A new Palestinian protest camp was recently set up in the outskirts of Jerusalem. It has already been demolished several times by the Israeli authorities – only to be rebuilt – and it is just the latest in a decade of non-violent protests and initiatives. Though skepticism and frustration are widespread among the Palestinian community, the non-violent resistance movement insists that this is the only solution to gain justice and freedom.
