Do Unto Others focuses on Israel/Palestine, the Middle East, and (nonviolent) social movements. I'm a graduate student in International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame currently living in Cape Town, South Africa.

Probably different than your weekends

This goes on all across the West Bank every Friday.

Protest against the occupation, Nabi Saleh, West Bank, 7.12.2012

Israeli forces use massive amounts of (usually) non-lethal weapons to prevent people from using or accessing their land. Villagers in Nabi Saleh, where this photo was taken, attempt to walk to a natural spring on the outskirts of their village, which has been de facto annexed and controlled by Israeli settlers. The Israeli army prohibits villagers from reaching their spring.
