Friday 17th May, a group of young Palestinians and activists from the popular resistance movements demolished part of the Israeli apartheid wall in Abu Deis village near Ramallah.
One of the activists told PNN that dozens of Palestinians protested near the Israeli apartheid wall that was constructed between the Abu Deis and Al-Eizariya villages and that a number of youngsters demolished part of the wall.
He said that Israeli forces arrived to the area and started firing metal-coated bullets and tear gas canisters toward the protesters.
Several Palestinians were arrested while others were able to enter into Jerusalem while holding Palestinian flags, he added.
A 17-year-old Palestinian was injured with a rubber bullet in his head during clashes erupted in Abu Deis village.
Eyewitness said that the injured boy was transferred to Al-Maqased Hospital in the same village for treatment. His injuries were described as serious and severe after being shot by the IOF, according to medical sources.

“ Along with all of the other rising inequalities we’ve become so familiar with — in income, in wealth, in access to politicians — we confront now a fundamental inequality of accountability. We can have a just society whose guiding ethos is accountability and punishment, where both black kids dealing weed in Harlem and investment bankers peddling fraudulent securities on Wall Street are forced to pay for their crimes, or we can have a just society whose guiding ethos is forgiveness and second chances, one in which both Wall Street banks and foreclosed households are bailed out, in which both inside traders and street felons are allowed to rejoin polite society with the full privileges of citizenship intact. But we cannot have a just society that applies the principle of accountability to the powerless and the principle of forgiveness to the powerful. This is the America in which we currently reside. ”

i immediately rolled my eyes, two or three times.
i swear NO famous black person can come out the closet as queer identified…
