WEST BANK. Nabi Saleh. 2013. Bassem Tamimi visits the grave of Mustafa Tamimi, a resident killed in a protest in December 2011. Bassem had been released from jail several hours before after spending four months incarcerated following his arrest at a protest. Bassem has long resisted the Israeli occupation and has spent years in jail, often without being charged. After his release Bassem was greeted by dozens of people from the village who joined him for a huge feast at his home. Residents of Nabi Saleh have been protesting the Israeli Occupation every Friday after midday prayers since 2009. The protests started after Israelis from the nearby settlement of Halimish took over a small spring that had been on Palestinian land. After widening and adding a bench to the spring, the settlers refused to allow the Palestinians to continue using it. The weekly protests quickly devolve into rock throwing by the Palestinians and tear gas, rubber bullets, and 'skunk' (a spray mixed with water that has a horrific stench that can linger for weeks) in response by the Israelis.
