BETHLEHEM, WEST BANK PALESTINE- 2014/07/08- Soldiers stand in front of the security barrier and watch tower, watching and waiting for Palestinian youth to throw rocks. The graffiti scrawled behind them, the BDS movement- boycott, divestment and sanctioning Israeli, make for an ironic juxtaposition. For the seventh night in a row intense clashes broke out in Bethlehem near Rachel's Tomb, also known as Checkpoint 300. The military guard tower is often the target of Molotov cocktails and stones being thrown by youth. A water gun sits atop the guard tower wall and often will spray "skunk water" on

The military guard tower is often the target of Molotov cocktails and stones being thrown by youth. A water gun sits atop the guard tower wall and often will spray "skunk water" onto protestors. The checkpoint and military watch tower is a part of the massive concrete barrier that has been built by Israel. The concrete wall backs onto Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem, as well as annexing parts of Palestinian farm land on the now Israeli side. (Photo by Anna Ferensowicz/ Pacific Press)
