It was eight years ago today-ish that I ran into these jokers at an intersection in Ramallah. There was a curfew enforced by snipers. Only the Israeli Army was in the streets. Palestinian residents of the town waited for the occupation bullhorns to tell them they could come out. That wouldn’t be for another day or so. As I walked there were so many bullet casings at my feet that it sounded like I was dragging chains.
Back to the soldiers pictured here. They were blasting Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” from inside the tank and they were so damn giggly I could only assume they were passing the time with the kind of substance that makes you think Bob Marley would sound really sweet coming out of a tank.
