Today in 1994, Jewish extremist settler Baruch Goldstein massacred 29
Palestinians as they prayed inside Hebron's Ibrahimi Mosque. In
response, the Israeli military shut down the city's main commercial
street for Palestinians, Shuhada Street. 22 years later, Shuhada Street
remains closed and freedom of movement in Hebron is more restricted than
ever for its Palestinian residents. Issa Amro and his organization,
Youth Against Settlements, have launched the #OpenShuhadaSt campaign to
bring attention to what is happening in Hebron.
