(When photos speak louder than words)
By Morten Ekeland
In Palestine
Sometimes, especially when the impressions have been strong, I think it’s easier to not write in my mother tongue. I kind of get a greater distance which feels a bit safer. Today we’ve witnessed how the colonial state of Israel confiscate land and increase the size of one of their colonies, and we have seen with our own eyes how the inhabitants of the small town, An Bani Saleh, struggles because of the colony. I hope these images and photos can give you some kind of understanding of the story which I don’t have the words to tell.
It’s been really hard to take all of these photos while felling anger and despair at the same time. I would like to say thanks to all of my friends who have given me their permission to publish these photos. Thanks.
The fight continues. Justice for Palestine. Hope always.
