Symbol of Resistance : ‘I wanted to expose Israeli violence,’



Palestinian journalist Wisam Hashlamoun has spoken to Yeni Şafak about the powerful photo he took of a blindfolded Palestinian boy, who was arrested by 22 Israeli soldiers, which became a symbol of the Palestinian people’s third intifada that erupted following U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Journalists are working under tough conditions amid the escalating clashes in order to try to tell the world the latest developments in the occupied Palestinian territories. Among the stream of photos and news stories that demonstrate the Palestinian people’s resistance, the photo taken by Palestinian journalist Wisam Hashlamoun became the most iconic symbol of the third intifada. Intifada meaning to “shake off,” refers to the Palestinian attempt to shake off Israeli occupation and gain independence.
