the Fatimid period. The legend goes that the people of Egypt held lanterns to light the dark streets and greet the Caliph al-Muizz upon his arrival to Cairo during Ramadan.</p></figcaption></figure><p>Muslims around the world began the month of Ramadan — a period of prayer, charity and communion — in early June.</p>\n\n<p>For Muslims in the northern hemisphere, the holy month overlaps with the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Those who observe Ramadan abstain from consuming food and drink during the daylight hours.</p>\n\n<p>In Palestine, the fast begins with <em>fajr</em> prayer, just before 4am, and ends with the <em>maghrib</em> prayer at approximately 7:45pm.</p>\n\n<p>It is customary for worshipers to attend Friday prayers at East Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque, one of the holiest sites in Islam. But Israeli restrictions make it impossible for most Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip to pray there.</p>\n\n<p>In an act of collective punishment following a deadly shooting attack in Tel Aviv on 8 June, Israel suspended more than 83,000 permits issued for the occasion of Ramadan, the majority for family visits in Israel, <a href=\"https://www.ochaopt.org/content/protection-civilians-weekly-report-7-13-june-2016\">according to</a> the United Nations monitoring group OCHA.</p>\n\n<p>On the first Friday of Ramadan, 10 June, Israel limited entrance to Jerusalem to 30,000 Palestinians holding West Bank IDs.</p>\n\n<p>Ramadan sees the city transformed by light displays, street vendors and fireworks — if only temporarily. Israeli restrictions, however, have left the Palestinian community in East Jerusalem increasingly isolated and prevented tens of thousands of Palestinians from enjoying the evening’s events.</p>\n\n<p><em>Silvia Boarini is a photojournalist based in Bir al-Saba and is currently working on a <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/unrecognizedinthenegev\">documentary about Naqab Bedouins</a>.</em></p>\n\n<figure id=\"file-38871--6\" class=\"media media-element-container media-figure_wide file file-image file-image-jpeg\"><picture><!--[if IE 9]><video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source srcset=\"https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_1800w/public/2016-06/12_silviaboarini_48-145.jpg?itok=oSktyOLi&timestamp=1466534315 1.5x, https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_1200w/public/2016-06/12_silviaboarini_48-145.jpg?itok=O0n68uef&timestamp=1466534315 1x, https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_2400w/public/2016-06/12_silviaboarini_48-145.jpg?itok=-UdtFU0Z&timestamp=1466534315 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 72rem)\"></source><!--[if IE 9]></video><![endif]--><img src=\"https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_800w/public/2016-06/12_silviaboarini_48-145.jpg?itok=dtYkrd8n&amp%3Btimestamp=1466534315\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" /></picture><figcaption class=\"group-caption field-group-html-element\"><p>Colorful Ramadan lights adorn the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem’s Old City.

The traditional Ramadan lantern, seen here in Jerusalem, is believed to have originated in Egypt during the Fatimid period. The legend goes that the people of Egypt held lanterns to light the dark streets and greet the Caliph al-Muizz upon his arrival to Cairo during Ramadan.Muslims around the world began the month of Ramadan — a period of prayer, charity and communion — in early June.

For Muslims in the northern hemisphere, the holy month overlaps with the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Those who observe Ramadan abstain from consuming food and drink during the daylight hours.

In Palestine, the fast begins with fajr prayer, just before 4am, and ends with the maghrib prayer at approximately 7:45pm.

It is customary for worshipers to attend Friday prayers at East Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque, one of the holiest sites in Islam. But Israeli restrictions make it impossible for most Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip to pray there.

In an act of collective punishment following a deadly shooting attack in Tel Aviv on 8 June, Israel suspended more than 83,000 permits issued for the occasion of Ramadan, the majority for family visits in Israel, according to the United Nations monitoring group OCHA.

On the first Friday of Ramadan, 10 June, Israel limited entrance to Jerusalem to 30,000 Palestinians holding West Bank IDs.

Ramadan sees the city transformed by light displays, street vendors and fireworks — if only temporarily. Israeli restrictions, however, have left the Palestinian community in East Jerusalem increasingly isolated and prevented tens of thousands of Palestinians from enjoying the evening’s events.

Colorful Ramadan lights adorn the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem’s Old City. It is tradition that each neighborhood in the Old City’s Muslim quarter compete for most impressive light display during Ramadan.Um Samer and her daughters have successfully crossed Qalandiya, an Israeli military checkpoint where soldiers prevent free movement between Ramallah and Jerusalem. They have traveled from Nablus, in the northern West Bank, to pray at al-Aqsa. “Ramadan is the time when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet [Muhammad], peace be upon him. It’s a very special time, my favorite time. Making this journey to al-Aqsa for us is central to our experience; it’s a way to be closer to God,” Um Samer said.Raed Hamdan, leader of the Qalandiya camp scouts, helps worshipers negotiate the checkpoint, offering assistance to the elderly and people with disabilities. “Ramadan makes us a little bit closer to God, makes us forget our troubles and concentrate on God. Also it makes us closer to the poor. When we fast we feel with them when they don’t have enough to eat. … My mother is Christian, my father is Muslim, we were brought up Muslim but there is no difference here, no problem, it’s normal in Palestine.”Worshipers make their way past Israeli forces, deployed in large numbers, in the Old City of Jerusalem.At al-Asal Sweets in the Old City of Jerusalem, the staff foresees a quiet Ramadan with fewer Palestinians from the West Bank making the pilgrimage to the city for Friday prayers.A street vendor in the Old City sells falafel mahshi, a Ramadan specialty made with ground chickpeas and stuffed with onions, sumac and other spices, then fried and sprinkled with sesame seeds.After Friday prayers, the Old City’s narrow streets are packed with the faithful making their way out of Jerusalem. Palestinians who crossed into Jerusalem from elsewhere in the West Bank are required to travel back shortly after prayers.Following Friday prayers, worshipers pour out of the Old City gates to catch their buses to various destinations across the West Bank.Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) paramedic Nader Murrar said that turnout at the Qalandiya checkpoint was low on the first Friday of Ramadan for fear of reprisals following the shootings in Tel Aviv. “People are staying home. They feel threatened, they don’t know what to expect,” he said. Asked what Ramadan means to him as a Muslim, he answered, “It’s our holy month; if we fast, pray and follow the Quran, we will gain forgiveness for our sins. It’s also a time to be close to our families, to spend time together, break the fast together, visit our relatives and care about each other.”A worker takes a nap on a shop’s display while Israeli forces patrol the streets in Jerusalem’s Old City.A lonely pedestrian in the narrow alleyways of the Old City as families break their fast after sundown.Shopkeepers cover their displays while they take leave to break the fast.The streets of East Jerusalem are quiet and empty as families break the fast.In previous years the Damascus Gate to the Old City has been the heart of East Jerusalem’s nightlife during Ramadan, filled with street vendors selling pancakes, grilled meat sandwiches and sweets. This year the Israeli-controlled municipality did not grant permits to vendors allowing them to sell their wares at Damascus Gate, the site of several attacks and alleged attacks in recent months, as well as protests, and now the steps stand empty.Lights reading “God is greatest” brighten the Muslim quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City.

|
| 112 |
-
|
| 113 |
-
<p>The massacre of displaced people in Rafah’s tents on Sunday evening proved that the assurance was completely dishonest.</p>
|
| 114 |
-
|
| 115 |
-
<p>“Why did Israel turn Rafah into a hell zone?” Rizq asked.</p>
|
| 116 |
-
|
| 117 |
-
<p>Rizq was one of the many who had taken shelter in Tal al-Sultan, the part of Rafah where the massacre occurred.</p>
|
| 118 |
-
|
| 119 |
-
<p>After that horrific incident – in which at least 45 people were <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-clare-murphy/israeli-strike-rafah-kills-dozens-displaced-palestinians">killed</a> – Rizq and his family fear that Israel will commit further crimes of a similar or even worse nature.</p>
|
| 120 |
-
|
| 121 |
-
<p>“I have no idea what the [Israeli] army might do in the future,” he said. “There is no safe place.”</p>
|
| 122 |
-
|
| 123 |
-
<p>Rizq’s sister and her family narrowly escaped the massacre.</p>
|
| 124 |
-
|
| 125 |
-
<p>“God saved her from death,” Rizq said. “She is still in shock.”</p>
|
| 126 |
-
|
| 127 |
-
<p>Since Israel began a ground invasion in Rafah a few weeks earlier, “I have felt like I will lose my mind,” Rizq added.</p>
|
| 128 |
-
|
| 129 |
-
<p>“The solution is for this war to stop,” he added. “The situation is extremely dangerous in Rafah.”</p>
|
| 130 |
-
|
| 131 |
-
<p>Reem al-Sayed – also from Gaza City – had taken shelter in al-Mawasi Rafah, an area close to Tal al-Sultan.</p>
|
| 132 |
-
|
| 133 |
-
<p>On Sunday evening, she was trying to get some rest in her tent as she had spent many hours doing laundry. She was talking to her children and “then we heard a number of explosions – one after the other.”</p>
|
| 134 |
-
|
| 135 |
-
<p>“Everyone came out screaming” from their tents, she said. “They were looking towards the Tal al-Sultan area.”</p>
|
| 136 |
-
|
| 137 |
-
<p>“There was heavy smoke,” she added. “We heard that dozens of tents were on fire, with people inside them.”</p>
|
| 138 |
-
|
| 139 |
-
<p>“I thought that the army wanted to kill everyone in the area.”</p>
|
| 140 |
-
|
| 141 |
-
<p>Political leaders in the West expressed <a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/05/27/rafah-world-leaders-condemn-israeli-strikes_6672834_4.html">outrage</a> at the Tal al-Sultan massacre.</p>
|
| 142 |
-
|
| 143 |
-
<p>So far, however, they have not taken any concrete action against Israel – which has continued <a href="https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-flash-update-172">inflicting</a> terror on the people of Gaza.</p>
|
| 144 |
-
|
| 145 |
-
<p>Reem and her family cannot leave al-Mawasi Rafah “because we do not have the money” for other accommodation.</p>
|
| 146 |
-
|
| 147 |
-
<p>“We have been displaced four times,” she said. “Each time was very expensive.”</p>
|
| 148 |
-
|
| 149 |
-
<p>Ahmad Kassab managed to escape the Tel al-Sultan massacre.</p>
|
| 150 |
-
|
| 151 |
-
<p>He remains extremely worried about his family in Rafah.</p>
|
| 152 |
-
|
| 153 |
-
<p>Ahmad’s sister is pregnant and has decided to remain in her Rafah home, despite Israel’s invasion of the city. She was afraid that the stress of being uprooted would trigger a miscarriage.</p>
|
| 154 |
-
|
| 155 |
-
<p>“My sister calls us every day,” he said.</p>
|
| 156 |
-
|
| 157 |
-
<p>“She is always crying because Israel’s bombing is so intense. She tells us that every evening the whole place is filled with the sounds of children screaming.”</p>

following an Israeli assurance. Rafah was a safe area, according to that pledge.</p>\n\n<p>The massacre of displaced people in Rafah’s tents on Sunday evening proved that the assurance was completely dishonest.</p>\n\n<p>“Why did Israel turn Rafah into a hell zone?” Rizq asked.</p>\n\n<p>Rizq was one of the many who had taken shelter in Tal al-Sultan, the part of Rafah where the massacre occurred.</p>\n\n<p>After that horrific incident – in which at least 45 people were <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-clare-murphy/israeli-strike-rafah-kills-dozens-displaced-palestinians\">killed</a> – Rizq and his family fear that Israel will commit further crimes of a similar or even worse nature.</p>\n\n<p>“I have no idea what the [Israeli] army might do in the future,” he said. “There is no safe place.”</p>\n\n<p>Rizq’s sister and her family narrowly escaped the massacre.</p>\n\n<p>“God saved her from death,” Rizq said. “She is still in shock.”</p>\n\n<p>Since Israel began a ground invasion in Rafah a few weeks earlier, “I have felt like I will lose my mind,” Rizq added.</p>\n\n<p>“The solution is for this war to stop,” he added. “The situation is extremely dangerous in Rafah.”</p>\n\n<p>Reem al-Sayed – also from Gaza City – had taken shelter in al-Mawasi Rafah, an area close to Tal al-Sultan.</p>\n\n<p>On Sunday evening, she was trying to get some rest in her tent as she had spent many hours doing laundry. She was talking to her children and “then we heard a number of explosions – one after the other.���</p>\n\n<p>“Everyone came out screaming” from their tents, she said. “They were looking towards the Tal al-Sultan area.”</p>\n\n<p>“There was heavy smoke,” she added. “We heard that dozens of tents were on fire, with people inside them.”</p>\n\n<p>“I thought that the army wanted to kill everyone in the area.”</p>\n\n<p>Political leaders in the West expressed <a href=\"https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/05/27/rafah-world-leaders-condemn-israeli-strikes_6672834_4.html\">outrage</a> at the Tal al-Sultan massacre.</p>\n\n<p>So far, however, they have not taken any concrete action against Israel – which has continued <a href=\"https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-flash-update-172\">inflicting</a> terror on the people of Gaza.</p>\n\n<p>Reem and her family cannot leave al-Mawasi Rafah “because we do not have the money” for other accommodation.</p>\n\n<p>“We have been displaced four times,” she said. “Each time was very expensive.”</p>\n\n<p>Ahmad Kassab managed to escape the Tel al-Sultan massacre.</p>\n\n<p>He remains extremely worried about his family in Rafah.</p>\n\n<p>Ahmad’s sister is pregnant and has decided to remain in her Rafah home, despite Israel’s invasion of the city. She was afraid that the stress of being uprooted would trigger a miscarriage.</p>\n\n<p>“My sister calls us every day,” he said.</p>\n\n<p>“She is always crying because Israel’s bombing is so intense. She tells us that every evening the whole place is filled with the sounds of children screaming.”</p>\n\n<p><em>Ruwaida Amer is a journalist based in Gaza.</em></p> <h3 class=\"field-label field

People gather in Tal al-Sultan after the massacre committed by Israel.

APA imagesRizq Dababesh had left Gaza City and moved southwards to Rafah following an Israeli assurance. Rafah was a safe area, according to that pledge.
|
| 4 |
-
|
| 5 |
-
The massacre of displaced people in Rafah’s tents on Sunday evening proved that the assurance was completely dishonest.
|
| 6 |
-
|
| 7 |
-
“Why did Israel turn Rafah into a hell zone?” Rizq asked.
|
| 8 |
-
|
| 9 |
-
Rizq was one of the many who had taken shelter in Tal al-Sultan, the part of Rafah where the massacre occurred.
|
| 10 |
-
|
| 11 |
-
After that horrific incident – in which at least 45 people were killed – Rizq and his family fear that Israel will commit further crimes of a similar or even worse nature.
|
| 12 |
-
|
| 13 |
-
“I have no idea what the [Israeli] army might do in the future,” he said. “There is no safe place.”
|
| 14 |
-
|
| 15 |
-
Rizq’s sister and her family narrowly escaped the massacre.
|
| 16 |
-
|
| 17 |
-
“God saved her from death,” Rizq said. “She is still in shock.”
|
| 18 |
-
|
| 19 |
-
Since Israel began a ground invasion in Rafah a few weeks earlier, “I have felt like I will lose my mind,” Rizq added.
|
| 20 |
-
|
| 21 |
-
“The solution is for this war to stop,” he added. “The situation is extremely dangerous in Rafah.”

Reem al-Sayed – also from Gaza City – had taken shelter in al-Mawasi Rafah, an area close to Tal al-Sultan.
|
| 24 |
-
|
| 25 |
-
On Sunday evening, she was trying to get some rest in her tent as she had spent many hours doing laundry. She was talking to her children and “then we heard a number of explosions – one after the other.”
|
| 26 |
-
|
| 27 |
-
“Everyone came out screaming” from their tents, she said. “They were looking towards the Tal al-Sultan area.”
|
| 28 |
-
|
| 29 |
-
“There was heavy smoke,” she added. “We heard that dozens of tents were on fire, with people inside them.”
|
| 30 |
-
|
| 31 |
-
“I thought that the army wanted to kill everyone in the area.”
|
| 32 |
-
|
| 33 |
-
Political leaders in the West expressed outrage at the Tal al-Sultan massacre.
|
| 34 |
-
|
| 35 |
-
So far, however, they have not taken any concrete action against Israel – which has continued inflicting terror on the people of Gaza.
|
| 36 |
-
|
| 37 |
-
Reem and her family cannot leave al-Mawasi Rafah “because we do not have the money” for other accommodation.
|
| 38 |
-
|
| 39 |
-
“We have been displaced four times,” she said. “Each time was very expensive.”

-
Ahmad Kassab managed to escape the Tel al-Sultan massacre.
|
| 42 |
-
|
| 43 |
-
He remains extremely worried about his family in Rafah.
|
| 44 |
-
|
| 45 |
-
Ahmad’s sister is pregnant and has decided to remain in her Rafah home, despite Israel’s invasion of the city. She was afraid that the stress of being uprooted would trigger a miscarriage.
|
| 46 |
-
|
| 47 |
-
“My sister calls us every day,” he said.
|
| 48 |
-
|

“She is always crying because Israel’s bombing is so intense. She tells us that every evening the whole place is filled with the sounds of children screaming.”

The horrors the Netanyahu government is visiting on the Palestinian people are unmasking the ugly reality Israeli liberals have tried for decades to conceal.

