Qalandia checkpoint divides Ramallah from Jerusalem. It is a point of regular humiliation for Palestinians.
On Friday 13th May, a protest started gathering at the Checkpoint and the Israeli Army tried to disperse it with tear gas.
People didn't leave, though, and skirmishes carried on throughout the day.
At least five Palestinians were seriously injured.
Walking back from the conference today I happened upon this protest. I was keen to find out a bit of background - google to the rescue!

This group was protesting the treatment by China of practitioners of Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline. They maintain that members of Falun Gong are routinely imprisoned and, in many cases, their organs have been harvested for transplant. They were gathering signatures in front of the Fredericton, New Brunswick city hall in hopes that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would deliver those signatures to Chinese officials when he makes his upcoming visit to the PRC.
A protest message written on an idyllic landscape. Anyone like to take a stab at translating it? The scenery on the right of shot looks suspiciously like the heather and glens of Scotland. I don't think China has anything remotely resembling this.
Beijing, China. Medium format.
Hard times in Israel
Homophobia, racism, hatred.
We went last night to show some love.
We hope to be good.

Protest in Lake Worth, Florida, November 2008, against the ban of gay marriage. The swastika was apparently an ironic statement equating the supporters of the amendment with Nazism, rather than an indication the protestor himself was a Nazi. Still, Godwin's Law probably applies.
Speaking to there crowd.
Greater Manchester Police has been dealing with large scale protests, as pro-Palestinian and Israeli demonstrators took to the streets of Manchester city centre.
The demonstrations have taken place in response to events taking place in Gaza and understandably, the situation in Gaza has provoked strong emotions among communities here in Greater Manchester. This has resulted in almost daily protests, with hundreds of people taking part in the demonstrations.
North Manchester Division’s Chief Superintendent Nick Adderley has been a regular face in the city centre during the protests. He said: “The protests have caused disruption to a number of shops and businesses along Market Street and King Street but finding the balance between facilitating lawful protest and the rights of business to trade, is never going to be easy.
"Through the hard work of officers, staff and our partners, we have managed to provide reassurance, as well as a firm commitment, that we will endeavour to strike the right balance, ensuring that the law and the human rights act are observed.
“The greatest challenge faced by officers, when dealing with such protests, is the expectations of the public placed upon them to ‘sort the problem’. This protest is no different and I have seen first-hand the pressure placed upon officers to move to one side or the other.
“The professionalism I have personally observed from our staff is of the highest calibre and is the envy of the world. GMP can proudly boast of its successful record in dealing with protests yet I never see any hint of complacency.
“When required officers have been firm and direct, yet polite, courteous and extremely patient. They have engaged with protestors from both sides and helped them to understand the role of the police. I need to specifically mention our Protest Liaison Officers who are right in the thick of the protestors, brokering deals and working with them to set clear expectations of the do’s and don’ts. It takes a certain kind of officer to undertake this role and I have observed the most incredible levels of tenacity, professionalism and integrity from each of them, each and every time I have been at the protest sites.
“As with most protests, the vast majority of people who we deal with are decent, hardworking and simply want to exercise their democratic right to protest, but as we can appreciate the current conflict in the Middle East is highly sensitive and emotive, leading to the odd few stepping over the line and committing criminal offences and hate incidents. Our officers have dealt with these incidents proportionately and fairly, maintaining the legitimacy and integrity of the policing operation.
“What is always pleasing to see is the attempts our officers make to build an appropriate rapport and relationship with the protestors and to adopt an approach of co-operation rather than using ‘coercive power’. It is these observations that make me extremely proud to be GMP officer and to have the privilege of standing shoulder to shoulder with our officers, even in the pouring rain.”

I don't know if you can use this photo or not - but just in case - here
goes. This is a photo of Kim Gandy (NOW president), her daughter, me
(representing my Ms. Curves America title) and my daughter (Heaven
Chamberlain) at the Labor Day 2004 protest of Wal-Mart's unfair labor
practices. This is at the Wal-Mart in Dobbin Center, Columbia,
Maryland.
Hope it helps! Good luck with the completion of the movie!

Hundreds of protestors marched through Melbourne's CBD on August 24, 2013 to protest against harsh new Australian government and opposition policies on refugees and asylum seekers.
The protest is directed against excessive lockdown measures. One fears the transition to a totalitarian society. Forced apps, implanted chips, 5G control technology.

Photos taken during the protests that erupted when the National Socialist Movement (Neo-Nazis) marched to the Phoenix Federal building. The NSM was there to protest a federal judge's decision to 'water down' the SB1070 immigration legislation. I've never seen a more disgusting group of people assembled in one place, but it was their right to have their march and to say what they wanted to say. Fortunately the Phoenix Police Department was there to keep things under control. Pepper spray was used but that was only when the anarchists got too close. Quite a day I can tell you.
