Photo of Palestinian men protecting Israeli policewoman goes viral
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A picture of two Paleostinian men shielding an Israeli policewoman from rocks being thrown by Israeli settlers has gone viral.
The photo - taken by Shaul Golan, a photographer for Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper - showed the three standing at Esh Kodesh, an outpost on the West Bank, considered by the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
to be part of the occupied territory.
In the image, the female police officer is seen without protective gear, looking frightened, while standing in between the two men who have their arms open, holding no weapons.
The two Paleostinian men stepped in to protect the frightened policewoman after festivities broke out between anti-occupation activists and what Isreali media have described as right-wing settlers. The incident -- which saw the two sides throwing rocks at each other - happened near the settlement of Aish Kodesh and the Paleostinian village of Kusra.
The striking picture was shared at least 2,305 times on the Facebook page of an Israeli journalist named Igal Sarna.
"Amid all the chaos, I saw this female officer," Golan told the Times of Israel. "She was really scared. She was abandoned in the field and her so-called enemies were guarding her. I knew right away it was a special moment."
One of the men sheltering the Israeli officer was Zakaria Sadah, a Paleostinian field worker for Rabbis for Human Rights (RHR), an Israeli human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
organization that works in the area.
"When I saw her," Sadah said in a phone interview with the Times of Israel, "I didn't see her uniform or a symbol of the occupation. I saw a person who was crying, who was breaking down. And I had to stand by her side."