ActiveStillsWhat is happening in European parliaments? In the last month and a half, the UK House of Commons, the Spanish, French, Portuguese and Irish parliaments have all recognized Israel’s eternal “right” to be a racist state via a much-touted recognition of an alleged Palestinian state within the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the areas of Palestine Israel occupied in 1967.
|
| 4 |
-
|
| 5 |
-
These moves followed the lead of Sweden’s new center-left government which decided shortly after taking office to “recognize the State of Palestine” as part of the “two-state solution.”
|
| 6 |
-
|
| 7 |
-
As there is no Palestinian state to recognize within the 1967, or any other, borders, these political moves are engineered to undo the death of the two-state solution, the illusion of which had guaranteed Israel’s survival as a Jewish racist state for decades. These parliamentary resolutions in fact aim to impose a de facto arrangement that prevents Israel’s collapse and replacement with a state that grants equal rights to all its citizens and is not based on colonial and racial privileges.
|
| 8 |
-
|
| 9 |
-
Unlike Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who believes he can force the world to recognize a greater racist Israel that annexes the territories Israel occupied in 1967 de jure, the European parliaments are insisting that they will only guarantee Israel’s survival as a racist state within Israel’s 1948 borders and on whatever extra lands within the 1967 territories the Palestinian Authority (PA) — collaborating with Israel — agrees to concede in the form of “land swaps.”
|
| 10 |
-
|
| 11 |
-
Denmark’s parliament and the European Parliament itself are the latest bodies set to consider votes guaranteeing Israel’s survival in its present form within the 1948 boundaries only. Even neutral Switzerland agreed, upon a request from the PA, to host a meeting of signatories of the Fourth Geneva Convention to discuss the 1967 Israeli occupation only. Expectedly, in addition to the Jewish settler-colony, the world’s major settler colonies — the United States, Canada, and Australia — are opposed to the meeting and will not attend.
|
| 12 |
-
|
| 13 |
-
These moves are unfolding as international support for the Palestinian-initiated boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement has begun an accelerated move to the mainstream in the US and Western Europe. Academic associations calling for support for BDS include the Association for Asian American Studies, the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association, the American Studies Association and the American Anthropological Association (which voted to defeat an anti-BDS resolution).
|
| 14 |
-
|
| 15 |
-
An exception is MESA, the Middle East Studies Association, whose members most recently voted to grant themselves the right to debate BDS, and in the process unwittingly granted the Zionists one full year to lobby and prepare to defeat a BDS resolution on which members may be asked to vote next year.
|

Even the Columbia University Center for Palestine Studies — which had insistently refused in April 2011 to host and sponsor a talk and book-signing by Omar Barghouti, and instead hosted a speaker on 4 April 2013 (in a closed, invitation-only event) who attacked Barghouti in an attempt to delegitimize PACBI — reversed course recently and invited Barghouti himself to deliver a lecture this month. Barghouti is a co-founder of PACBI, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.

What do all these moves mean?

Israel’s liberal racists exposed
|
| 22 |
-
|
| 23 |
-
The context of these steps has to do with the recent conduct of the Netanyahu government whose impatience is exposing Israel’s liberal racist politicians — those who prefer a more patient approach to achieving the very same racist political goals — to embarrassment. The situation has become so untenable that ardent American liberal Zionists led by none other than Michael Walzer, emeritus professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, have felt compelled to act.
|
| 24 |
-
|
| 25 |
-
Walzer, notorious for justifying all of Israel’s conquests as “just wars,” and a group of like-minded figures calling themselves “Scholars for Israel and Palestine,” recently called on the US government to impose a travel ban on right-wing Israeli politicians who support annexation of what remains of the West Bank.
|
| 26 |
-
|
| 27 |
-
Whereas successive Israeli governments have shown an unyielding determination to strengthen Israel’s right to be a racist state over all of historic Palestine, they have done so through the ruse of the “peace process,” which they were committed to maintaining for decades to come without any resolution.
|
| 28 |
-
|
| 29 |
-
This strategy has worked very well for the last two decades with hardly a peep from the Palestinian Authority, which owes its very existence to this unending “process.” More recently, Hamas’ political leadership, especially the branch in Qatar, where the group’s leader Khaled Meshal is based, has also been looking for the best way to join this project.
|
| 30 |
-
|
| 31 |
-
But as the ongoing Netanyahu policies of visiting horrors on the Palestinian people persist across all of the territories Israel controls — policies that have exposed the “peace process” for the sham it always was as well as Israel’s claim to being “democratic” as a most fraudulent one — the international consensus that Israeli liberals have built over the decades to shield Israel’s ugly reality from the world has been weakened, if not threatened with collapse altogether.
|
| 32 |
-
|
| 33 |
-
Israeli liberals realize that what Netanyahu is doing is threatening their entire project and the very survival of Israel as a racist Jewish state. It is in this context that European parliaments are rushing to rescue Israel’s liberals by guaranteeing for them Israel’s survival in its racist form through recognizing a nonexistent Palestinian state “within the 1967 borders.”
|
| 34 |
-
|
| 35 |
-
It is also in this context that European governments in the last year or so have begun to speak of BDS as a possible weapon they could use to threaten the Netanyahu government if it continues in its refusal to “negotiate” with the Palestinians (the Europeans use of the threat of BDS is limited to a threat of boycotting only the products of Israeli colonial settlements in the occupied territories), that is, to maintain the illusion of an ongoing “peace process.” Herein lies the dilemma for those who support BDS.

BDS: A means or an end in itself?
|
| 38 |
-
|
| 39 |
-
The Ramallah-based PACBI has always been clear that BDS is an instrument, a means to be used to achieve strategic goals — namely an end to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands during and since 1967, an end to Israeli institutionalized racism inside the 1948 boundaries of Israel and the return of the Palestinian refugees to their lands and homes. In recent years, however, BDS has been transformed from a means to an end unto itself. Many of those in solidarity with the Palestinians have begun to articulate their positions as ones that support BDS as a goal rather than a means.
|
| 40 |
-
|
| 41 |
-
The recent votes by academic organizations are a case in point. While three academic organizations that voted for BDS have declared their support for the end of the 1967 occupation, only two, the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association (NAISA) and the Association for Asian American Studies, explicitly opposed the racist policies of the state of Israel against its own Palestinian citizens.
|
| 42 |
-
|
| 43 |
-
Only NAISA’s resolution questioned Israeli racist laws and structures. The American Studies Association, by contrast, only cited the occupation of the 1967 territories, while the Modern Language Association merely censured Israel for denying Palestinian academics and students their academic freedom without condemning the occupation or Israeli state racism. MESA’s resolution did not even mention any of the goals of BDS at all.
|
| 44 |
-
|
| 45 |
-
While these resolutions are a step in the right direction, and in many cases are the result of long and fierce battles waged by members deeply committed to all Palestinian rights, they mostly fail to articulate positions that accord with all the explicit goals of BDS. Indeed, not one of these organizations mentioned the third goal of BDS, namely the right of the Palestinian refugees to return, which Israel continues to deny in defiance of UN resolutions and international law in order to safeguard a Jewish majority in the country.
|
| 46 |
-
|
| 47 |
-
As European politicians have recognized, BDS can now be used as a means to achieve ends that those who adopt it can decide on. Palestinians’ monopoly on decision-making through PACBI and the Boycott National Committee and on determining the goals of BDS is not guaranteed.
|
| 48 |
-
|
| 49 |
-
Different parties, declaring solidarity with the Palestinians, can and do dismiss PACBI altogether as only one of many international organizations that support BDS, arguing that each supporter of BDS can determine on their own whatever goals they deem fit. In short, the expanded support of BDS in the US and Europe is not necessarily an expanded support for the goals of ending Israeli racism, Israel’s occupation and the Palestinian refugees’ exile, but rather simply support for the use of BDS as a means to achieve whatever the party using it determines as the sought-after goal.
|
| 50 |
-
|
| 51 |
-
As I have written and explained since the signing of the 1993 Oslo accords, all the “solutions” offered by Western and Arab governments and Israeli and PA liberals to end the so-called “Palestinian-Israeli conflict” are premised on guaranteeing Israel’s survival as a racist Jewish state unscathed. All “solutions” that do not offer such a guarantee are dismissed a priori as impractical, unpragmatic and even anti-Semitic. The recent attempts to co-opt BDS for that very same goal are in line with this commitment.
|
| 52 |
-
|
| 53 |
-
This explains the sudden downgrading of the threat of BDS from something that is untouchable by European and American officials and liberal academics and activists — who understood its ultimate goal as one that not only refuses to guarantee the survival of Israel as a racist state, but also aims specifically to dismantle all its racist structures — to something increasingly safe to adopt by most of them, as it now can be used to secure Israel’s survival.
|
| 54 |
-
|
| 55 |
-
Palestinians and their supporters must be vigilant about this co-optation of BDS, and must recognize that with the achievement of mainstreaming also come serious risks. Unless they reaffirm that support for BDS is support for the explicit goals that PACBI had initially set, then this recent and apparent “transformation” in attitudes, which in fact is no transformation at all, will usher in a slippery slope — the end goal of which is, alas, too familiar for Palestinians to revisit yet again.
|
| 56 |
-
|
| 57 |
-
Due to the continued absence of an independent, representative and unified Palestinian liberation movement capable of articulating a coherent strategy and leading the struggle for liberation, BDS will continue, contrary to PACBI’s stated goals, to be utilized at best as a “threat” to Israel to end its 1967 occupation. This is nothing short of a smokescreen to perpetuate Israel’s other forms of colonial control over historic Palestine and the Palestinians and to preserve its institutionalized and legal racism.
|
| 58 |
-
|
| 59 |
-
Rather than call on the international community to adopt BDS without an explicit commitment to its goals, Palestinians must insist that those in solidarity with them adopt BDS as a strategy and not as a goal, in order to bring about an end to Israel’s racism and colonialism in all its forms inside and outside the 1948 boundaries.
|
| 60 |
-
|
| 61 |
-
Otherwise, BDS can and will be used to strengthen the Jewish settler-colony and the Israeli liberal project that backs it.

|
| 112 |
-
|
| 113 |
-
<p>Ahmad had set out from the al-Mawasi camp west of Khan Yunis where the family had sought shelter to check on their home in Rafah.</p>
|
| 114 |
-
|
| 115 |
-
<p>“He said goodbye and told me that we would meet in Rafah and asked me to wait for his call to tell me how the house was, whether it was okay or destroyed,” Amal said during an interview in February. “I waited for him.”</p>
|
| 116 |
-
|
| 117 |
-
<p>Ahmad never called.</p>
|
| 118 |
-
|
| 119 |
-
<p>Instead, his mother rushed to Nasser Medical Complex after a friend said he had been injured. When she got there, her husband told her that Ahmad had been martyred and to pray for him.</p>
|
| 120 |
-
|
| 121 |
-
<p>“This is a cowardly army that kills our children,” Amal said. ”I will never forgive a world that has remained silent about our killing.”</p>
|
| 122 |
-
|
| 123 |
-
<p>The Israeli army is heavily concentrated along and around the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-egypt-philadelphi-corridor-cd15c27cecffe70322becd933cf38909">Philadelphi corridor</a> – the area hugging the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.</p>
|
| 124 |
-
|
| 125 |
-
<p>And while Israel unilaterally ended the ceasefire this week, its military never left. Indeed, fear over the Israeli army’s continuing presence in the Philadelphi area, where some 90 percent of neighborhoods have been totally or partially destroyed, has made displaced residents hesitant to return to it or the center of Rafah.</p>
|
| 126 |
-
|
| 127 |
-
<p>By 1 March, according to local authorities, over <a href="https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/despite-ceasefire-rafah-remains-isolated-most-its-residents-unable-return-enar">40 people</a> had been killed in Rafah since the ceasefire took effect on 19 January and before Israel tore it up.</p>
|
| 128 |
-
|
| 129 |
-
<p>Ahmad al-Soufi, the mayor of Rafah said the entire city is a <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/oxfam-director-conditions-gaza-apocalyptic">disaster</a> area and with snipers still present, many had simply not tried to come home.</p>
|
| 130 |
-
|
| 131 |
-
<p>“Life is non-existent in Rafah for several reasons, including both the presence of the Israeli army and the many areas in the city that are dangerous. Citizens cannot reach their areas safely and few return for fear of Israeli snipers,” al-Soufi said.</p>
|
| 132 |
-
|
| 133 |
-
<h2>A ghost area</h2>
|
| 134 |
-
|
| 135 |
-
<p>Reem Shalouf, 35, also tried to go home as soon as the ceasefire came into force. The devastation in her area was so comprehensive, however, that had she known, she said, she would not have bothered.</p>
|
| 136 |
-
|
| 137 |
-
<p>“I ran like a ten-year-old girl when they announced the ceasefire. Two days later, I left.”</p>
|
| 138 |
-
|
| 139 |
-
<p>As she made her way there, people shouted out warnings of the potential danger from unexploded ordinances, falling debris and Israeli army snipers.</p>
|
| 140 |
-
|
| 141 |
-
<p>“I saw a ghost area, not a residential area,” Reem said. “There were no landmarks left, just piles of rubble everywhere.”</p>
|
| 142 |
-
|
| 143 |
-
<p>Reem’s 8-year-old daughter Lara had asked her to bring back a Barbie doll her father had given her for her birthday one month before the Israeli attacks began in October 2023. She knew right away, however, when approaching her neighborhood that she would never find her daughter’s toy.</p>
|
| 144 |
-
|
| 145 |
-
<p>“I returned to Mawasi Khan Younis in shock, and I am still devastated about what I saw,” Reem told The Electronic Intifada. “My heart aches as it does for many of the city’s residents.”</p>
|
| 146 |
-
|
| 147 |
-
<p>For now she has decided to wait in Khan Younis with her three children.</p>
|
| 148 |
-
|
| 149 |
-
<p>And with Israel resuming its genocide in Gaza two months after agreeing to a ceasefire, when she will be able to return remains entirely up in the air.</p>
|
| 150 |
-
|
| 151 |
-
<p>The damage in Rafah is enormous, and a massive reconstruction effort is needed before the city is fit for return. Mayor al-Soufi said the city needs 150,000 housing units for those who lost their homes, and the equipment to clean and rebuild.</p>
|
| 152 |
-
|
| 153 |
-
<p>“There is also a severe shortage of the equipment and heavy machinery that helps municipal workers remove rubble, open streets and restore such basic services as water to some areas; the infrastructure is completely destroyed.”</p>
|
| 154 |
-
|
| 155 |
-
<p>Al-Soufi said it is is these and other needs that have led him, along with other Palestinians to call on foreign governments and international aid agencies to <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/israel-obstructing-aid-deliveries-gaza-rights-groups-warn">provide</a> relief to the disaster-stricken city of Rafah so that citizens can return.</p>
|
| 156 |
-
|
| 157 |
-
<p>“These attacks will not deter us from continuing our duty towards our city and our people. We will continue to work, and we will restore life to Rafah, no matter the cost,” the mayor said.</p>

field-publisher\">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>Amal Kassab lost her son Ahmad, 18, to an Israeli military attack on 19 January, the first day of the so-called ceasefire in January.</p>\n\n<p>Ahmad had set out from the al-Mawasi camp west of Khan Yunis where the family had sought shelter to check on their home in Rafah.</p>\n\n<p>“He said goodbye and told me that we would meet in Rafah and asked me to wait for his call to tell me how the house was, whether it was okay or destroyed,” Amal said during an interview in February. “I waited for him.”</p>\n\n<p>Ahmad never called.</p>\n\n<p>Instead, his mother rushed to Nasser Medical Complex after a friend said he had been injured. When she got there, her husband told her that Ahmad had been martyred and to pray for him.</p>\n\n<p>“This is a cowardly army that kills our children,” Amal said. ”I will never forgive a world that has remained silent about our killing.”</p>\n\n<p>The Israeli army is heavily concentrated along and around the <a href=\"https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-egypt-philadelphi-corridor-cd15c27cecffe70322becd933cf38909\">Philadelphi corridor</a> – the area hugging the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.</p>\n\n<p>And while Israel unilaterally ended the ceasefire this week, its military never left. Indeed, fear over the Israeli army’s continuing presence in the Philadelphi area, where some 90 percent of neighborhoods have been totally or partially destroyed, has made displaced residents hesitant to return to it or the center of Rafah.</p>\n\n<p>By 1 March, according to local authorities, over <a href=\"https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/despite-ceasefire-rafah-remains-isolated-most-its-residents-unable-return-enar\">40 people</a> had been killed in Rafah since the ceasefire took effect on 19 January and before Israel tore it up.</p>\n\n<p>Ahmad al-Soufi, the mayor of Rafah said the entire city is a <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/oxfam-director-conditions-gaza-apocalyptic\">disaster</a> area and with snipers still present, many had simply not tried to come home.</p>\n\n<p>“Life is non-existent in Rafah for several reasons, including both the presence of the Israeli army and the many areas in the city that are dangerous. Citizens cannot reach their areas safely and few return for fear of Israeli snipers,” al-Soufi said.</p>\n\n<h2>A ghost area</h2>\n\n<p>Reem Shalouf, 35, also tried to go home as soon as the ceasefire came into force. The devastation in her area was so comprehensive, however, that had she known, she said, she would not have bothered.</p>\n\n<p>“I ran like a ten-year-old girl when they announced the ceasefire. Two days later, I left.”</p>\n\n<p>As she made her way there, people shouted out warnings of the potential danger from unexploded ordinances, falling debris and Israeli army snipers.</p>\n\n<p>“I saw a ghost area, not a residential area,” Reem said. “There were no landmarks left, just piles of rubble everywhere.”</p>\n\n<p>Reem’s 8-year-old daughter Lara had asked her to bring back a Barbie doll her father had given her for her birthday one month before the Israeli attacks began in October 2023. She knew right away, however, when approaching her neighborhood that she would never find her daughter’s toy.</p>\n\n<p>“I returned to Mawasi Khan Younis in shock, and I am still devastated about what I saw,” Reem told The Electronic Intifada. “My heart aches as it does for many of the city’s residents.”</p>\n\n<p>For now she has decided to wait in Khan Younis with her three children.</p>\n\n<p>And with Israel resuming its genocide in Gaza two months after agreeing to a ceasefire, when she will be able to return remains entirely up in the air.</p>\n\n<p>The damage in Rafah is enormous, and a massive reconstruction effort is needed before the city is fit for return. Mayor al-Soufi said the city needs 150,000 housing units for those who lost their homes, and the equipment to clean and rebuild.</p>\n\n<p>“There is also a severe shortage of the equipment and heavy machinery that helps municipal workers remove rubble, open streets and restore such basic services as water to some areas; the infrastructure is completely destroyed.”</p>\n\n<p>Al-Soufi said it is is these and other needs that have led him, along with other Palestinians to call on foreign governments and international aid agencies to <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/israel-obstructing-aid-deliveries-gaza-rights-groups-warn\">provide</a> relief to the disaster-stricken city of Rafah so that citizens can return.</p>\n\n<p>“These attacks will not deter us from continuing our duty towards our city and our people. We will continue to work, and we will restore life to Rafah, no matter the cost,” the mayor said.</p>\n\n<p><em>Ruwaida Amer is a journalist in Gaza.</em></p> <h3 class=\"field-label field

