A protest vigil with the evicted families of Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem, 10/08/09
Demonstrators hold a sign as Israeli and foreign peace activists join Palestinians in a candlelight vigil in the east Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah on August 10, 2009 to protest against the eviction of two Palestinian families from their homes. Israeli riot police evicted the Hanun and Ghawi families on August 2, defying international protests over Jewish settlement activity in the area.

Also, an interesting story about Netanyahu protesting not only about the testimonies of IDF soldiers who belong to Breaking the Silence, but to the whole organisation itself: Netanyahu's attempts to silence breaking the silence. The report is from the Jewish Voice for Peace.
