TODAY, 18 JANUARY: Thousands gather in Umm al-Khair in the South Hebron Hills for the funeral of Haj Suleiman al-Hathaleen, an elderly Palestinian activist who was run over by a police tow truck. After days in critical condition, al-Hathaleen died of his wounds earlier this week. Photo by Oren Ziv While Suleiman was peacefully resisting the confiscation of his neighbors’ cars, an Israeli police truck ran over him and dragged him for ten meters while he was caught underneath it. The police, however, simply left the scene of the crime, with Suleiman lying on the ground, bleeding and critically injured. His neighbors were the ones who called the ambulance, and he was transferred to a hospital in Hebron. Suleiman and his family are Palestinian Bedouins who arrived in Umm al-Khair to start a new life after they were displaced from the Naqab/Negev by Zionist forces during the Nakba in 1948. Their world changed once again after Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967, and in the 1980s, the settlement of Carmel was built directly on his village’s lands. There are less than ten meters between Suleiman’s home and the houses of the Jewish settlers; a barbed wire fence separates a life with all the luxuries of the 21st century from a life that lacks the most basic necessities.

Allah yer7amo. May he rest in power.

here’s the full video

“The Wampanoag Nation once included all of Southeastern Massachusetts and Eastern Rhode Island, encompassing over 67 distinct tribal communities…With the European settlers came much adversity for our tribe - disease that virtually wiped out whole villages, systems of government that bore little resemblance to our tribal practices and values, missionaries intent on converting us to Christianity, and private models of land use and ownership that conflicted with our tribe’s own communal practices and values. The vast majority of these tribal communities were killed in battles initiated by colonists to secure land. Today, only six visible tribal communities remain.” (Wampanoag history)