APA imagesAmal Kassab lost her son Ahmad, 18, to an Israeli military attack on 19 January, the first day of the so-called ceasefire in January.
|

|
| 5 |
-
Ahmad had set out from the al-Mawasi camp west of Khan Yunis where the family had sought shelter to check on their home in Rafah.
|

|

“He said goodbye and told me that we would meet in Rafah and asked me to wait for his call to tell me how the house was, whether it was okay or destroyed,” Amal said during an interview in February. “I waited for him.”
|
| 8 |
-
|
| 9 |
-
Ahmad never called.
|
| 10 |
-
|
| 11 |
-
Instead, his mother rushed to Nasser Medical Complex after a friend said he had been injured. When she got there, her husband told her that Ahmad had been martyred and to pray for him.
|
| 12 |

|

“This is a cowardly army that kills our children,” Amal said. ”I will never forgive a world that has remained silent about our killing.”
|

|

-
The Israeli army is heavily concentrated along and around the Philadelphi corridor – the area hugging the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.
|
| 16 |
-
|
| 17 |
-
And while Israel unilaterally ended the ceasefire this week, its military never left. Indeed, fear over the Israeli army’s continuing presence in the Philadelphi area, where some 90 percent of neighborhoods have been totally or partially destroyed, has made displaced residents hesitant to return to it or the center of Rafah.
|
| 18 |
-
|
| 19 |
-
By 1 March, according to local authorities, over 40 people had been killed in Rafah since the ceasefire took effect on 19 January and before Israel tore it up.
|
| 20 |
-
|
| 21 |
-
Ahmad al-Soufi, the mayor of Rafah said the entire city is a disaster area and with snipers still present, many had simply not tried to come home.
|
| 22 |
-
|
| 23 |
-
“Life is non-existent in Rafah for several reasons, including both the presence of the Israeli army and the many areas in the city that are dangerous. Citizens cannot reach their areas safely and few return for fear of Israeli snipers,” al-Soufi said.
|

Reem Shalouf, 35, also tried to go home as soon as the ceasefire came into force. The devastation in her area was so comprehensive, however, that had she known, she said, she would not have bothered.
|
| 28 |
-
|
| 29 |
-
“I ran like a ten-year-old girl when they announced the ceasefire. Two days later, I left.”
|
| 30 |
-
|
| 31 |
-
As she made her way there, people shouted out warnings of the potential danger from unexploded ordinances, falling debris and Israeli army snipers.
|
| 32 |
-
|
| 33 |
-
“I saw a ghost area, not a residential area,” Reem said. “There were no landmarks left, just piles of rubble everywhere.”
|
| 34 |
-
|
| 35 |
-
Reem’s 8-year-old daughter Lara had asked her to bring back a Barbie doll her father had given her for her birthday one month before the Israeli attacks began in October 2023. She knew right away, however, when approaching her neighborhood that she would never find her daughter’s toy.
|
| 36 |
-
|
| 37 |
-
“I returned to Mawasi Khan Younis in shock, and I am still devastated about what I saw,” Reem told The Electronic Intifada. “My heart aches as it does for many of the city’s residents.”
|
| 38 |
-
|
| 39 |
-
For now she has decided to wait in Khan Younis with her three children.
|
| 40 |
-
|
| 41 |
-
And with Israel resuming its genocide in Gaza two months after agreeing to a ceasefire, when she will be able to return remains entirely up in the air.
|
| 42 |
-
|
| 43 |
-
The damage in Rafah is enormous, and a massive reconstruction effort is needed before the city is fit for return. Mayor al-Soufi said the city needs 150,000 housing units for those who lost their homes, and the equipment to clean and rebuild.
|
| 44 |
-
|
| 45 |
-
“There is also a severe shortage of the equipment and heavy machinery that helps municipal workers remove rubble, open streets and restore such basic services as water to some areas; the infrastructure is completely destroyed.”
|
| 46 |
-
|
| 47 |
-
Al-Soufi said it is is these and other needs that have led him, along with other Palestinians to call on foreign governments and international aid agencies to provide relief to the disaster-stricken city of Rafah so that citizens can return.
|
| 48 |
-
|
| 49 |
-
“These attacks will not deter us from continuing our duty towards our city and our people. We will continue to work, and we will restore life to Rafah, no matter the cost,” the mayor said.

(Yousef Aljamal)</p></figcaption></figure><p>It was the final lecture in the course on William Shakespeare.</p>\n\n<p>Our teacher <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/content/memory-dr-refaat-alareer/\">Dr. Refaat Alareer</a> started talking about the upcoming exam. In one question, we would be asked to write about a thought-provoking matter, he said.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat’s exams were never direct or simple. So I thought the question he was referring to would be the hardest task he would ever give us.</p>\n\n<p>On 7 December – the date when we heard about Dr. Refaat’s <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/tamara-nassar/refaat-alareer-was-assassinated-israel\">assassination</a> – I realized that I was wrong.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat Alareer was one of the most brilliant people you could ever meet. He was also one of the funniest.</p>\n\n<p>I took four courses with him but it was not enough.</p>\n\n<p>I was delighted that I had enrolled to take another course with him. By assassinating Dr. Refaat, Israel has taken away this delight.</p>\n\n<p>When I was in high school, I wished that I could have an extraordinary teacher like the ones we see in movies. A teacher like John Keating in <em>Dead Poets Society</em> or Erin Gruwell in <em>Freedom Writers</em>.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat made my wish come true.</p>\n\n<p>During this current war, he was incredibly busy and weighed down with the responsibility of securing water, food and shelter for his family.</p>\n\n<p>He was always searching for internet access. That involved navigating perilous paths amid the exploding bombs to write, translate and share Palestinian stories.</p>\n\n<p>He believed that storytelling is a strong act of resistance.</p>\n\n<p>Yet he would still find the time to check on me and my fellow students, as well as our families, and ask if we needed anything.</p>\n\n<h2>Listener</h2>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat gave us the courage to stand for what we believe in and the courage to question and change our beliefs simultaneously. He encouraged us to express our opinions, even if he didn’t agree with them.</p>\n\n<p>He taught us to be truly free.</p>\n\n<p>He was one of the best listeners I’ve ever met.</p>\n\n<p>Speaking to him might have left you slightly bewildered if you were unaccustomed to such attentiveness. He listened to you as if you were the most important, talented or smartest student.</p>\n\n<p>He would never provide you with a direct answer.</p>\n\n<p>When you asked him a question, he would often reply with another question. “What do you think?” or something like that.</p>\n\n<p>He would engage with your thoughts graciously, even if they were naive or if they seemed to be nonsense. He believed that each one of us had a unique perspective that was worth sharing and writing about.</p>\n\n<p>If Dr. Refaat described your work as “good” or “beautiful,” you should have considered it a noteworthy achievement. He was a discerning evaluator, saving praise only for work that truly met his high standards.</p>\n\n<p>We knew we were blessed to have him as a teacher.</p>\n\n<p>At times when my friend Deema and I had a free hour in our lecture schedule, we would check if Dr. Refaat was conducting a lecture at that moment, and we would attend it. Regardless of the subject matter, listening to Dr. Refaat would ignite our intellect, refresh our spirit and make us laugh.</p>\n\n<p>Now – because of the continuous telecommunications cuts which Israel is imposing – Deema and I are unable to mourn together. Israel has even taken that from us.</p>\n\n<p>The overwhelming mix of sadness and anger clouds my recollection of specific warm memories.</p>\n\n<p>Just one week before his martyrdom, I sent Dr. Refaat my translation of his poem <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/refaat17/p/C0MxSlzL8HG/\">“Drenched”</a> and asked him if the translation was good enough to be shared. He read it and he told me it was excellent.</p>\n\n<p>That made me beam from ear to ear.</p>\n\n<p>He told me to post it on Twitter so that he could repost it.</p>\n\n<h2>Facing the challenge</h2>\n\n<p>It was the first time Dr. Refaat shared on his personal account something I had translated. Now that I’m working on translating another poem by him, it kills me that he is no longer here to read it and discuss it with me.</p>\n\n<p>When he was assassinated, my family tried to console me by saying he’s in a better place now.</p>\n\n<p>“What about me?” I asked. “Who will read my translations from now on? \nWith whom can I share the joy of getting published or writing a poem or a story?”</p>\n\n<p>His absence is deeply felt and I still yearn for the support and connection he provided.</p>\n\n<p>When Dr.Refaat was alive, I never had the nerve to translate his poem “If I Must Die.” It was incredibly hard for me to picture him dying, to accept the fact that he could be killed.</p>\n\n<p>He consistently urged us to write. Yet every attempt left me feeling vulnerable, so I gave up on writing completely.</p>\n\n<p>Before his assassination, the idea of penning and sharing these words would have been far beyond my comfort zone. But here I am, writing about him and for him.</p>\n\n<p>Even in his physical absence, Dr. Refaat continues to push me to grow and step outside my comfort zone.</p>\n\n<p>“If I Must Die” was the poem he wished everyone to remember him through. It was pinned on his Twitter account.</p>\n\n<p>The last part of the poem reads:</p>\n\n<p>If I must die<br /> \nlet it bring hope<br />\nlet it be a tale<br />\n<div id=\"file-146766\" class=\"file file-document file-text-oembed oembed-rich oembed-default oembed-twitter\">\n\n \n \n <div class=\"oembed-content\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If I must die, let it be a tale. <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/FreePalestine?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FreePalestine</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/Gaza?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Gaza</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/ODPx3TiH1a\">pic.twitter.com/ODPx3TiH1a</a></p>— Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸 (@itranslate123) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/itranslate123/status/1719701312990830934?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 1, 2023</a></blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n </div>\n\n \n</div>\n \nThis task proves to be the hardest and most challenging.</p>\n\n<p>How on earth, Dr. Refaat, can we find hope in your demise? How do we persist in telling your tale when you are no longer here to guide and inspire us?</p>\n\n<p>It’s an immensely difficult endeavor. But it is a challenge we will face, like you taught us, with unwavering determination.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat’s words echo in our hearts, urging us to find hope even in the face of tragedy and to continue weaving his tale like a tapestry.</p>\n\n<p>The difficulty of the task only amplifies our commitment to honor his legacy, ensuring that his words resonate eternally, bringing hope and inspiration to those who carry on his work.</p>\n\n<p><em>Nour Nemer is a student and translator in Gaza.</em></p> <h3 class=\"field-label field field-tag\">\n <i class=\"fa fa-tags\"></i>

(Yousef Aljamal)</p></figcaption></figure><p>It was the final lecture in the course on William Shakespeare.</p>\n\n<p>Our teacher <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/content/memory-dr-refaat-alareer/\">Dr. Refaat Alareer</a> started talking about the upcoming exam. In one question, we would be asked to write about a thought-provoking matter, he said.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat’s exams were never direct or simple. So I thought the question he was referring to would be the hardest task he would ever give us.</p>\n\n<p>On 7 December – the date when we heard about Dr. Refaat’s <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/tamara-nassar/refaat-alareer-was-assassinated-israel\">assassination</a> – I realized that I was wrong.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat Alareer was one of the most brilliant people you could ever meet. He was also one of the funniest.</p>\n\n<p>I took four courses with him but it was not enough.</p>\n\n<p>I was delighted that I had enrolled to take another course with him. By assassinating Dr. Refaat, Israel has taken away this delight.</p>\n\n<p>When I was in high school, I wished that I could have an extraordinary teacher like the ones we see in movies. A teacher like John Keating in <em>Dead Poets Society</em> or Erin Gruwell in <em>Freedom Writers</em>.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat made my wish come true.</p>\n\n<p>During this current war, he was incredibly busy and weighed down with the responsibility of securing water, food and shelter for his family.</p>\n\n<p>He was always searching for internet access. That involved navigating perilous paths amid the exploding bombs to write, translate and share Palestinian stories.</p>\n\n<p>He believed that storytelling is a strong act of resistance.</p>\n\n<p>Yet he would still find the time to check on me and my fellow students, as well as our families, and ask if we needed anything.</p>\n\n<h2>Listener</h2>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat gave us the courage to stand for what we believe in and the courage to question and change our beliefs simultaneously. He encouraged us to express our opinions, even if he didn’t agree with them.</p>\n\n<p>He taught us to be truly free.</p>\n\n<p>He was one of the best listeners I’ve ever met.</p>\n\n<p>Speaking to him might have left you slightly bewildered if you were unaccustomed to such attentiveness. He listened to you as if you were the most important, talented or smartest student.</p>\n\n<p>He would never provide you with a direct answer.</p>\n\n<p>When you asked him a question, he would often reply with another question. “What do you think?” or something like that.</p>\n\n<p>He would engage with your thoughts graciously, even if they were naive or if they seemed to be nonsense. He believed that each one of us had a unique perspective that was worth sharing and writing about.</p>\n\n<p>If Dr. Refaat described your work as “good” or “beautiful,” you should have considered it a noteworthy achievement. He was a discerning evaluator, saving praise only for work that truly met his high standards.</p>\n\n<p>We knew we were blessed to have him as a teacher.</p>\n\n<p>At times when my friend Deema and I had a free hour in our lecture schedule, we would check if Dr. Refaat was conducting a lecture at that moment, and we would attend it. Regardless of the subject matter, listening to Dr. Refaat would ignite our intellect, refresh our spirit and make us laugh.</p>\n\n<p>Now – because of the continuous telecommunications cuts which Israel is imposing – Deema and I are unable to mourn together. Israel has even taken that from us.</p>\n\n<p>The overwhelming mix of sadness and anger clouds my recollection of specific warm memories.</p>\n\n<p>Just one week before his martyrdom, I sent Dr. Refaat my translation of his poem <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/refaat17/p/C0MxSlzL8HG/\">“Drenched”</a> and asked him if the translation was good enough to be shared. He read it and he told me it was excellent.</p>\n\n<p>That made me beam from ear to ear.</p>\n\n<p>He told me to post it on Twitter so that he could repost it.</p>\n\n<h2>Facing the challenge</h2>\n\n<p>It was the first time Dr. Refaat shared on his personal account something I had translated. Now that I’m working on translating another poem by him, it kills me that he is no longer here to read it and discuss it with me.</p>\n\n<p>When he was assassinated, my family tried to console me by saying he’s in a better place now.</p>\n\n<p>“What about me?” I asked. “Who will read my translations from now on? \nWith whom can I share the joy of getting published or writing a poem or a story?”</p>\n\n<p>His absence is deeply felt and I still yearn for the support and connection he provided.</p>\n\n<p>When Dr.Refaat was alive, I never had the nerve to translate his poem “If I Must Die.” It was incredibly hard for me to picture him dying, to accept the fact that he could be killed.</p>\n\n<p>He consistently urged us to write. Yet every attempt left me feeling vulnerable, so I gave up on writing completely.</p>\n\n<p>Before his assassination, the idea of penning and sharing these words would have been far beyond my comfort zone. But here I am, writing about him and for him.</p>\n\n<p>Even in his physical absence, Dr. Refaat continues to push me to grow and step outside my comfort zone.</p>\n\n<p>“If I Must Die” was the poem he wished everyone to remember him through. It was pinned on his Twitter account.</p>\n\n<p>The last part of the poem reads:</p>\n\n<p>If I must die<br /> \nlet it bring hope<br />\nlet it be a tale<br />\n<div id=\"file-146766\" class=\"file file-document file-text-oembed oembed-rich oembed-default oembed-twitter\">\n\n \n \n <div class=\"oembed-content\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If I must die, let it be a tale. <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/FreePalestine?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FreePalestine</a> <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/Gaza?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Gaza</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/ODPx3TiH1a\">pic.twitter.com/ODPx3TiH1a</a></p>— Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸 (@itranslate123) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/itranslate123/status/1719701312990830934?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 1, 2023</a></blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n </div>\n\n \n</div>\n \nThis task proves to be the hardest and most challenging.</p>\n\n<p>How on earth, Dr. Refaat, can we find hope in your demise? How do we persist in telling your tale when you are no longer here to guide and inspire us?</p>\n\n<p>It’s an immensely difficult endeavor. But it is a challenge we will face, like you taught us, with unwavering determination.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat’s words echo in our hearts, urging us to find hope even in the face of tragedy and to continue weaving his tale like a tapestry.</p>\n\n<p>The difficulty of the task only amplifies our commitment to honor his legacy, ensuring that his words resonate eternally, bringing hope and inspiration to those who carry on his work.</p>\n\n<p><em>Nour Nemer is a student and translator in Gaza.</em></p> <h3 class=\"field-label field field-tag\">\n <i class=\"fa fa-tags\"></i>

