Tear Gas 

Pictured here: An Israeli Border Police prepares to launch a tear gas canister at a group of children.  Children often throw rocks at the checkpoints and soldiers respond with tear gas and sound bombs.  The tear gas interrupts the morning walk to school for many kids.  In addition the tear gas floats into open shops and open windows of the homes that line the street.

Tear Gas Engulfs the Street

Pictured here:  The next day the Israeli Border Police shoot five tear gas canisters down the street.  The gas burns the eyes and makes breathing difficult.  Everyone out on the street must navigate these chocking clouds to get to work and school.

No Passage 

Pictured here: A young Palestinian youth pushes his bike under the barbwire at the checkpoint.  After passing his bike through, he crawled under himself.  The checkpoint turnstiles are too tight for a bike and the Israeli Border Police rarely open the gate for youth.

Palestinian Beauty
