The ceremony was organized by Palestinians to denounce what they call the "racist laws that prohibit the reunification of families." In January 2012, the Israeli Supreme Court endorsed a law banning Palestinians married to Israeli Arabs from obtaining Israeli citizenship or residing in Israel. — ABBAS MOMANI/AFP via Getty Images