(Via Instagram) </p></figcaption></figure><p>I remember how <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/content/memory-dr-refaat-alareer/42466\">Dr. Refaat Alareer</a> entered the classroom.</p>\n\n<p>He immediately put a few books on the desk. They included <em>Gaza Writes Back</em> – a collection he had <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/writing-act-courage-say-storytellers-gaza\">edited</a> – and <em>Rifqa</em> by Mohammed El-Kurd.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat always carried them around. They were a part of his identity, as a reader, writer and storyteller.</p>\n\n<p>He introduced himself, said a few things and told a few jokes. He listened to what we had to say, then took <em>Gaza Writes Back</em> in his hands and started to read aloud.</p>\n\n<p>His face lit up; his eyes opened wide.</p>\n\n<p>He really captured the essence of <a href=\"https://afsc.org/news/powerful-fiction-interview-writers-gaza-writes-back\">“Omar X,”</a> a story by Yousef Aljamal.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat told us that he recently bought a car. The worst part about doing so was that he couldn’t listen to the stories of taxi drivers in Gaza any more.</p>\n\n<p>“I could spend hours just looking at beautiful sentence structures or reading stories,” he said, smiling.</p>\n\n<p>Another favorite hobby of his was making memes. He encouraged us to be similarly creative.</p>\n\n<p>My first impression of Dr. Refaat was that he was different in a good way. His enthusiasm was real.</p>\n\n<p>I had never been able to concentrate properly during a three-hour lecture until I attended one of his.</p>\n\n<p>He taught me creative writing.</p>\n\n<p>He taught me poetry.</p>\n\n<p>He taught me Shakespeare.</p>\n\n<p>He had a profound connection with modern plays and poems and taught them in a funny and interactive way.</p>\n\n<h2>Encouragement</h2>\n\n<p>When I remember Dr. Refaat Alareer, I don’t just remember him as someone who worked at the university. He was someone who taught life.</p>\n\n<p>He was my friend. Someone I looked up to – like a father.</p>\n\n<p>Even in the darkest of times, he would check on me and other students. He told us that if we needed anything, please let him know.</p>\n\n<p>The last time he texted me via WhatsApp was on 27 November.</p>\n\n<p>He reproached me for not publishing anything since the beginning of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. And he encouraged me to write.</p>\n\n<p>On 3 December, The Electronic Intifada <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/content/world-shrinks-gazas-children/42191\">published</a> an article I wrote titled “World shrinks for Gaza’s children.” I sent Dr. Refaat a link to it but I wasn’t sure if he saw my message.</p>\n\n<p>I have subsequently learned, though, that he reposted a link to the article on Twitter. When I saw that, I couldn’t help but cry.</p>\n\n<p>You believed in me, Dr. Refaat.</p>\n\n<p>You believed in the strength of words.</p>\n\n<p>You told us, “If I must die, you must live to tell my story.”</p>\n\n<p>You always gave me confidence and strength.</p>\n\n<p>I was over the moon when you asked me to deliver a class when you were sick.</p>\n\n<p>I remember when you edited my first story and said, “I see a writer in you.”</p>\n\n<p>You always paid attention to the details.</p>\n\n<p>You shared my first published story on a WhatsApp group before I had even told you it was published. “Good job, Mahmoud,” you said.</p>\n\n<p>You made me a writer.</p>\n\n<p>You were the best teacher I ever had.</p>\n\n<p>I will always be proud to have been one of your students.</p>\n\n<p>I miss your lectures.</p>\n\n<p>I miss the comments you wrote on the right hand margins of our papers.</p>\n\n<p>My eyes filled with tears while I was writing these words. But I wiped them away and continued writing.</p>\n\n<p>You are not dead, Dr. Refaat.</p>\n\n<p>I promise that I will always write.</p>\n\n<p>I will fight with my pencil and my poems.</p>\n\n<p>I will never forget how much you brought to my life.</p>\n\n<p>You will always be my inspiration.</p>\n\n<p><em>Mahmoud Alyazji is a writer, photographer and video editor based in Gaza.</em></p> <h3

title=\"\" /></picture><figcaption class=\"group-caption field-group-html-element\"><p>The inspiring writer and educator Refaat Alareer has been assassinated by Israel. (Via Instagram) </p></figcaption></figure><p>I remember how <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/content/memory-dr-refaat-alareer/42466\">Dr. Refaat Alareer</a> entered the classroom.</p>\n\n<p>He immediately put a few books on the desk. They included <em>Gaza Writes Back</em> – a collection he had <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/nora-barrows-friedman/writing-act-courage-say-storytellers-gaza\">edited</a> – and <em>Rifqa</em> by Mohammed El-Kurd.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat always carried them around. They were a part of his identity, as a reader, writer and storyteller.</p>\n\n<p>He introduced himself, said a few things and told a few jokes. He listened to what we had to say, then took <em>Gaza Writes Back</em> in his hands and started to read aloud.</p>\n\n<p>His face lit up; his eyes opened wide.</p>\n\n<p>He really captured the essence of <a href=\"https://afsc.org/news/powerful-fiction-interview-writers-gaza-writes-back\">“Omar X,”</a> a story by Yousef Aljamal.</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Refaat told us that he recently bought a car. The worst part about doing so was that he couldn’t listen to the stories of taxi drivers in Gaza any more.</p>\n\n<p>“I could spend hours just looking at beautiful sentence structures or reading stories,” he said, smiling.</p>\n\n<p>Another favorite hobby of his was making memes. He encouraged us to be similarly creative.</p>\n\n<p>My first impression of Dr. Refaat was that he was different in a good way. His enthusiasm was real.</p>\n\n<p>I had never been able to concentrate properly during a three-hour lecture until I attended one of his.</p>\n\n<p>He taught me creative writing.</p>\n\n<p>He taught me poetry.</p>\n\n<p>He taught me Shakespeare.</p>\n\n<p>He had a profound connection with modern plays and poems and taught them in a funny and interactive way.</p>\n\n<h2>Encouragement</h2>\n\n<p>When I remember Dr. Refaat Alareer, I don’t just remember him as someone who worked at the university. He was someone who taught life.</p>\n\n<p>He was my friend. Someone I looked up to – like a father.</p>\n\n<p>Even in the darkest of times, he would check on me and other students. He told us that if we needed anything, please let him know.</p>\n\n<p>The last time he texted me via WhatsApp was on 27 November.</p>\n\n<p>He reproached me for not publishing anything since the beginning of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. And he encouraged me to write.</p>\n\n<p>On 3 December, The Electronic Intifada <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/content/world-shrinks-gazas-children/42191\">published</a> an article I wrote titled “World shrinks for Gaza’s children.” I sent Dr. Refaat a link to it but I wasn’t sure if he saw my message.</p>\n\n<p>I have subsequently learned, though, that he reposted a link to the article on Twitter. When I saw that, I couldn’t help but cry.</p>\n\n<p>You believed in me, Dr. Refaat.</p>\n\n<p>You believed in the strength of words.</p>\n\n<p>You told us, “If I must die, you must live to tell my story.”</p>\n\n<p>You always gave me confidence and strength.</p>\n\n<p>I was over the moon when you asked me to deliver a class when you were sick.</p>\n\n<p>I remember when you edited my first story and said, “I see a writer in you.”</p>\n\n<p>You always paid attention to the details.</p>\n\n<p>You shared my first published story on a WhatsApp group before I had even told you it was published. “Good job, Mahmoud,” you said.</p>\n\n<p>You made me a writer.</p>\n\n<p>You were the best teacher I ever had.</p>\n\n<p>I will always be proud to have been one of your students.</p>\n\n<p>I miss your lectures.</p>\n\n<p>I miss the comments you wrote on the right hand margins of our papers.</p>\n\n<p>My eyes filled with tears while I was writing these words. But I wiped them away and continued writing.</p>\n\n<p>You are not dead, Dr. Refaat.</p>\n\n<p>I promise that I will always write.</p>\n\n<p>I will fight with my pencil and my poems.</p>\n\n<p>I will never forget how much you brought to my life.</p>\n\n<p>You will always be my inspiration.</p>\n\n<p><em>The author is a writer, photographer and video editor from Gaza.</em></p> <h3

|
| 112 |
-
|
| 113 |
-
<p>Dozens of relatives were killed in the strike, but when identifying the bodies, Mahmoud noticed that his mother and brother were not among the recovered corpses.</p>
|
| 114 |
-
|
| 115 |
-
<p>“My mother was in the kitchen when the bombing happened,” Mahmoud recalled with a trembling voice in an interview in October near the ruins of his family home.</p>
|
| 116 |
-
|
| 117 |
-
<p>His testimony adds to the growing evidence that some victims are completely vaporized in some Israeli airstrikes.</p>
|
| 118 |
-
|
| 119 |
-
<p>Reports from civil defense workers and hospitals indicate that <a href="https://english.ahram.org.eg/News/530328.aspx">1,760 bodies</a> have been incinerated by the intense heat generated by some Israeli bombs.</p>
|
| 120 |
-
|
| 121 |
-
<p>Civil defense officer Tamer Zourob told The Electronic Intifada that the scenes he encounters are “beyond description.”</p>
|
| 122 |
-
|
| 123 |
-
<p>“Even the concrete melts and turns to ashes because of these bombs, so imagine what they do to a human body,” he said.</p>
|
| 124 |
-
|
| 125 |
-
<p>Many people are reported missing after airstrikes, he said, but extensive search efforts often fail to recover any remains.</p>
|
| 126 |
-
|
| 127 |
-
<p>“It’s heartbreaking when families beg us to find their loved ones, even a small piece of them. But sometimes, we find nothing,” he said.</p>

<h2>Waiting for closure</h2>
|

|
| 131 |

<p>Hidaya Sadiq has been unable to recover the body of her son Akram, 27, who was evidently killed on 22 October 2023 in an Israeli airstrike <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2023/10/22/south-of-gaza-strip-pounded-by-air-strikes-as-civilians-seek-refuge">on a café</a> in central Khan Younis.</p>
|
| 132 |
-
|
| 133 |
-
<p>Akram was sitting with friends when the missile hit the cafe. But despite witnesses confirming his presence at the location during the attack, no body was found.</p>
|
| 134 |
-
|
| 135 |
-
<p>Hidaya continues to live with the anguish of uncertainty over the fate of her son.</p>
|
| 136 |
-
|
| 137 |
-
<p>“How can a human being made of flesh and blood just vanish like that?” she asked during an interview earlier in October. “ I took care of him, stayed up with him at night, and now he has evaporated in a moment. What did he do to deserve such a brutal death?”</p>
|
| 138 |
-
|
| 139 |
-
<p>The pain of not being able to see or even bury her son leaves her in a constant state of grief with unanswered questions turning over in her mind.</p>
|
| 140 |
-
|
| 141 |
-
<p>She is far from alone.</p>
|
| 142 |
-
|
| 143 |
-
<p>Muhammad Rayan, head of the emergency department at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, confirmed the occurrence of “body vaporization” based on cases he has investigated and from the experience of his own relatives.</p>
|
| 144 |
-
|
| 145 |
-
<p>In some instances, he said, the intense heat from certain bombs left only fragments of bodies or nothing at all, making it nearly impossible to identify any human remains. As a result, some corpses are recovered from the rubble while others vanish without trace.</p>
|
| 146 |
-
|
| 147 |
-
<p>“The house of my aunt was hit, and to this day, we have not found the bodies of her daughter and grandson, not even any parts of them. It’s as if they simply vanished,” Rayan said in a phone interview with The Electronic Intifada.</p>

<p>The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor <a href="https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6290/Investigation-must-be-opened-into-Israel%E2%80%99s-potential-use-of-banned-thermal-weapons,-which-cause-victims%E2%80%99-bodies-to-melt-or-evaporate">has called for</a> an international investigation into the types of weapons used by Israel, including the possibility that Israel is <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/06/un-report-israeli-use-heavy-bombs-gaza-raises-serious-concerns-under-laws">using bombs</a> that generate such extreme heat that victims are simply incinerated.</p>
|
| 152 |
-
|
| 153 |
-
<p>According to the rights group, many cases similar to those of the family members of Hidaya and Mahmoud have been documented, suggesting the possible use of <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60571395">thermobaric</a> or “vacuum” bombs, used to destroy tunnels and underground shelters.</p>
|
| 154 |
-
|
| 155 |
-
<p>The group’s findings have been supported by local health authorities and Gaza’s civil defense, who are documenting cases in to support any legal claims that may arise.</p>
|
| 156 |
-
|
| 157 |
-
<p>The horror of losing loved ones without trace can add an extra layer of agony for families already suffering from loss, but unable to properly mourn.</p>
|
| 158 |
-
|
| 159 |
-
<p>Iman Abu Akar, a mental health professional affiliated with the Ma’an Development Center in Gaza, said that the absence of a body leads to a state of “ambiguous loss,” making closure almost impossible and prolonging the grieving process.</p>
|
| 160 |
-
|
| 161 |
-
<p>Even a small part of the deceased can help families find some peace and start the healing process, she told The Electronic Intifada.</p>
|
| 162 |
-
|
| 163 |
-
<p>For Hidaya and other grieving mothers, the absence of a body means the absence of closure, leaving them with perpetual pain and unanswered questions.</p>
|
| 164 |
-
|
| 165 |
-
<p>“I want any part of him, anything, even if it’s a tiny piece, to be able to believe that he is truly gone,” she said.</p>
|
| 166 |
-
|
| 167 |
-
<p>Mahmoud now lives alone, cared for by the adults around him. He misses his mother, he said.</p>
|
| 168 |
-
|
| 169 |
-
<p>“I wish I could have seen her one last time to say goodbye. If she had a grave, I would visit her every time I missed her.”</p>

Younis bombed on 25 October. According to local authorities, 1,760 people are missing-presumed-incinerated in Israeli attacks over the past year. </p><small class=\"credit\">\n<span class=\"field field-author\">Salam Yasser</span>\n<span class=\"field field-publisher\">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>Mahmoud Ahmad Salah,12, survived <a href=\"https://vashtimedia.com/death-and-the-story-gaza-instagram/\">an airstrike</a> on 7 December that wiped out his entire family in western Khan Younis.</p>\n\n<p>Dozens of relatives were killed in the strike, but when identifying the bodies, Mahmoud noticed that his mother and brother were not among the recovered corpses.</p>\n\n<p>“My mother was in the kitchen when the bombing happened,” Mahmoud recalled with a trembling voice in an interview in October near the ruins of his family home.</p>\n\n<p>His testimony adds to the growing evidence that some victims are completely vaporized in some Israeli airstrikes.</p>\n\n<p>Reports from civil defense workers and hospitals indicate that <a href=\"https://english.ahram.org.eg/News/530328.aspx\">1,760 bodies</a> have been incinerated by the intense heat generated by some Israeli bombs.</p>\n\n<p>Civil defense officer Tamer Zourob told The Electronic Intifada that the scenes he encounters are “beyond description.”</p>\n\n<p>“Even the concrete melts and turns to ashes because of these bombs, so imagine what they do to a human body,” he said.</p>\n\n<p>Many people are reported missing after airstrikes, he said, but extensive search efforts often fail to recover any remains.</p>\n\n<p>“It’s heartbreaking when families beg us to find their loved ones, even a small piece of them. But sometimes, we find nothing,” he said.</p>\n\n<h2>Waiting for closure</h2>\n\n<p>Hidaya Sadiq has been unable to recover the body of her son Akram, 27, who was evidently killed on 22 October 2023 in an Israeli airstrike <a href=\"https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2023/10/22/south-of-gaza-strip-pounded-by-air-strikes-as-civilians-seek-refuge\">on a café</a> in central Khan Younis.</p>\n\n<p>Akram was sitting with friends when the missile hit the cafe. But despite witnesses confirming his presence at the location during the attack, no body was found.</p>\n\n<p>Hidaya continues to live with the anguish of uncertainty over the fate of her son.</p>\n\n<p>“How can a human being made of flesh and blood just vanish like that?” she asked during an interview earlier in October. “ I took care of him, stayed up with him at night, and now he has evaporated in a moment. What did he do to deserve such a brutal death?”</p>\n\n<p>The pain of not being able to see or even bury her son leaves her in a constant state of grief with unanswered questions turning over in her mind.</p>\n\n<p>She is far from alone.</p>\n\n<p>Muhammad Rayan, head of the emergency department at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, confirmed the occurrence of “body vaporization” based on cases he has investigated and from the experience of his own relatives.</p>\n\n<p>In some instances, he said, the intense heat from certain bombs left only fragments of bodies or nothing at all, making it nearly impossible to identify any human remains. As a result, some corpses are recovered from the rubble while others vanish without trace.</p>\n\n<p>“The house of my aunt was hit, and to this day, we have not found the bodies of her daughter and grandson, not even any parts of them. It’s as if they simply vanished,” Rayan said in a phone interview with The Electronic Intifada.</p>\n\n<h2>Accountability</h2>\n\n<p>The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor <a href=\"https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6290/Investigation-must-be-opened-into-Israel%E2%80%99s-potential-use-of-banned-thermal-weapons,-which-cause-victims%E2%80%99-bodies-to-melt-or-evaporate\">has called for</a> an international investigation into the types of weapons used by Israel, including the possibility that Israel is <a href=\"https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/06/un-report-israeli-use-heavy-bombs-gaza-raises-serious-concerns-under-laws\">using bombs</a> that generate such extreme heat that victims are simply incinerated.</p>\n\n<p>According to the rights group, many cases similar to those of the family members of Hidaya and Mahmoud have been documented, suggesting the possible use of <a href=\"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60571395\">thermobaric</a> or “vacuum” bombs, used to destroy tunnels and underground shelters.</p>\n\n<p>The group’s findings have been supported by local health authorities and Gaza’s civil defense, who are documenting cases in to support any legal claims that may arise.</p>\n\n<p>The horror of losing loved ones without trace can add an extra layer of agony for families already suffering from loss, but unable to properly mourn.</p>\n\n<p>Iman Abu Akar, a mental health professional affiliated with the Ma’an Development Center in Gaza, said that the absence of a body leads to a state of “ambiguous loss,” making closure almost impossible and prolonging the grieving process.</p>\n\n<p>Even a small part of the deceased can help families find some peace and start the healing process, she told The Electronic Intifada.</p>\n\n<p>For Hidaya and other grieving mothers, the absence of a body means the absence of closure, leaving them with perpetual pain and unanswered questions.</p>\n\n<p>“I want any part of him, anything, even if it’s a tiny piece, to be able to believe that he is truly gone,” she said.</p>\n\n<p>Mahmoud now lives alone, cared for by the adults around him. He misses his mother, he said.</p>\n\n<p>“I wish I could have seen her one last time to say goodbye. If she had a grave, I would visit her every time I missed her.”</p>\n\n<p><em>Fedaa al-Qedra is a journalist in Gaza.</em></p> <h3 class=\"field-label field field-tag\">\n <i class=\"fa fa-tags\"></i>

An emergency worker seaches for victims in the rubble of a building in Khan Younis bombed on 25 October. According to local authorities, 1,760 people are missing-presumed-incinerated in Israeli attacks over the past year.

APA imagesMahmoud Ahmad Salah,12, survived an airstrike on 7 December that wiped out his entire family in western Khan Younis.
|
| 4 |
-
|
| 5 |
-
Dozens of relatives were killed in the strike, but when identifying the bodies, Mahmoud noticed that his mother and brother were not among the recovered corpses.
|
| 6 |
-
|
| 7 |
-
“My mother was in the kitchen when the bombing happened,” Mahmoud recalled with a trembling voice in an interview in October near the ruins of his family home.
|
| 8 |
-
|
| 9 |
-
His testimony adds to the growing evidence that some victims are completely vaporized in some Israeli airstrikes.
|
| 10 |
-
|
| 11 |
-
Reports from civil defense workers and hospitals indicate that 1,760 bodies have been incinerated by the intense heat generated by some Israeli bombs.
|
| 12 |
-
|
| 13 |
-
Civil defense officer Tamer Zourob told The Electronic Intifada that the scenes he encounters are “beyond description.”
|
| 14 |
-
|
| 15 |
-
“Even the concrete melts and turns to ashes because of these bombs, so imagine what they do to a human body,” he said.
|
| 16 |
-
|
| 17 |
-
Many people are reported missing after airstrikes, he said, but extensive search efforts often fail to recover any remains.
|
| 18 |
-
|
| 19 |
-
“It’s heartbreaking when families beg us to find their loved ones, even a small piece of them. But sometimes, we find nothing,” he said.

