Kids remain in soldiers’ crosshairs in Hebron
Kids have always had trouble getting to school in Hebron, whether it’s due to irratable settlers not liking having to share their own private “Greater Israel” or soldiers whose job it is to generally keep life unbearable for the occupied locals. The BBC has a powerful collection of photos about what kids and teachers face as they try to get to school.
Palestinian teachers have been holding classes in the road outside an Israeli checkpoint in the West Bank city of Hebron in protest at intrusive searches of children going to school.
Here, a couple of soldiers attempt to call recess.

Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism — how passionately I hate them!
