Fulla Masalma would have turned 16 today. Instead, she was brutally murdered yesterday by Israeli soldiers for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The racial profiling is rampant before your eyes. I sauntered through Damascus Gate at midnight. The young Palestinian just behind me got stopped by soldiers demanding his i.d. card.

Leave and don’t come back.”
Last week, the Israeli army’s ongoing military campaign against armed Palestinian resistance groups shifted its focus from the Old City of Nablus (after claiming to have quelled the Lions’ Den resistance group there) to Balata refugee camp.
