Karim Kattan: it doesn’t matter that she is fierce (but she is), or that everything she’s ever done has been hypnotic (to say the least); it doesn’t matter that she is braver than any of us (but she most definitely is), or that every single picture I’ve seen of Ahed Tamimi standing straight, hair flowing, utterly unbound, in front of armoured Israeli soldiers over the years, as a tiny girl, as a tween, as a striking teenager, has made me feel a mixture of shame over my own submissions, and pride, awe for her; it doesn’t matter how cathartic her slapping a soldier was; all of it doesn’t matter right now, what matters is that this child was arrested at dawn in Nabi Saleh by the Israeli army – as many many children are – to break her and her family because she is a reminder of what they hate and what they’re not used to seeing: the beauty of freedom.