Waiting for closure

Hidaya Sadiq has been unable to recover the body of her son Akram, 27, who was evidently killed on 22 October 2023 in an Israeli airstrike on a café in central Khan Younis.
|
| 24 |
-
|
| 25 |
-
Akram was sitting with friends when the missile hit the cafe. But despite witnesses confirming his presence at the location during the attack, no body was found.
|
| 26 |
-
|
| 27 |
-
Hidaya continues to live with the anguish of uncertainty over the fate of her son.
|
| 28 |
-
|
| 29 |
-
“How can a human being made of flesh and blood just vanish like that?” she asked during an interview earlier in October. “ I took care of him, stayed up with him at night, and now he has evaporated in a moment. What did he do to deserve such a brutal death?”
|
| 30 |
-
|
| 31 |
-
The pain of not being able to see or even bury her son leaves her in a constant state of grief with unanswered questions turning over in her mind.
|
| 32 |
-
|
| 33 |
-
She is far from alone.
|
| 34 |
-
|
| 35 |
-
Muhammad Rayan, head of the emergency department at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, confirmed the occurrence of “body vaporization” based on cases he has investigated and from the experience of his own relatives.
|
| 36 |
-
|
| 37 |
-
In some instances, he said, the intense heat from certain bombs left only fragments of bodies or nothing at all, making it nearly impossible to identify any human remains. As a result, some corpses are recovered from the rubble while others vanish without trace.
|
| 38 |
-
|
| 39 |
-
“The house of my aunt was hit, and to this day, we have not found the bodies of her daughter and grandson, not even any parts of them. It’s as if they simply vanished,” Rayan said in a phone interview with The Electronic Intifada.

Accountability
|
| 42 |
-
|
| 43 |
-
The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has called for an international investigation into the types of weapons used by Israel, including the possibility that Israel is using bombs that generate such extreme heat that victims are simply incinerated.
|
| 44 |
-
|
| 45 |
-
According to the rights group, many cases similar to those of the family members of Hidaya and Mahmoud have been documented, suggesting the possible use of thermobaric or “vacuum” bombs, used to destroy tunnels and underground shelters.
|
| 46 |
-
|
| 47 |
-
The group’s findings have been supported by local health authorities and Gaza’s civil defense, who are documenting cases in to support any legal claims that may arise.
|
| 48 |
-
|
| 49 |
-
The horror of losing loved ones without trace can add an extra layer of agony for families already suffering from loss, but unable to properly mourn.
|
| 50 |
-
|
| 51 |
-
Iman Abu Akar, a mental health professional affiliated with the Ma’an Development Center in Gaza, said that the absence of a body leads to a state of “ambiguous loss,” making closure almost impossible and prolonging the grieving process.
|
| 52 |
-
|
| 53 |
-
Even a small part of the deceased can help families find some peace and start the healing process, she told The Electronic Intifada.
|
| 54 |
-
|
| 55 |
-
For Hidaya and other grieving mothers, the absence of a body means the absence of closure, leaving them with perpetual pain and unanswered questions.
|
| 56 |
-
|
| 57 |
-
“I want any part of him, anything, even if it’s a tiny piece, to be able to believe that he is truly gone,” she said.
|
| 58 |
-
|
| 59 |
-
Mahmoud now lives alone, cared for by the adults around him. He misses his mother, he said.
|
| 60 |
-
|
| 61 |
-
“I wish I could have seen her one last time to say goodbye. If she had a grave, I would visit her every time I missed her.”

|
| 112 |
-
|
| 113 |
-
<p>She had heard news that <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/24/uncovering-of-mass-grave-at-gazas-nasser-hospital-what-you-need-to-know">hundreds of bodies</a> had been found in a mass grave within the complex after the Israeli military had retreated from the area on 7 April, having besieged the compound for weeks.</p>
|
| 114 |
-
|
| 115 |
-
<p>Abdulhamid had been a patient there and for five consecutive days Khuloud searched the corpses, a grizzly undertaking.</p>
|
| 116 |
-
|
| 117 |
-
<p>On the fifth day, she finally located his decomposing body.</p>
|
| 118 |
-
|
| 119 |
-
<p>“His body was completely decomposed and hard to identify,” Khuloud told The Electronic Intifada. “It seemed he had been buried naked, and I was only able to recognize him by the ring he wore on his left hand, which had my name, his name and our wedding date engraved on it.”</p>
|
| 120 |
-
|
| 121 |
-
<p>The mass grave – or graves, a total of three mass graves were found in the area – contained over 300 bodies, according to medical workers there. They were discovered following reports of mass arrests and mass killings during the military siege of the hospital, a siege that lasted on and off for three months with several raids into the compound.</p>
|
| 122 |
-
|
| 123 |
-
<p>In September, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reported that the rights group had documented <a href="https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6472/Amid-the-ongoing-genocide,-Euro-Med-Monitor-documents-the-most-prominent-mass-graves-in-Gaza">30 mass graves</a> out of more than 130 containing three or more bodies, that have been dug since October 2023.</p>
|
| 124 |
-
|
| 125 |
-
<p>Just last week, the International Criminal Court accused senior Israel leaders, Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant of war crimes, and the existence of such mass graves only bolsters the case for prosecution.</p>
|
| 126 |
-
|
| 127 |
-
<p>Many are dug by residents themselves, who have had no option but to bury their slain relatives and neighbors wherever they could.</p>
|
| 128 |
-
|
| 129 |
-
<p>But witness accounts suggest it was the Israeli military who buried the bodies at Nasser.</p>
|
| 130 |
-
|
| 131 |
-
<p>“My husband was receiving treatment at Nasser following a severe injury to his leg,” Khuloud said when The Electronic Intifada spoke to her last month.</p>
|
| 132 |
-
|
| 133 |
-
<p>He sustained the injury after Israeli <a href="https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/140198">airstrikes hit</a> a house next to the family’s on 19 December in the Bani Suhaila area east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, but in January, when the Israeli military <a href="https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/how-israeli-army-besieged-nasser-hospital">first besieged</a> the medical complex, his family lost all contact.</p>
|
| 134 |
-
|
| 135 |
-
<p>Khuloud said it was not until after Israeli forces withdrew on 7 April – after months of raids and sieges in the area – that she could go to the hospital, where she was told by a member of the staff that the Israeli army had detained and killed several of the patients and that perhaps her husband was one of them.</p>

<h2>Identified by his shoes</h2>
|
| 138 |
-
|
| 139 |
-
<p>Khalil al-Sayed’s son, Ahmed, 23, had been missing for two months.</p>
|
| 140 |
-
|
| 141 |
-
<p>Speaking to The Electronic Intifada in October, Khalil said his son had told him he was seeking refuge in the medical compound with friends thinking they would be safe from the Israeli attacks.</p>
|
| 142 |
-
|
| 143 |
-
<p>“After the Israeli army withdrew from the compound, I went to the tent where my son and his friends had been staying, but I found only rubble,” Khalil, 45, said.</p>
|
| 144 |
-
|
| 145 |
-
<p>“I found one of his friends a week later. He told me that my son had been executed by Israeli soldiers – two bullets directly at his head – because he did not have an ID card.”</p>
|
| 146 |
-
|
| 147 |
-
<p>Khalil was eventually able to locate his son’s decomposing body and identify him by his shirt and shoes.</p>
|
| 148 |
-
|
| 149 |
-
<p>“What did my son do to be killed and buried in such an immoral and inhumane way? What was his crime?” Khalil, who had fled from Gaza City to Khan Younis in November 2023, asked.</p>
|
| 150 |
-
|
| 151 |
-
<p>“He wasn’t armed; he sought shelter in the medical complex. But there is no safe place in Gaza. The occupation targets everything.”</p>
|
| 152 |
-
|
| 153 |
-
<p>Dr. Ahmed Abu Mustafa, who works at Nasser hospital, called for an international investigation into Israeli military conduct in the hospital.</p>
|
| 154 |
-
|
| 155 |
-
<p>“The discovery of mass graves shows the need for an independent international committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the killing of unarmed civilians,” he told The Electronic Intifada.</p>
|
| 156 |
-
|
| 157 |
-
<h2>Al-Shifa grave</h2>
|
| 158 |
-
|
| 159 |
-
<p>A mass grave was also discovered at <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/al-shifa-hospital">al-Shifa Hospital</a> in April after an Israeli withdrawal.</p>
|
| 160 |
-
|
| 161 |
-
<p>Hamza Nabhan had lost all contact with and knowledge of his 26-year-old son Ali during an Israeli raid on al-Shifa hospital in March.</p>
|
| 162 |
-
|
| 163 |
-
<p>“My son and I were arrested from my house adjacent to the hospital after the Israeli army stormed it. We were tied up, blindfolded with a piece of cloth, and placed inside an Israeli armored vehicle that took us to al-Shifa,” he said.</p>
|
| 164 |
-
|
| 165 |
-
<p>He was interrogated for two hours, he told The Electronic Intifada, and when he was released, he was separated from his son.</p>
|
| 166 |
-
|
| 167 |
-
<p>Hamza posted photos of his son in shops, near hospitals and on taxi windows in the hope someone might have any news.</p>
|
| 168 |
-
|
| 169 |
-
<p>When in April he heard news of a mass grave, he went to al-Shifa to search for his son. Eventually, he was able to recognize his son’s “almost decomposed” body by the shoes and wristwatch he was wearing.</p>
|
| 170 |
-
|
| 171 |
-
<p>“Despite the pain and sadness of losing him, I felt relief that I had finally found him,” Hamza said. “I buried him in the neighborhood cemetery after performing the funeral prayer.”</p>
|
| 172 |
-
|
| 173 |
-
<p>Al-Shifa hospital has been a regular target of Israel’s genocidal violence. Back in November 2023, Israel claimed, without evidence but with its own computer generated graphics, that Hamas had dug an underground command center under the hospital.</p>
|
| 174 |
-
|
| 175 |
-
<p>Despite several raids on the hospital, <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/israeli-hamas-command-center-al-shifa-hospital-falls-report-1234934784/">no evidence</a> of any such underground complex was ever presented.</p>
|
| 176 |
-
|
| 177 |
-
<p>Israel’s repeated attacks on the hospital have caused dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries, while the Israeli military has detained medical staff, patients and displaced people seeking safety in what is supposed to be a <a href="https://www.icrc.org/en/document/protection-hospitals-during-armed-conflicts-what-law-says">protected building</a> under international law.</p>
|
| 178 |
-
|
| 179 |
-
<p>Mohammed al-Mughair, of Gaza’s Civil Defense, said bodies found in the mass graves at Nasser and al-Shifa hospitals showed signs of torture. Some were found with their hands and feet bound, and even with medical IVs still attached, he said.</p>
|
| 180 |
-
|
| 181 |
-
<p>Others, he said, showed signs of mutilation.</p>
|
| 182 |
-
|
| 183 |
-
<p>“Some of the bodies had gunshot wounds to the head, suggesting they were executed in the field. Some were found wearing surgical attire, indicating they may have been buried alive.”</p>

after a two-week siege of the Nasser medical compound in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip on 21 April. </p><small class=\"credit\">\n<span class=\"field field-author\">Omar Ashtawy</span>\n<span class=\"field field-publisher\">APA images</span></small></figcaption></figure><p>On 21 April, Kholoud Nasser, 36, went to the Nasser Medical Complex in the southern Gaza Strip to search for the body of her husband, Abdulhamid.</p>\n\n<p>She had heard news that <a href=\"https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/24/uncovering-of-mass-grave-at-gazas-nasser-hospital-what-you-need-to-know\">hundreds of bodies</a> had been found in a mass grave within the complex after the Israeli military had retreated from the area on 7 April, having besieged the compound for weeks.</p>\n\n<p>Abdulhamid had been a patient there and for five consecutive days Khuloud searched the corpses, a grizzly undertaking.</p>\n\n<p>On the fifth day, she finally located his decomposing body.</p>\n\n<p>“His body was completely decomposed and hard to identify,” Khuloud told The Electronic Intifada. “It seemed he had been buried naked, and I was only able to recognize him by the ring he wore on his left hand, which had my name, his name and our wedding date engraved on it.”</p>\n\n<p>The mass grave – or graves, a total of three mass graves were found in the area – contained over 300 bodies, according to medical workers there. They were discovered following reports of mass arrests and mass killings during the military siege of the hospital, a siege that lasted on and off for three months with several raids into the compound.</p>\n\n<p>In September, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reported that the rights group had documented <a href=\"https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6472/Amid-the-ongoing-genocide,-Euro-Med-Monitor-documents-the-most-prominent-mass-graves-in-Gaza\">30 mass graves</a> out of more than 130 containing three or more bodies, that have been dug since October 2023.</p>\n\n<p>Just last week, the International Criminal Court accused senior Israel leaders, Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant of war crimes, and the existence of such mass graves only bolsters the case for prosecution.</p>\n\n<p>Many are dug by residents themselves, who have had no option but to bury their slain relatives and neighbors wherever they could.</p>\n\n<p>But witness accounts suggest it was the Israeli military who buried the bodies at Nasser.</p>\n\n<p>“My husband was receiving treatment at Nasser following a severe injury to his leg,” Khuloud said when The Electronic Intifada spoke to her last month.</p>\n\n<p>He sustained the injury after Israeli <a href=\"https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/140198\">airstrikes hit</a> a house next to the family’s on 19 December in the Bani Suhaila area east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, but in January, when the Israeli military <a href=\"https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/how-israeli-army-besieged-nasser-hospital\">first besieged</a> the medical complex, his family lost all contact.</p>\n\n<p>Khuloud said it was not until after Israeli forces withdrew on 7 April – after months of raids and sieges in the area – that she could go to the hospital, where she was told by a member of the staff that the Israeli army had detained and killed several of the patients and that perhaps her husband was one of them.</p>\n\n<h2>Identified by his shoes</h2>\n\n<p>Khalil al-Sayed’s son, Ahmed, 23, had been missing for two months.</p>\n\n<p>Speaking to The Electronic Intifada in October, Khalil said his son had told him he was seeking refuge in the medical compound with friends thinking they would be safe from the Israeli attacks.</p>\n\n<p>“After the Israeli army withdrew from the compound, I went to the tent where my son and his friends had been staying, but I found only rubble,” Khalil, 45, said.</p>\n\n<p>“I found one of his friends a week later. He told me that my son had been executed by Israeli soldiers – two bullets directly at his head – because he did not have an ID card.”</p>\n\n<p>Khalil was eventually able to locate his son’s decomposing body and identify him by his shirt and shoes.</p>\n\n<p>“What did my son do to be killed and buried in such an immoral and inhumane way? What was his crime?” Khalil, who had fled from Gaza City to Khan Younis in November 2023, asked.</p>\n\n<p>“He wasn’t armed; he sought shelter in the medical complex. But there is no safe place in Gaza. The occupation targets everything.”</p>\n\n<p>Dr. Ahmed Abu Mustafa, who works at Nasser hospital, called for an international investigation into Israeli military conduct in the hospital.</p>\n\n<p>“The discovery of mass graves shows the need for an independent international committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the killing of unarmed civilians,” he told The Electronic Intifada.</p>\n\n<h2>Al-Shifa grave</h2>\n\n<p>A mass grave was also discovered at <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/al-shifa-hospital\">al-Shifa Hospital</a> in April after an Israeli withdrawal.</p>\n\n<p>Hamza Nabhan had lost all contact with and knowledge of his 26-year-old son Ali during an Israeli raid on al-Shifa hospital in March.</p>\n\n<p>“My son and I were arrested from my house adjacent to the hospital after the Israeli army stormed it. We were tied up, blindfolded with a piece of cloth, and placed inside an Israeli armored vehicle that took us to al-Shifa,” he said.</p>\n\n<p>He was interrogated for two hours, he told The Electronic Intifada, and when he was released, he was separated from his son.</p>\n\n<p>Hamza posted photos of his son in shops, near hospitals and on taxi windows in the hope someone might have any news.</p>\n\n<p>When in April he heard news of a mass grave, he went to al-Shifa to search for his son. Eventually, he was able to recognize his son’s “almost decomposed” body by the shoes and wristwatch he was wearing.</p>\n\n<p>“Despite the pain and sadness of losing him, I felt relief that I had finally found him,” Hamza said. “I buried him in the neighborhood cemetery after performing the funeral prayer.”</p>\n\n<p>Al-Shifa hospital has been a regular target of Israel’s genocidal violence. Back in November 2023, Israel claimed, without evidence but with its own computer generated graphics, that Hamas had dug an underground command center under the hospital.</p>\n\n<p>Despite several raids on the hospital, <a href=\"https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/israeli-hamas-command-center-al-shifa-hospital-falls-report-1234934784/\">no evidence</a> of any such underground complex was ever presented.</p>\n\n<p>Israel’s repeated attacks on the hospital have caused dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries, while the Israeli military has detained medical staff, patients and displaced people seeking safety in what is supposed to be a <a href=\"https://www.icrc.org/en/document/protection-hospitals-during-armed-conflicts-what-law-says\">protected building</a> under international law.</p>\n\n<p>Mohammed al-Mughair, of Gaza’s Civil Defense, said bodies found in the mass graves at Nasser and al-Shifa hospitals showed signs of torture. Some were found with their hands and feet bound, and even with medical IVs still attached, he said.</p>\n\n<p>Others, he said, showed signs of mutilation.</p>\n\n<p>“Some of the bodies had gunshot wounds to the head, suggesting they were executed in the field. Some were found wearing surgical attire, indicating they may have been buried alive.”</p>\n\n<p><em>Taghreed Ali is a journalist based in Gaza.</em></p> <h3 class=\"field-label field field-tag\">\n <i

Health workers unearth bodies buried by Israeli forces after a two-week siege of the Nasser medical compound in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip on 21 April.
|
| 2 |

|

-
APA imagesOn 21 April, Kholoud Nasser, 36, went to the Nasser Medical Complex in the southern Gaza Strip to search for the body of her husband, Abdulhamid.
|
| 4 |
-
|
| 5 |
-
She had heard news that hundreds of bodies had been found in a mass grave within the complex after the Israeli military had retreated from the area on 7 April, having besieged the compound for weeks.
|
| 6 |
-
|
| 7 |
-
Abdulhamid had been a patient there and for five consecutive days Khuloud searched the corpses, a grizzly undertaking.
|
| 8 |
-
|
| 9 |
-
On the fifth day, she finally located his decomposing body.
|
| 10 |
-
|
| 11 |
-
“His body was completely decomposed and hard to identify,” Khuloud told The Electronic Intifada. “It seemed he had been buried naked, and I was only able to recognize him by the ring he wore on his left hand, which had my name, his name and our wedding date engraved on it.”
|
| 12 |
-
|
| 13 |
-
The mass grave – or graves, a total of three mass graves were found in the area – contained over 300 bodies, according to medical workers there. They were discovered following reports of mass arrests and mass killings during the military siege of the hospital, a siege that lasted on and off for three months with several raids into the compound.
|
| 14 |
-
|
| 15 |
-
In September, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reported that the rights group had documented 30 mass graves out of more than 130 containing three or more bodies, that have been dug since October 2023.
|
| 16 |
-
|
| 17 |
-
Just last week, the International Criminal Court accused senior Israel leaders, Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant of war crimes, and the existence of such mass graves only bolsters the case for prosecution.
|
| 18 |
-
|
| 19 |
-
Many are dug by residents themselves, who have had no option but to bury their slain relatives and neighbors wherever they could.
|
| 20 |
-
|
| 21 |
-
But witness accounts suggest it was the Israeli military who buried the bodies at Nasser.
|
| 22 |
-
|
| 23 |
-
“My husband was receiving treatment at Nasser following a severe injury to his leg,” Khuloud said when The Electronic Intifada spoke to her last month.
|
| 24 |
-
|
| 25 |
-
He sustained the injury after Israeli airstrikes hit a house next to the family’s on 19 December in the Bani Suhaila area east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, but in January, when the Israeli military first besieged the medical complex, his family lost all contact.
|
| 26 |
-
|
| 27 |
-
Khuloud said it was not until after Israeli forces withdrew on 7 April – after months of raids and sieges in the area – that she could go to the hospital, where she was told by a member of the staff that the Israeli army had detained and killed several of the patients and that perhaps her husband was one of them.

