Armenios en Jerusalén recuerdan a las victimas del Genocidio.

La comunidad armenia en Jerusalén conmemoró el Día del Recuerdo del millón y medio de víctimas del genocidio a manos de los turcos entre los años 1915 y 1923. Con una misa en la iglesia de St. James, en el barrio armenio de la Ciudad Vieja, y un acto recordatorio en el Seminario para curas la comunidad comenzó los actos de recuerdo que incluyeron una marcha por las callejuelas de la Ciudad Vieja y una manifestación frente al consulado de Turquía en Jerusalén Oriental. Bajo la consigna "paren de negar, reconozcan el genocidio del pueblo armenio" la comunidad exigió el reconocimiento del genocidio.

Los enemigos de Israel - The enemies of Israel

Today as I was waiting to cover a demo against Obama's visit in the checkpoint to Shuada St. when I saw a "big operation" to release around 15 children who were arrested early in the morning on the way to the school. According to reports around 25 children were detained in the school.

"I Have a dream"

Protesters wearing t-shirts with “I Have A Dream” arrested for walking on Shuhada Street in Hebron.

Twenty-five Palestinian, Israeli and international protesters walked down Shuhada Street in Hebron, which is closed to all Palestinian movement. Six protesters were arrested and the others violently dispersed by the Israeli army.

Demonstraitors wore face masks of Martin Luther King Jr. and President Barak Obama, with t-shirts stating “I Have A Dream” to call for an end to segregation and the occupation.

The protest was our response to Obama’s visit and to remind him that without the struggle for equality in the U.S., the dream of having a black president would not have been realized.
