by Katherine Shehadeh


Old footage of Ahed Tamimi, a Palestinian activist arrested in 2017 by Israel, has been widely shared online under the false claim that she is a Ukrainian girl standing up to a Russian soldier. Images from a 2012 incident show Tamimi, then aged 11, confronting an Israeli soldier, gesturing as if to punch him during a protest against the confiscation of Palestinian land by Israel in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh (AFP photo) —Middle East Eye, February 28, 2022