Identified by his shoes
|

-
Khalil al-Sayed’s son, Ahmed, 23, had been missing for two months.
|
| 32 |
-
|
| 33 |
-
Speaking to The Electronic Intifada in October, Khalil said his son had told him he was seeking refuge in the medical compound with friends thinking they would be safe from the Israeli attacks.
|
| 34 |
-
|
| 35 |
-
“After the Israeli army withdrew from the compound, I went to the tent where my son and his friends had been staying, but I found only rubble,” Khalil, 45, said.
|
| 36 |
-
|
| 37 |
-
“I found one of his friends a week later. He told me that my son had been executed by Israeli soldiers – two bullets directly at his head – because he did not have an ID card.”
|
| 38 |
-
|
| 39 |
-
Khalil was eventually able to locate his son’s decomposing body and identify him by his shirt and shoes.
|
| 40 |
-
|
| 41 |
-
“What did my son do to be killed and buried in such an immoral and inhumane way? What was his crime?” Khalil, who had fled from Gaza City to Khan Younis in November 2023, asked.
|
| 42 |
-
|
| 43 |
-
“He wasn’t armed; he sought shelter in the medical complex. But there is no safe place in Gaza. The occupation targets everything.”
|
| 44 |
-
|
| 45 |
-
Dr. Ahmed Abu Mustafa, who works at Nasser hospital, called for an international investigation into Israeli military conduct in the hospital.
|
| 46 |
-
|
| 47 |
-
“The discovery of mass graves shows the need for an independent international committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the killing of unarmed civilians,” he told The Electronic Intifada.
|

Al-Shifa grave
|
| 50 |
-
|
| 51 |
-
A mass grave was also discovered at al-Shifa Hospital in April after an Israeli withdrawal.
|
| 52 |
-
|
| 53 |
-
Hamza Nabhan had lost all contact with and knowledge of his 26-year-old son Ali during an Israeli raid on al-Shifa hospital in March.
|
| 54 |
-
|
| 55 |
-
“My son and I were arrested from my house adjacent to the hospital after the Israeli army stormed it. We were tied up, blindfolded with a piece of cloth, and placed inside an Israeli armored vehicle that took us to al-Shifa,” he said.
|
| 56 |
-
|
| 57 |
-
He was interrogated for two hours, he told The Electronic Intifada, and when he was released, he was separated from his son.
|
| 58 |
-
|
| 59 |
-
Hamza posted photos of his son in shops, near hospitals and on taxi windows in the hope someone might have any news.
|
| 60 |
-
|
| 61 |
-
When in April he heard news of a mass grave, he went to al-Shifa to search for his son. Eventually, he was able to recognize his son’s “almost decomposed” body by the shoes and wristwatch he was wearing.
|
| 62 |
-
|
| 63 |
-
“Despite the pain and sadness of losing him, I felt relief that I had finally found him,” Hamza said. “I buried him in the neighborhood cemetery after performing the funeral prayer.”
|
| 64 |
-
|
| 65 |
-
Al-Shifa hospital has been a regular target of Israel’s genocidal violence. Back in November 2023, Israel claimed, without evidence but with its own computer generated graphics, that Hamas had dug an underground command center under the hospital.
|
| 66 |
-
|
| 67 |
-
Despite several raids on the hospital, no evidence of any such underground complex was ever presented.
|
| 68 |
-
|
| 69 |
-
Israel’s repeated attacks on the hospital have caused dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries, while the Israeli military has detained medical staff, patients and displaced people seeking safety in what is supposed to be a protected building under international law.
|
| 70 |
-
|
| 71 |
-
Mohammed al-Mughair, of Gaza’s Civil Defense, said bodies found in the mass graves at Nasser and al-Shifa hospitals showed signs of torture. Some were found with their hands and feet bound, and even with medical IVs still attached, he said.
|
| 72 |
-
|
| 73 |
-
Others, he said, showed signs of mutilation.
|
| 74 |
-
|
| 75 |
-
“Some of the bodies had gunshot wounds to the head, suggesting they were executed in the field. Some were found wearing surgical attire, indicating they may have been buried alive.”

<p>An Israeli woman taken captive by Palestinian fighters on 7 October 2023 is grateful to the helicopter pilot who shot at the vehicle she was riding in, killing another Israeli as well as all of their abductors, Israel’s <a href="https://www.mako.co.il/news-military/2024_q1/Article-104057ff43ead81026.htm">Channel 12 reported last month</a>.</p>
|
| 115 |
-
|
| 116 |
-
<p>Shani Goren, a 29-year-old resident of Kibbutz Nir Oz, was taken from her home at gunpoint by Palestinian fighters and transported to the Gaza Strip, where she was held for 55 days. She was released on 30 November.</p>
|
| 117 |
-
|
| 118 |
-
<p>Before she reached Gaza, however, a vehicle carrying Goren away came under heavy fire from an Israeli combat helicopter.</p>
|
| 119 |
-
|
| 120 |
-
<p>When the gunfire ceased, Goren realized that the helicopter’s high-caliber bullets had killed all of her abductors, as well as one Israeli woman, fellow Nir Oz resident Efrat Katz.</p>
|
| 121 |
-
|
| 122 |
-
<p>“My pants are all ripped and covered in blood. I raise my head and see dominoes,” Goren recalled to Ilana Dayan, host of Channel 12’s prestigious investigative program <em>Uvda</em> – and by coincidence also her cousin. “All the terrorists – dead.”</p>
|
| 123 |
-
|
| 124 |
-
<p>You can watch part of Goren’s account with English subtitles in the video above <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPPD_uoz6f0">or on Youtube</a>. A transcript is below.</p>
|
| 125 |
-
|
| 126 |
-
<p>Goren and the other Israeli captives who survived the volley of helicopter gunfire were abducted again minutes later by other Palestinians returning from Nir Oz on one of the tractors of the kibbutz.</p>
|
| 127 |
-
|
| 128 |
-
<p>Only one woman, 63-year-old Neomit Dekel-Chen, avoided their fate by pretending to be mortally wounded from the helicopter gunfire.</p>

-
<p>On 7 October, the Israeli army <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/israeli-hq-ordered-troops-shoot-israeli-captives-7-october">implemented</a> its controversial <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/hannibal-directive">Hannibal directive</a>, which amounts to an order to assassinate Israeli captives to avoid having to barter for their lives by freeing Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.</p>
|
| 131 |
-
|
| 132 |
-
<p>At Kibbutz Be’eri, another Israeli colonial settlement near the Gaza boundary fence, the Israeli army attacked a home containing 14 civilian captives and several dozen Hamas fighters.</p>
|
| 133 |
-
|
| 134 |
-
<p>All but one of the Qassam fighters and all but two of the captives were killed in the intense crossfire. At least three of the civilians, <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/israeli-child-burned-completely-israeli-tank-fire-kibbutz/41706">including 12-year-old Liel Hatsroni</a>, were incinerated by Israeli tank shells fired at the house.</p>
|
| 135 |

|
| 136 |
-
<p>As The Electronic Intifada <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/israeli-general-killed-israelis-7-october-then-lied-about-it/43176">previously reported</a>, Barak Hiram, the Israeli general who gave the order to fire at the house, told a fabricated story in an attempt to cover up this incident, when Channel 12’s Ilana Dayan interviewed him in October.</p>

<p>The families of the Israeli civilians killed by Israeli army fire at Kibbutz Be’eri have <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-06/ty-article/.premium/families-of-israelis-killed-in-beeri-home-hit-by-tank-fire-on-october-7-demand-probe/0000018c-de77-daf6-a5df-df7f22d60000">demanded</a> that the military immediately <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-02-06/ty-article/.premium/idf-probing-death-of-12-hostages-in-beeri-house-shelled-on-orders-of-senior-officer/0000018d-7b6c-d008-a9cd-fbfdb0040000">investigate</a> the incident and the decision to use overwhelming firepower at the cost of the lives of their loved ones.</p>

<p>Israeli military sources have revealed that on 7 October attack helicopters, along with armed drones, swarmed the skies above southern Israel and around Gaza.</p>
|
| 141 |
-
|
| 142 |
-
<p>Israeli news outlet <em>Ynet</em> <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/shoot-everything-how-israeli-pilots-killed-their-own-civilians">reported in November</a> how “28 fighter helicopters shot over the course of the day all of the ammunition in their bellies, in renewed runs to rearm.”</p>
|
| 143 |
-
|
| 144 |
-
<p><em>Ynet</em> mentions in particular Lieutenant Colonel A., the commander of Squadron 190, who around mid-morning of 7 October “instructed the other fighters in the air to shoot at everything they see in the area of the fence.”</p>
|

<p>At least one survivor of the same Israeli helicopter attack that killed Nir Oz resident Efrat Katz has blasted Israel’s repeated readiness to sacrifice the lives of its citizens – on the day she was taken, while she was held in Gaza, and ever since her return home on 27 November.</p>
|
| 149 |
-
|
| 150 |
-
<p>In a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet the week after her release, Sharon Cunio assailed the Israeli leaders over their sanctioning of the Hannibal directive and pleaded with them to take no more risks with the life of her husband David Cunio, still held in Gaza.</p>
|
| 151 |
-
|
| 152 |
-
<p>“The feeling we had there is that no one is doing anything for us. The fact is that I was in a hiding place that was bombed, and we were forced to be smuggled out of there, wounded. Not counting the helicopter that shot at us on the way to Gaza. You claim there is intelligence, but the fact is we were bombed,” Cunio told them, <a href="https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/hkp00rchsp">according to Israeli news outlet <em>Ynet</em></a>, which obtained recordings of the contentious meeting.</p>
|
| 153 |
-
|
| 154 |
-
<p>“My husband was separated from us three days before we returned to Israel and was taken to the tunnels,” Cunio told the members of the war cabinet. “And you are talking about flooding the tunnels with seawater? You are bombing the route of the tunnels in the area they are being held in.”</p>
|
| 155 |
-
|
| 156 |
-
<p>Cunio’s anger over Israel’s repeated implementation of the Hannibal directive is not shared by Goren, however, who was taken to Gaza on the same tuk tuk – a small motorized utility vehicle.</p>
|
| 157 |
-
|
| 158 |
-
<p>Asked what words she has for the helicopter pilot that sprayed them with gunfire, Goren replied with appreciation – and regret that he did not resume his fire at the second group of Palestinians that carried them off to Gaza.</p>
|
| 159 |
-
|
| 160 |
-
<p>“Thank you – and why didn’t you stay?” Goren told Channel 12. “Also, why weren’t you there, here, to take down everyone here? If one helicopter had fired, everything would be okay. We would never have gotten to Gaza.”</p>

<p>Goren’s appreciation is all the more striking since she appears to understand that she could have been killed just like Efrat Katz if the helicopter had returned.</p>
|
| 163 |
-
|
| 164 |
-
<p>“I was also trying to hide, to get inside as much as possible,” Goren explains to Ilana Dayan as they watch footage of the second vehicle laden with people that would eventually make it to Gaza. “At that moment my fear was if the helicopter shot at us again. And this time my back is exposed. If he shoots again, it’s me who dies.”</p>
|
| 165 |
-
|
| 166 |
-
<p>Goren also described how on 23 October she and other Israelis held in Gaza were hurriedly evacuated by their Palestinian captors from the home they were being kept in amid a warning of imminent bombing, presumably by the Israeli air force.</p>

<p>Doron Katz-Asher and her two little girls Raz and Aviv were in the first vehicle with Efrat Katz, Doron’s mother, and Shani Goren when the helicopter attacked.

Katz-Asher <a href="https://www.mako.co.il/news-israel/2023_q4/Article-92812c6e6637c81027.htm">told Channel 12</a> in a December interview what went through her head the moment after the Israeli helicopter opened fire, killing her mother and injuring Katz-Asher and her 2-year-old Aviv.</p>
|
| 185 |
-
|
| 186 |
-
<p>“It sounds far-fetched, but I was in a war movie with shooting and terrorists and I wanted so badly to reach Gaza, for them to take me to a safe place, in quotes, where I won’t be under fire,” Katz-Asher said. “And where they’ll maybe even treat my wounds.”</p>
|
| 187 |
-
|
| 188 |
-
<p>“It was even a kind of relief when we finally arrived [in Gaza] alive,” Katz-Asher added.</p>
|
| 189 |
-
|
| 190 |
-
<p>Katz-Asher and her two girls would <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/taken-captive-3-generations-unaccounted-for-these-are-the-gates-of-hell/">return home</a> on 24 November, as part of the temporary ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal that month.</p>
|
| 191 |
-
|
| 192 |
-
<p>While she was in Gaza, Katz-Asher said she couldn’t help feeling that “we are being abandoned” by Israeli leaders and “that maybe they are only occupied with vengeance.”</p>
|
| 193 |
-
|
| 194 |
-
<p>The Israeli military has admitted to an “immense and complex quantity” of so-called friendly fire incidents on 7 October, in which Israeli forces fired on their own citizens.</p>
|
| 195 |
-
|
| 196 |
-
<p><a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/israel-admits-immense-amount-friendly-fire-7-october">According</a> to <em>Ynet</em>, however, the military is of the view that “it would not be morally sound to investigate” them.</p>
|
| 197 |
-
|
| 198 |
-
<p>Regarding Efrat Katz, the army has said, “From an examination of the incident described, no reply can be made with certainty in response to the claims of the family at this stage.”</p>
|
| 199 |
-
|
| 200 |
-
<p>As of yet, there is no exact or official figure for how many of the roughly 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals Israel says died on that day were actually killed by Israeli forces.</p>
|
| 201 |
-
|
| 202 |
-
<p>It may be that Katz, as a kibbutz resident, was seen as a leftist – at least in Israeli terms – and therefore considered even more disposable.</p>
|
| 203 |
-
|
| 204 |
-
<h2>Living on stolen land</h2>
|
| 205 |
-
|
| 206 |
-
<p>Although Zionists marketed the kibbutzim to the world as idealistic, socialist collective farms, the reality is that they were Jewish-only colonial settlements often built on land brutally <a href="https://www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1654492">conquered</a> from ethnically cleansed Palestinians.</p>
|
| 207 |
-
|
| 208 |
-
<p>Nir Oz and several other nearby Zionist colonies were built on land that belonged to the Abu Sitta family, in a community called al-Main, until they were expelled by the Zionist colonists to Gaza during the Nakba.</p>
|
| 209 |
-
|
| 210 |
-
<p>Most of these settlements were established as colonial outposts or military garrisons to <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-10-13/ty-article-magazine/.premium/the-origins-of-the-gaza-strip-and-the-israeli-communities-nestled-by-it/0000018b-23fe-d680-af9b-23fe94490000">consolidate the conquests</a> of the new Zionist settler-colonial state.</p>
|
| 211 |
-
|
| 212 |
-
<p>Al-Main was attacked by Zionist militias on 14 May 1948. The Haganah, the Zionist armed group that later became the Israeli army, “destroyed and burned homes, demolished the school that was built in 1920, blew up the motorized well and the flour mill,” <a href="https://mondoweiss.net/2019/09/denial-israeli-kibbutz/">wrote</a> Salman Abu Sitta, the renowned Palestinian geographer and a survivor of the ethnic cleansing.</p>
|
| 213 |
-
|
| 214 |
-
<p>“They were resisted bravely for several hours by 15 Palestinian defenders armed by old rifles,” Abu Sitta recounts. “As a child, I witnessed the smoldering remains of my village while I was huddled with other children and women in a nearby ravine. I never saw a Jew before and did not know who the attackers were or why they came to destroy our life.”</p>
|
| 215 |
-
|
| 216 |
-
<p>So began Abu Sitta’s life as a refugee.</p>
|
| 217 |
-
|
| 218 |
-
<p>Five years ago, De-Colonizer, a project which aims to educate about the Nakba, set up an exhibit in the last house that is still standing in al-Main and invited Israeli residents of the surrounding kibbutzim to view it.</p>
|
| 219 |
-
|
| 220 |
-
<p>“The angriest comments and indeed threats, came from an old kibbutznik, over 80, who witnessed and participated in the attack on al-Main,” Abu Sitta observed.</p>
|
| 221 |
-
|
| 222 |
-
<p>Other settlers similarly expressed anger, denial and defiance at being confronted with the reality of their presence on land forcibly taken from people living as refugees, caged in a ghetto just a few miles away.</p>
|
| 223 |
-
|
| 224 |
-
<p>But several people who visited the exhibit were more thoughtful, one of them none other than Nir Oz resident Efrat Katz.</p>
|
| 225 |
-
|
| 226 |
-
<p>“What I’ve seen here today was very moving and even painful. In spite of living here more than 35 years, I feel the need and the hope to return to the land and revive it with the past emotions, to revive it with the culture and habits of you, the residents,” Katz <a href="https://www.de-colonizer.org/exhibit-al-ma-in">said</a> in a handwritten note.</p>
|
| 227 |
-
|
| 228 |
-
<p>“A land is not a brick. A land is value, it is roots, it is a love for a place. There’s no room for deportation. My heart is with you.”</p>
|
| 229 |
-
|
| 230 |
-
<p>On 7 October 2023, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the Palestinians expelled in 1948 came back to their land, executing a devastating assault against the Israeli military bases and colonial settlements that had forcibly usurped their place and the lives they might have lived.</p>
|
| 231 |
-
|
| 232 |
-
<p>“I could have been one of those who broke through the fence had I been much younger and was still living in the concentration camp called the Gaza Strip,” Salman Abu Sitta, now in his 80s, <a href="https://mondoweiss.net/2024/01/i-could-have-been-one-of-those-who-broke-through-the-siege-on-october-7/">wrote</a> in January.</p>
|
| 233 |
-
|
| 234 |
-
<p>Efrat Katz died on that day at the hands of those who were supposedly charged with protecting her.</p>
|
| 235 |
-
|
| 236 |
-
<h2>Opportunity for a crime that didn’t happen</h2>
|
| 237 |
-
|
| 238 |
-
<p>Shani Goren’s recollections of her capture on 7 October seem to be incongruous with the Israeli government’s allegations that Palestinian fighters were ordered by their commanders to rape Israeli women during the attack.</p>
|
| 239 |
-
|
| 240 |
-
<p>When the kibbutz came under attack early on Saturday morning, Goren followed phone advice from her brother Amit and barricaded herself in her bedroom. When five Palestinian fighters arrived and entered her bedroom, they found her wearing next to no clothes. “I was wearing underwear, no bra, and a crop top, what I usually wear to bed,” Goren told Dayan.</p>
|
| 241 |
-
|
| 242 |
-
<p>One of the fighters rifled through her wardrobe, pulled out leg coverings and passed them to her. “He threw tights at me,” Goren recalled. “He told me: ‘Get dressed.’”</p>
|
| 243 |
-
|
| 244 |
-
<p>At the time, Palestinian fighters had complete control of Kibbutz Nir Oz. “I look to either side – there are millions of them,” Goren remembers. “No one else. I say: ‘Where is the army?’”</p>
|
| 245 |
-
|
| 246 |
-
<p>If the Palestinian fighters had really been instructed to commit sex crimes on that day, they could have violated Goren with alarming ease. Instead, they led her on a walk around the village, seemingly to celebrate their conquest of the kibbutz.</p>
|
| 247 |
-
|
| 248 |
-
<p>Channel 12’s Dayan characterized it as “a kind of victory lap through the paths of Nir Oz.”</p>
|
| 249 |
-
|
| 250 |
-
<p>Hoping to calm her nerves, Goren asked the leader of the Palestinians who had abducted her for a cigarette. He then approached another fighter, secured a cigarette for her, and allowed her to smoke it. After a short time, another fighter yelled at her and she was forced to put it out.</p>
|
| 251 |
-
|
| 252 |
-
<p>The fact that a scantily clad 29-year-old Israeli woman was not sexually assaulted when her captors had ample opportunity to do so, or during her nearly two months of captivity in Gaza, cannot by itself prove that no sex crime occurred anywhere else on the battlefield that day.</p>
|
| 253 |
-
|
| 254 |
-
<p>But it does provide additional context against which to evaluate the Israeli <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/watch-debunking-israels-mass-rape-propaganda">claims</a> – made on the basis of <a href="https://theintercept.com/2024/03/04/nyt-october-7-sexual-violence-kibbutz-beeri/">debunked</a> and <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/watch-ny-times-investigation-mass-rape-hamas-falls-apart">discredited</a> <a href="https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schwartz-october-7/">accounts</a> and thus far presented <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/ny-times-found-no-7-october-rape-victims-reporter-admits">without any forensic evidence or first-person testimony</a> – that such crimes were systematic, pre-planned and were perpetrated on the order of Hamas commanders “as a weapon of war.”</p>
|
| 255 |
-
|
| 256 |
-
<p>In this respect, Goren’s recollections of her experience can be added to those of <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/tags/yasmin-porat">Yasmin Porat</a>, one of the only two Israelis to survive the shelling of the home ordered by General Barak Hiram at Kibbutz Be’eri.</p>
|
| 257 |
-
|
| 258 |
-
<p>In an <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/israeli-forces-shot-their-own-civilians-kibbutz-survivor-says/38861">interview</a> with Israeli state radio in October, Porat recounted how the dozens of Palestinian fighters had treated her and the other civilians they were holding “humanely.”</p>
|
| 259 |
-
|
| 260 |
-
<p>She insisted that the fighters intended to “kidnap us to Gaza. Not to murder us.”</p>
|
| 261 |
-
|
| 262 |
-
<p>“It was very frightening but no one treated us violently,” Porat said. “Luckily nothing happened to me like what I heard in the media.”</p>

