There are many fine books of photographs that show life under Occupation and now a new publication, the first in a series by Palestinian artist Haitham al Khatib, is available: Haitham al Khatib is a tireless witness who uses his camera to show the world the conditions in his village of Bil'in.
Visit his site to see his work. Here is the link:
Haitham al Khatib, Witness for Palestine
Buy his book, please. Here is the link:
The Children of Bil'in
All proceeds from the sale of his book go to a charity created in his son's memory. Haitham lost his son to cancer. His efforts to help others should be supported by any one who cares about Palestine and her children!
At the time of posting this, an article about the obscene wages of the directors of the 'Save the Children' charity has been published.
Here is one such article:
Huge Wages given to Save the Children Charity Directors
Rather than giving money to a large charity that siphons off an enormous percentage of donations for the benefit of the people running it, I suggest that money be given to a cause like this. The book itself is a witness to events in Palestine and life under the Occupation. There is a Zionist settlement next to the village of Bil'iin and the illegal Wall that separates Palestinian from Palestinian is there as well. Demonstrations in opposition to the Occupation and the ongoing programme of genocide against the Palestinian people occur on a weekly basis. The people of Bil'in are engaged actively in the struggle for justice.
It is not easy to be a photographer in the line of fire. Men and women who are willing to document the abuses of the Zionist Occupation places their own lives in danger on a regular basis. We have seen how many journalists and photographers have been the targets of assassination or assassination attempts that are passed off as collateral damage throughout the Arab Nation. It is our duty to support the efforts of the brave men and women who continyue to stand against injustice and Occupation.
