ISM activists have to follow IDF soldiers around to make sure that they do not shoot at children -

"Though we faxed all of the media outlets in Jerusalem with this info, we have yet to see it reported, except in passing on CNN -- "teenage boy killed in a refugee camp in Nablus." What doesn't cease to amaze me is how journalists can ignore something like the systematic opening of live fire and using tanks against unarmed civilians and children. Our activists in Jenin are having to follow soldiers around daily and stand in between them and Palestinian children -- to keep the soldiers from firing on children. We don't have enough activists here to be everywhere, but where is the international community and the humanity of the world?" --- Huwaida
