Bassem Tamimi is a coordinator for the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee and leads violent protests in his local village in Samaria (the “West Bank”). The IDF has detained him 11 times and has imprisoned him twice as a result of his violence. Tamimi uses rock-throwing in his “non-violent protests” (as he claims) and endorses putting children in harm’s way. Furthermore, he advocates for the separation of Jews and Arabs instead of peaceful coexistence.
