By Gideon Levy

Dec. 30

After a night of rain, the sun broke through the clouds. Two brothers and their brother-in-law decided to go for a hike in the wild, through the spectacular valley of olive trees, west of Ramallah in the West Bank.

The three young Palestinians stood on the … Continue reading

Several other such cameras have been installed in the neighbourhood recently, but in each case … Continue reading
