On every wall and every corner of the alley, into Palestinian towns and villages in the eye falls on colorful posters of the faces always different. Young and old, women and children, portraits of faces look serene in the streets. There are posters of martyrs, of shahid. The photo of the victim, his name and two lines on the incident.
Shahid has in fact a broader meaning, so become shahid, or martyr, fell every Palestinian, killed by the Israeli army. Some may think too much in bad taste and commemorate their dead papering the walls left and right their faces. To me that seems exaggerated is not so much the number of posters and the number of deaths.
