A gripping eyewitness account of the Palestinian plightLarry Towell one of the finest photojournalists working today made seven trips to Palestine between 1993 and 1997 and documented the ArabIsraeli conflict in a powerful series of pictures Immediate and full of raw feeling his images bring the viewer into the active center of a bitter struggle The photographs reveal the tragedy of a society subsumed in violence a fist clenched around a rock thrusts through the frame a soldier jerks a small child off the ground by the wrist a mother covers her face with a photograph of her gunwielding dead sonI join the foray and run as close as I can Openfire regulations sanction shoottokill We run through the alleys We hear them behind us The footsteps are catching up We hear the weight of guns boots and the grunting that stops dead as we turn the corner and take chairs in the assembly of mournersA sniper fifteen meters to my left crouches into position with a highpowered rifle fixed on me playing a nervewracking game Others point at the motionless old men who continue to ignore them grieving the death of their boys Their fighters Eventually the soldiers tire of the amusement and leavefrom Larry Towells journals
