This young girl was with her father and several other demonstrators at the entrance to the West Bank town of Azzun on 21 February. The people were protesting the constant erection of barricades and road blocks on many roads in the West Bank. Although these barriers are considered illegal by both international and Israeli law, they are commonplace. The road block just in front of the girl looks something like this (photo taken from UNRWA).
Such blockades really bother me as it unnecessarily restricts the movement of Palestinians in their own land. There is no strategic purpose to do such things other then simply screwing the people around.
