Moahmad Tamimi grew up in the village of Nabi Saleh, coming of age as the village began its weekly protests against the West Bank settlements and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. Mohammad is the second or third generation of his family to be engaged in the West Bank conflict, but he is certainly the first to make use of social media and video as major tools of the struggle. He founded Tamimi Press, a Facebook page and related feeds, that has become the major source of news for developments in Nabi Saleh.
