Biography
She lives in the village of Nabi Saleh in the West Bank , and belongs to the Banu Tamim tribe . Her mother, Nawal Tamim, is the Director of Women's Affairs at the Palestinian Ministry of Development. Jihad has regularly participated in demonstrations against the Israeli military. She began filming events related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, such as demonstrations in her village, when she was seven years old, and publishes them in Arabic and English, across several social media platforms, including Instagram , Snapchat , YouTube , and Facebook . She had over 270,000 followers on Facebook as of January 2018. Jihad has said that her goal is to convey to the world what she sees as the suffering of the Palestinian people, which she believes media companies do not convey. Jana was affected by the killing of her cousin and uncle by the Israeli military . She was inspired by her uncle Bilal Tamimi, a photographer who documents violence by Israeli soldiers in the village of Nabi Saleh. In March 2017, Jihad won the International Peace Prize in Istanbul , Turkey. She appeared in the documentary “Preparing for Resistance” when she was nine years old. She went to South Africa with the sponsorship of the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation to raise awareness about the violence in the West Bank as part of the “Pals4Peace” tour with the South African “Shamsan Children” campaign in support of Palestine.
Criticized by supporters of Israel as being used to spread anti-Israel propaganda internationally, a secret report by the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs called it a "security risk."
Jihad considers herself to be living in the third intifada, and has expressed her support for peaceful resistance against what she sees as Israel's brutal practices.
