The police are the ‘bad guys’ in occupied Palestine

In the Arab world, one often hears the expression “police are in the service of the people.” Although the idiom is very popular, it is usually spoken in a sarcastic way as a political joke.

People who have little power over their lives use the phrase to mock the conduct of their notorious police forces. These forces, after all, have a habit of terrorising people and spreading fear. In Occupied Palestine, however, the expression is perceived quite differently, because the Israeli police there have nothing whatever to do with serving people. It can't even be a joking matter.

Rebel against torture killed by Israel

Lafi Awad was not yet 10 when he began taking part in protests.

The protests erupted in 2004 as it became plain that the wall Israel was building in the West Bank would divide his home village of Budrus. His family were among the Palestinians whose olive trees were earmarked for destruction as Israel confiscated much of the village’s land.

Lafi belonged to a generation that was politicized by Israel’s wall. He felt an urgent need to take action against the dispossession it was causing.

He resisted the Israeli occupation by throwing stones. His determination to keep resisting cost him his life.

“When he first asked to join us in the clashes with the Israeli soldiers, we did not take him seriously,” said Ahmad Awad, Lafi’s best friend and three years his senior. “I told him that he was too young and small to protest. But he insisted and we were all taken aback with his courage. He was fearless beyond his age.”

The confrontations with the Israeli forces in Budrus could often be fierce. Heavily armed Israeli soldiers were known to fire directly at local youths. In 2013, Samir Awad, another good friend of Lafi, was killed during one of the confrontations.
