"“Most #Israelis don’t know much about #Palestinians. They think they are terrorists, all of them, or vague images with no names, no faces, no family, no homes, no hopes,”Baruchin said. “What I am trying to do in my posts is present Palestinians as #human beings.”
Ten days after that #Facebook message, he was fired from his #teaching job... Less than a month later he was in a high-security jail"