</ul><p>Voiceover: It’s 6:45 am and this is a special news broadcast in the wake of a volley of missiles and rockets shot into Israeli territory.</p>
|
| 272 |
-
|
| 273 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I call [my brother] Amit and he tells me: Get up, lock the door, shut everything, do not step out of the house. Lift the handle of the safe room and stay there.</p>
|
| 274 |
-
|
| 275 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: Her brother Amit was not in Nir Oz that Saturday. Her sister Shira was at the kibbutz, as was her good friend Arbel Yahud, still at her home at this stage.</p>
|
| 276 |
-
|
| 277 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I spoke with Arbel, we were both stressed. We couldn’t speak. We said we loved each other. We hoped they wouldn’t reach us and nothing would happen.</p>
|
| 278 |
-
|
| 279 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: From that moment she was on the line with her brother’s partner the whole time.</p>
|
| 280 |
-
|
| 281 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Nofar called me, I spoke with her for two hours.</p>
|
| 282 |
-
|
| 283 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You just held each other on the line?</p>
|
| 284 |
-
|
| 285 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, later she told me it had been two hours. From my perspective we spoke for half an hour. I tell her: “I’m scared” and she says: “Breathe.” And then suddenly there were noises in the house. I whisper to her: “Nofar they’re here! They’re here!” She tells me: “Okay. Be quiet. Breathe. I’m with you on the line.” I was covered under the blanket. Crunched up, trying to stay close to the closet, in case they come. And then the door was opened quietly and they tossed in a grenade. I tell her: “They threw something at me, they threw a grenade!” Luckily for me the grenade did not explode. And after a few seconds they came in.</p>
|
| 286 |
-
|
| 287 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: This is the safe room, your bedroom is also the safe room.</p>
|
| 288 |
-
|
| 289 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, yes. They threw the grenade in this area and then four of them came in over here.</p>
|
| 290 |
-
|
| 291 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: And you are still lying down?</p>
|
| 292 |
-
|
| 293 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I am in the bed, sitting. He makes this motion [crosses arms to form an X] – supposedly a sign of captivity. I realized this later when I reached Gaza. The guy in the house where we were did the same motion. I asked him: “What are you doing? What does that mean?” He tells me: “It means captivity.” I hadn’t understood what they wanted from me. So I resisted and every time I resisted, another one would approach me with his weapon.</p>
|
| 294 |
-
|
| 295 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: So you had four gun barrels trained on you?</p>
|
| 296 |
-
|
| 297 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes and another one who started emptying out my closet. In the end he threw tights at me. He told me: “Get dressed.” Because I was wearing underwear, no bra, and a crop top, what I usually wear to bed. He says, “Get dressed” and points down to the flip-flops.</p>
|
| 298 |
-
|
| 299 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Good God.</p>
|
| 300 |
-
|
| 301 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>
|
| 302 |
-
|
| 303 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Were they calm or nervous?</p>
|
| 304 |
-
|
| 305 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: He was nervous and stressed out, but he didn’t take it out on me. Agitated, he snatched the phone from my hand and pocketed it. He did this motion again [crosses arms to form an X]. Every time I said: “No no no!” They point more and more weapons at me. So I look at them in tears, in fear, begging for my life. I look at the weapon that is very close to me. And then the one negotiating with me knocked the weapon away from me. And then every time he tried to pick me up, I resisted. They just pulled me out.</p>
|
| 306 |
-
|
| 307 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Did you manage to say goodbye to anyone?</p>
|
| 308 |
-
|
| 309 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: No I didn’t say goodbye to anyone. I didn’t think something like this could happen.</p>
|
| 310 |
-
|
| 311 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: And what is this room to you now?</p>
|
| 312 |
-
|
| 313 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Defiled – for me it’s beyond the pale.</p>
|
| 314 |
-
|
| 315 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: It’s no longer your home?</p>
|
| 316 |
-
|
| 317 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: No. My home was broken on 7 October.</p>
|
| 318 |
-
|
| 319 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You walked this way.</p>
|
| 320 |
-
|
| 321 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: They took me that way. He grabbed me by the hand and we walked around. We walked around so he could show me –</p>
|
| 322 |
-
|
| 323 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: – to show her how they had conquered her kibbutz.</p>
|
| 324 |
-
|
| 325 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I look to either side – there are millions of them.</p>
|
| 326 |
-
|
| 327 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You see only terrorists.</p>
|
| 328 |
-
|
| 329 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, no one else. I say: “Where is the army? What’s happening?”</p>
|
| 330 |
-
|
| 331 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: She is alone with five terrorists who take her on a kind of victory lap through the paths of Nir Oz.</p>
|
| 332 |
-
|
| 333 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I see that whole row of houses torched. There were tons more there.</p>
|
| 334 |
-
|
| 335 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Tons more terrorists?</p>
|
| 336 |
-
|
| 337 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>
|
| 338 |
-
|
| 339 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Meanwhile you saw no other kibbutz members?</p>
|
| 340 |
-
|
| 341 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: None, I only saw them, everywhere, emerging from every direction. I don’t remember where we got to, there was someone else there. I beg him: “I want a cigarette. I can’t breathe, I want a cigarette.”</p>
|
| 342 |
-
|
| 343 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You tell him this?</p>
|
| 344 |
-
|
| 345 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. He tells me: “No, no there are no cigarettes.”</p>
|
| 346 |
-
|
| 347 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Wow you are unbelievable.</p>
|
| 348 |
-
|
| 349 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: And then he gives me a cigarette.</p>
|
| 350 |
-
|
| 351 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You manage to get a cigarette from him?</p>
|
| 352 |
-
|
| 353 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes a mob passed through, he got a cigarette from one of them and gave it to me. After two drags, a huge guy with a beard arrived and yelled at me to drop the cigarette.</p>
|
| 354 |
-
|
| 355 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: No more cigarette.</p>
|
| 356 |
-
|
| 357 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yeah, no more cigarette. At a certain stage I see Doron and her daughters.</p>
|
| 358 |
-
|
| 359 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You see they are with terrorists?</p>
|
| 360 |
-
|
| 361 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>
|
| 362 |
-
|
| 363 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Doron came here to visit her mother Efrat.</p>
|
| 364 |
-
|
| 365 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes she came to visit her mom.</p>
|
| 366 |
-
|
| 367 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: I imagine you know Efrat for many years, she’s an old timer.</p>
|
| 368 |
-
|
| 369 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, Efrat is a neighbor of my mom. Doron as well, I knew her better when we were young.</p>

<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: For the first time she sees a familiar face in this hellscape: Doron Katz with her mother Efrat holding Doron’s two small girls.</p>
|
| 372 |
-
|
| 373 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: She screams out: “Shani! Shani!” And I went to them, I joined them. He leaves me and I am appended to them. I took … Doron tells me: “Take Raz from Efrat so she won’t be burdened.”</p>
|
| 374 |
-
|
| 375 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Raz is the older one.</p>
|
| 376 |
-
|
| 377 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, I took Raz. The girls are panicking because they don’t know what’s going on. Then ahead of us was the vineyard, that’s where they gathered us.</p>
|
| 378 |
-
|
| 379 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: Only when we see her here can we maybe begin to understand what she went through in those moments when the paths of the kibbutz where she was born and raised become the place from which she is kidnapped to Gaza.</p>
|
| 380 |
-
|
| 381 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Everything was aflame. The whole way we saw burnt houses.</p>
|
| 382 |
-
|
| 383 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: They’re visible here.</p>
|
| 384 |
-
|
| 385 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. They gathered us here on the dirt path. There was a tuk tuk waiting on the road.</p>
|
| 386 |
-
|
| 387 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: The vehicle approaching them is a motorbike pulling a flatbed and it stops next to the terrorists. They intend to load the captives onto it when suddenly the code red siren is heard.</p>
|
| 388 |
-
|
| 389 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: So we ran to the shelter. There too there were a few seconds –</p>
|
| 390 |
-
|
| 391 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: With the terrorists?</p>
|
| 392 |
-
|
| 393 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes they ran in after us. Before the code red even ended they told us: “Come on, come on.”</p>
|
| 394 |
-
|
| 395 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: By now she is in the tuk tuk’s flatbed with Efrat, Efrat’s daughter Doron and Doron’s two little girls.</p>
|
| 396 |
-
|
| 397 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: We sit inside. Suddenly we see Neomit also being led. They load her in with us.</p>
|
| 398 |
-
|
| 399 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: Neomit Dekel-Chen, 63, head of landscaping at Nir Oz is already in the vehicle. Seconds later, David Cunio and one of his twin daughters were also dragged there.</p>
|
| 400 |
-
|
| 401 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: They try to start the engine. Suddenly we see Sharon being led with two others.</p>
|
| 402 |
-
|
| 403 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: The mother without the second daughter?</p>
|
| 404 |
-
|
| 405 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Without the second daughter. And then David shouts: “That’s my wife! That’s my wife! Wait!” They load her on as well. We sit in the flatbed. The terrorists sit on the sides, they surround us, and then we start to drive. I try to stay focused for the girls, to calm them and say: “It’s okay, it’s alright.”</p>
|
| 406 |
-
|
| 407 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: But from your perspective –</p>
|
| 408 |
-
|
| 409 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I’m dying of fear, it’s the worst possible nightmare.</p>
|
| 410 |
-
|
| 411 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Are you mentally present or are you detached?</p>
|
| 412 |
-
|
| 413 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Detached. Very detached. My heart is pounding horribly but it’s like I’m a different person.</p>
|
| 414 |
-
|
| 415 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: What will happen in another moment has almost never been discussed until now. The captives are already in the vehicle, surrounded by terrorists on all sides, on the way to Gaza.</p>
|
| 416 |
-
|
| 417 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: We exit from here, turn left, drive –</p>
|
| 418 |
-
|
| 419 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: On this path we see here?</p>
|
| 420 |
-
|
| 421 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes we drive and then there is a right turn. And we saw nothing.</p>
|
| 422 |
-
|
| 423 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: What do you mean, you saw nothing?</p>
|
| 424 |
-
|
| 425 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Nothing, no army, nada, totally empty.</p>
|
| 426 |
-
|
| 427 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You still expect them?</p>
|
| 428 |
-
|
| 429 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes you always expect to see them.</p>
|
| 430 |
-
|
| 431 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: She won’t see a single soldier. But suddenly from the sky, a sound is heard that sparks an ember of hope.</p>
|
| 432 |
-
|
| 433 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: 150 meters before the border we suddenly hear a combat helicopter in the skies.</p>
|
| 434 |
-
|
| 435 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: The combat helicopter coming up over them sees from the cockpit what he never could have imagined: streams of terrorists and Israeli civilians among them being taken captive to Gaza.</p>
|
| 436 |
-
|
| 437 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: The helicopter accompanied you for a fair while overhead?</p>
|
| 438 |
-
|
| 439 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I don’t remember exactly how long, but it was there. We say: “Good, maybe the army is here. Maybe something is happening.”</p>
|
| 440 |
-
|
| 441 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: And something in fact happens from the helicopter’s direction, within minutes.</p>
|
| 442 |
-
|
| 443 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: And then suddenly it opened with a volley of gunfire.</p>
|
| 444 |
-
|
| 445 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Coming from above.</p>
|
| 446 |
-
|
| 447 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>
|
| 448 |
-
|
| 449 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: The time is now 11:30 am. The helicopter pilot makes a decision in a nearly impossible situation. It aims gunfire at the small vehicle laden with terrorists, but also with Israeli captives.</p>
|
| 450 |
-
|
| 451 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: It was a terrifying moment. It lasted seconds. I lower my head. I realize my pants are all ripped and covered in blood. I raise my head and see dominoes.</p>
|
| 452 |
-
|
| 453 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: What do you mean?</p>
|
| 454 |
-
|
| 455 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: All the terrorists – dead.</p>
|
| 456 |
-
|
| 457 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: The second you raise your head?</p>
|
| 458 |
-
|
| 459 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>
|
| 460 |
-
|
| 461 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: One of the captives, Doron’s mother, suffers a lethal wound from the gunfire.</p>
|
| 462 |
-
|
| 463 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Sadly Efrat Katz was killed on the spot.</p>
|
| 464 |
-
|
| 465 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Do you manage to see Efrat?</p>
|
| 466 |
-
|
| 467 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>
|
| 468 |
-
|
| 469 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: That’s one of the memories you are trying to erase?</p>
|
| 470 |
-
|
| 471 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>
|
| 472 |
-
|
| 473 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: To erase.</p>
|
| 474 |
-
|
| 475 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: To erase, yes.</p>
|
| 476 |
-
|
| 477 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You think about the pilot and you say –</p>
|
| 478 |
-
|
| 479 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Poor guy. I don’t know … I really don’t envy him. He made a difficult decision. But he almost saved us.</p>
|
| 480 |
-
|
| 481 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Almost.</p>
|
| 482 |
-
|
| 483 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Almost. We were all wounded, I was hit by shrapnel. For a second we didn’t know what to do. I took Aviv in my arms.</p>
|
| 484 |
-
|
| 485 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: The little one.</p>
|
| 486 |
-
|
| 487 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. David [Cunio] took Yuli, their daughter. Neomit takes Raz and we run to the field.</p>
|
| 488 |
-
|
| 489 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: How far do you think you ran? How many meters?</p>
|
| 490 |
-
|
| 491 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I don’t know, not too many, but we did take some distance. We ran but Doron stayed with her mom at the wagon.</p>
|
| 492 |
-
|
| 493 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Because Doron wasn’t capable of leaving her mother?</p>
|
| 494 |
-
|
| 495 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. It was not an easy moment.</p>
|
| 496 |
-
|
| 497 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Actually Doron said in an interview with Channel 12 News: “I realized I had no way to help her, that I must stick with the girls, otherwise they’ll take me separately and them separately. So with zero energy, while bleeding, I just walked towards them.”</p>
|
| 498 |
-
|
| 499 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Doron came to us white, bleeding from behind. Sharon gets up to help her. To bring her to us. Neomit is lying down, Aviv is on my lap. Aviv was wounded. One of her toes got cut in two. I took off my shirt, I put it on her foot.</p>
|
| 500 |
-
|
| 501 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: A 2-year-old girl.</p>
|
| 502 |
-
|
| 503 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes</p>
|
| 504 |
-
|
| 505 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: It is already just after 11:30 [am]. The terrorists that captured them were all killed apparently. Except for one [sic]. Shani and the others are still in Israeli territory, so close to Nir Oz.</p>
|
| 506 |
-
|
| 507 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: We run to the middle of the field and sit there, and we look at the skies.</p>
|
| 508 |
-
|
| 509 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: And the helicopter is still above them too. But it’s no longer shooting.</p>
|
| 510 |
-
|
| 511 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: If only his ammunition hadn’t run out.</p>
|
| 512 |
-
|
| 513 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Is that what they told you? That he ran out of ammunition?</p>
|
| 514 |
-
|
| 515 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I’m not certain it’s true, but that’s what they said.</p>
|
| 516 |
-
|
| 517 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: On the Sabbath afternoon, in the heart of this exposed field, they now realize that no one will save them. They have been left to their fate. But they all manage to take care of each other, even there.</p>
|
| 518 |
-
|
| 519 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: In all that chaos, does the thought of fleeing cross your mind?</p>
|
| 520 |
-
|
| 521 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: It crossed my mind. David also suggested: Maybe let’s run to the bushes? I told myself: Maybe I’ll run? Then I told myself: “How could I really run? I cannot leave the girls here. There’s no way to know what will happen. Doron is wounded – who will take care of them?”</p>
|
| 522 |
-
|
| 523 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: It sounds like your decision-making faculties are always working. What course of action is correct? Is moral? Is possible? It’s always working!</p>
|
| 524 |
-
|
| 525 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, but both working and not working. And then another tractor comes. Full of pillage. A kibbutz landscaping tractor.</p>
|
| 526 |
-
|
| 527 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You recognized it belonged to the kibbutz.</p>
|
| 528 |
-
|
| 529 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. Neomit said: “Pretend you’re dead.” We couldn’t really pretend to be dead because we were with children. And then he stops, and motions for us to come, but no one does. He comes over to us and takes Raz from Doron, and starts to walk. That second we all got up. Then he loaded us onto the wagon. They took [pillaged] equipment off the wagon and they sat us down there.</p>
|
| 530 |
-
|
| 531 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: The tractor carrying eight captives is already speeding towards Gaza, leaving behind Neomit who manages to lie there without moving. Wounded and bleeding, she will crawl the whole way back to the kibbutz.</p>
|
| 532 |
-
|
| 533 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: We continue driving, we see a burning tank. And there is no fence. And the helicopter disappeared. It can’t be heard anymore and it can’t be seen anymore.</p>
|
| 534 |
-
|
| 535 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: And if you would meet the pilot now, what would you tell him?</p>
|
| 536 |
-
|
| 537 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I would tell him: “Thank you – and why didn’t you stay?” Also: “Why weren’t you there, here, to take down everyone here? If one helicopter had fired, everything would be okay. We would never have gotten to Gaza.”</p>
|
| 538 |

-
<p>[Video is screened on a laptop]</p>
|
| 540 |
-
|
| 541 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: This is Doron, right?</p>
|
| 542 |
-
|
| 543 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. Yes.</p>
|
| 544 |
-
|
| 545 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: This is you.</p>
|
| 546 |
-
|
| 547 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, that’s me.</p>
|
| 548 |
-
|
| 549 |
-
<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: And who are you hugging here?</p>
|
| 550 |
-
|
| 551 |
-
<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Raz. I was also trying to hide, to get inside as much as possible. At that moment my fear was that if the helicopter shot at us again and this time it is my back that is exposed. If he shoots again, it’s me who dies.</p>

killing another Israeli as well as all of their abductors, Israel’s <a href=\"https://www.mako.co.il/news-military/2024_q1/Article-104057ff43ead81026.htm\">Channel 12 reported last month</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Shani Goren, a 29-year-old resident of Kibbutz Nir Oz, was taken from her home at gunpoint by Palestinian fighters and transported to the Gaza Strip, where she was held for 55 days. She was released on 30 November.</p>\n\n<p>Before she reached Gaza, however, a vehicle carrying Goren away came under heavy fire from an Israeli combat helicopter.</p>\n\n<p>When the gunfire ceased, Goren realized that the helicopter’s high-caliber bullets had killed all of her abductors, as well as one Israeli woman, fellow Nir Oz resident Efrat Katz.</p>\n\n<p>“My pants are all ripped and covered in blood. I raise my head and see dominoes,” Goren recalled to Ilana Dayan, host of Channel 12’s prestigious investigative program <em>Uvda</em> – and by coincidence also her cousin. “All the terrorists – dead.”</p>\n\n<p>You can watch part of Goren’s account with English subtitles in the video above <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPPD_uoz6f0\">or on Youtube</a>. A transcript is below.</p>\n\n<p>Goren and the other Israeli captives who survived the volley of helicopter gunfire were abducted again minutes later by other Palestinians returning from Nir Oz on one of the tractors of the kibbutz.</p>\n\n<p>Only one woman, 63-year-old Neomit Dekel-Chen, avoided their fate by pretending to be mortally wounded from the helicopter gunfire.</p>\n\n<p>On 7 October, the Israeli army <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/israeli-hq-ordered-troops-shoot-israeli-captives-7-october\">implemented</a> its controversial <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/hannibal-directive\">Hannibal directive</a>, which amounts to an order to assassinate Israeli captives to avoid having to barter for their lives by freeing Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.</p>\n\n<p>At Kibbutz Be’eri, another Israeli colonial settlement near the Gaza boundary fence, the Israeli army attacked a home containing 14 civilian captives and several dozen Hamas fighters.</p>\n\n<p>All but one of the Qassam fighters and all but two of the captives were killed in the intense crossfire. At least three of the civilians, <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/content/israeli-child-burned-completely-israeli-tank-fire-kibbutz/41706\">including 12-year-old Liel Hatsroni</a>, were incinerated by Israeli tank shells fired at the house.</p>\n\n<p>As The Electronic Intifada <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/content/israeli-general-killed-israelis-7-october-then-lied-about-it/43176\">previously reported</a>, Barak Hiram, the Israeli general who gave the order to fire at the house, told a fabricated story in an attempt to cover up this incident, when Channel 12’s Ilana Dayan interviewed him in October.</p>\n\n<p>The families of the Israeli civilians killed by Israeli army fire at Kibbutz Be’eri have <a href=\"https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-06/ty-article/.premium/families-of-israelis-killed-in-beeri-home-hit-by-tank-fire-on-october-7-demand-probe/0000018c-de77-daf6-a5df-df7f22d60000\">demanded</a> that the military immediately <a href=\"https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-02-06/ty-article/.premium/idf-probing-death-of-12-hostages-in-beeri-house-shelled-on-orders-of-senior-officer/0000018d-7b6c-d008-a9cd-fbfdb0040000\">investigate</a> the incident and the decision to use overwhelming firepower at the cost of the lives of their loved ones.</p>\n\n<p>Israeli military sources have revealed that on 7 October attack helicopters, along with armed drones, swarmed the skies above southern Israel and around Gaza.</p>\n\n<p>Israeli news outlet <em>Ynet</em> <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/shoot-everything-how-israeli-pilots-killed-their-own-civilians\">reported in November</a> how “28 fighter helicopters shot over the course of the day all of the ammunition in their bellies, in renewed runs to rearm.”</p>\n\n<p><em>Ynet</em> mentions in particular Lieutenant Colonel A., the commander of Squadron 190, who around mid-morning of 7 October “instructed the other fighters in the air to shoot at everything they see in the area of the fence.”</p>\n\n<h2>“If he shoots again, it’s me who dies”</h2>\n\n<p>At least one survivor of the same Israeli helicopter attack that killed Nir Oz resident Efrat Katz has blasted Israel’s repeated readiness to sacrifice the lives of its citizens – on the day she was taken, while she was held in Gaza, and ever since her return home on 27 November.</p>\n\n<p>In a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet the week after her release, Sharon Cunio assailed the Israeli leaders over their sanctioning of the Hannibal directive and pleaded with them to take no more risks with the life of her husband David Cunio, still held in Gaza.</p>\n\n<p>“The feeling we had there is that no one is doing anything for us. The fact is that I was in a hiding place that was bombed, and we were forced to be smuggled out of there, wounded. Not counting the helicopter that shot at us on the way to Gaza. You claim there is intelligence, but the fact is we were bombed,” Cunio told them, <a href=\"https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/hkp00rchsp\">according to Israeli news outlet <em>Ynet</em></a>, which obtained recordings of the contentious meeting.</p>\n\n<p>“My husband was separated from us three days before we returned to Israel and was taken to the tunnels,” Cunio told the members of the war cabinet. “And you are talking about flooding the tunnels with seawater? You are bombing the route of the tunnels in the area they are being held in.”</p>\n\n<p>Cunio’s anger over Israel’s repeated implementation of the Hannibal directive is not shared by Goren, however, who was taken to Gaza on the same tuk tuk – a small motorized utility vehicle.</p>\n\n<p>Asked what words she has for the helicopter pilot that sprayed them with gunfire, Goren replied with appreciation – and regret that he did not resume his fire at the second group of Palestinians that carried them off to Gaza.</p>\n\n<p>“Thank you – and why didn’t you stay?” Goren told Channel 12. “Also, why weren’t you there, here, to take down everyone here? If one helicopter had fired, everything would be okay. We would never have gotten to Gaza.”</p>\n\n<p>Goren’s appreciation is all the more striking since she appears to understand that she could have been killed just like Efrat Katz if the helicopter had returned.</p>\n\n<p>“I was also trying to hide, to get inside as much as possible,” Goren explains to Ilana Dayan as they watch footage of the second vehicle laden with people that would eventually make it to Gaza. “At that moment my fear was if the helicopter shot at us again. And this time my back is exposed. If he shoots again, it’s me who dies.”</p>\n\n<p>Goren also described how on 23 October she and other Israelis held in Gaza were hurriedly evacuated by their Palestinian captors from the home they were being kept in amid a warning of imminent bombing, presumably by the Israeli air force.</p>\n\n<h2>“Immense” amount of friendly fire</h2>\n\n<p>Doron Katz-Asher and her two little girls Raz and Aviv were in the first vehicle with Efrat Katz, Doron’s mother, and Shani Goren when the helicopter attacked.\n<div id=\"file-153656\" class=\"file file-document file-text-oembed oembed-rich oembed-default oembed-twitter\">\n\n \n \n <div class=\"oembed-content\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: The Israeli military killed Israeli grandmother Efrat Katz on October 7, according to a Channel 12 report.<br><br>Full story by <a href=\"https://twitter.com/dancohen3000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@dancohen3000</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/a38HgZ0uTY\">https://t.co/a38HgZ0uTY</a> <a href=\"https://t.co/cThm3IbQT1\">pic.twitter.com/cThm3IbQT1</a></p>— Uncaptured News (@UncapturedNews) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/UncapturedNews/status/1744390739973242985?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 8, 2024</a></blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n </div>\n\n \n</div>\n \nKatz-Asher <a href=\"https://www.mako.co.il/news-israel/2023_q4/Article-92812c6e6637c81027.htm\">told Channel 12</a> in a December interview what went through her head the moment after the Israeli helicopter opened fire, killing her mother and injuring Katz-Asher and her 2-year-old Aviv.</p>\n\n<p>“It sounds far-fetched, but I was in a war movie with shooting and terrorists and I wanted so badly to reach Gaza, for them to take me to a safe place, in quotes, where I won’t be under fire,” Katz-Asher said. “And where they’ll maybe even treat my wounds.”</p>\n\n<p>“It was even a kind of relief when we finally arrived [in Gaza] alive,” Katz-Asher added.</p>\n\n<p>Katz-Asher and her two girls would <a href=\"https://www.timesofisrael.com/taken-captive-3-generations-unaccounted-for-these-are-the-gates-of-hell/\">return home</a> on 24 November, as part of the temporary ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal that month.</p>\n\n<p>While she was in Gaza, Katz-Asher said she couldn’t help feeling that “we are being abandoned” by Israeli leaders and “that maybe they are only occupied with vengeance.”</p>\n\n<p>The Israeli military has admitted to an “immense and complex quantity” of so-called friendly fire incidents on 7 October, in which Israeli forces fired on their own citizens.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/israel-admits-immense-amount-friendly-fire-7-october\">According</a> to <em>Ynet</em>, however, the military is of the view that “it would not be morally sound to investigate” them.</p>\n\n<p>Regarding Efrat Katz, the army has said, “From an examination of the incident described, no reply can be made with certainty in response to the claims of the family at this stage.”</p>\n\n<p>As of yet, there is no exact or official figure for how many of the roughly 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals Israel says died on that day were actually killed by Israeli forces.</p>\n\n<p>It may be that Katz, as a kibbutz resident, was seen as a leftist – at least in Israeli terms – and therefore considered even more disposable.</p>\n\n<h2>Living on stolen land</h2>\n\n<p>Although Zionists marketed the kibbutzim to the world as idealistic, socialist collective farms, the reality is that they were Jewish-only colonial settlements often built on land brutally <a href=\"https://www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1654492\">conquered</a> from ethnically cleansed Palestinians.</p>\n\n<p>Nir Oz and several other nearby Zionist colonies were built on land that belonged to the Abu Sitta family, in a community called al-Main, until they were expelled by the Zionist colonists to Gaza during the Nakba.</p>\n\n<p>Most of these settlements were established as colonial outposts or military garrisons to <a href=\"https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-10-13/ty-article-magazine/.premium/the-origins-of-the-gaza-strip-and-the-israeli-communities-nestled-by-it/0000018b-23fe-d680-af9b-23fe94490000\">consolidate the conquests</a> of the new Zionist settler-colonial state.</p>\n\n<p>Al-Main was attacked by Zionist militias on 14 May 1948. The Haganah, the Zionist armed group that later became the Israeli army, “destroyed and burned homes, demolished the school that was built in 1920, blew up the motorized well and the flour mill,” <a href=\"https://mondoweiss.net/2019/09/denial-israeli-kibbutz/\">wrote</a> Salman Abu Sitta, the renowned Palestinian geographer and a survivor of the ethnic cleansing.</p>\n\n<p>“They were resisted bravely for several hours by 15 Palestinian defenders armed by old rifles,” Abu Sitta recounts. “As a child, I witnessed the smoldering remains of my village while I was huddled with other children and women in a nearby ravine. I never saw a Jew before and did not know who the attackers were or why they came to destroy our life.”</p>\n\n<p>So began Abu Sitta’s life as a refugee.</p>\n\n<p>Five years ago, De-Colonizer, a project which aims to educate about the Nakba, set up an exhibit in the last house that is still standing in al-Main and invited Israeli residents of the surrounding kibbutzim to view it.</p>\n\n<p>“The angriest comments and indeed threats, came from an old kibbutznik, over 80, who witnessed and participated in the attack on al-Main,” Abu Sitta observed.</p>\n\n<p>Other settlers similarly expressed anger, denial and defiance at being confronted with the reality of their presence on land forcibly taken from people living as refugees, caged in a ghetto just a few miles away.</p>\n\n<p>But several people who visited the exhibit were more thoughtful, one of them none other than Nir Oz resident Efrat Katz.</p>\n\n<p>“What I’ve seen here today was very moving and even painful. In spite of living here more than 35 years, I feel the need and the hope to return to the land and revive it with the past emotions, to revive it with the culture and habits of you, the residents,” Katz <a href=\"https://www.de-colonizer.org/exhibit-al-ma-in\">said</a> in a handwritten note.</p>\n\n<p>“A land is not a brick. A land is value, it is roots, it is a love for a place. There’s no room for deportation. My heart is with you.”</p>\n\n<p>On 7 October 2023, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the Palestinians expelled in 1948 came back to their land, executing a devastating assault against the Israeli military bases and colonial settlements that had forcibly usurped their place and the lives they might have lived.</p>\n\n<p>“I could have been one of those who broke through the fence had I been much younger and was still living in the concentration camp called the Gaza Strip,” Salman Abu Sitta, now in his 80s, <a href=\"https://mondoweiss.net/2024/01/i-could-have-been-one-of-those-who-broke-through-the-siege-on-october-7/\">wrote</a> in January.</p>\n\n<p>Efrat Katz died on that day at the hands of those who were supposedly charged with protecting her.</p>\n\n<h2>Opportunity for a crime that didn’t happen</h2>\n\n<p>Shani Goren’s recollections of her capture on 7 October seem to be incongruous with the Israeli government’s allegations that Palestinian fighters were ordered by their commanders to rape Israeli women during the attack.</p>\n\n<p>When the kibbutz came under attack early on Saturday morning, Goren followed phone advice from her brother Amit and barricaded herself in her bedroom. When five Palestinian fighters arrived and entered her bedroom, they found her wearing next to no clothes. “I was wearing underwear, no bra, and a crop top, what I usually wear to bed,” Goren told Dayan.</p>\n\n<p>One of the fighters rifled through her wardrobe, pulled out leg coverings and passed them to her. “He threw tights at me,” Goren recalled. “He told me: ‘Get dressed.’”</p>\n\n<p>At the time, Palestinian fighters had complete control of Kibbutz Nir Oz. “I look to either side – there are millions of them,” Goren remembers. “No one else. I say: ‘Where is the army?’”</p>\n\n<p>If the Palestinian fighters had really been instructed to commit sex crimes on that day, they could have violated Goren with alarming ease. Instead, they led her on a walk around the village, seemingly to celebrate their conquest of the kibbutz.</p>\n\n<p>Channel 12’s Dayan characterized it as “a kind of victory lap through the paths of Nir Oz.”</p>\n\n<p>Hoping to calm her nerves, Goren asked the leader of the Palestinians who had abducted her for a cigarette. He then approached another fighter, secured a cigarette for her, and allowed her to smoke it. After a short time, another fighter yelled at her and she was forced to put it out.</p>\n\n<p>The fact that a scantily clad 29-year-old Israeli woman was not sexually assaulted when her captors had ample opportunity to do so, or during her nearly two months of captivity in Gaza, cannot by itself prove that no sex crime occurred anywhere else on the battlefield that day.</p>\n\n<p>But it does provide additional context against which to evaluate the Israeli <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/watch-debunking-israels-mass-rape-propaganda\">claims</a> – made on the basis of <a href=\"https://theintercept.com/2024/03/04/nyt-october-7-sexual-violence-kibbutz-beeri/\">debunked</a> and <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/watch-ny-times-investigation-mass-rape-hamas-falls-apart\">discredited</a> <a href=\"https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schwartz-october-7/\">accounts</a> and thus far presented <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/ny-times-found-no-7-october-rape-victims-reporter-admits\">without any forensic evidence or first-person testimony</a> – that such crimes were systematic, pre-planned and were perpetrated on the order of Hamas commanders “as a weapon of war.”</p>\n\n<p>In this respect, Goren’s recollections of her experience can be added to those of <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/tags/yasmin-porat\">Yasmin Porat</a>, one of the only two Israelis to survive the shelling of the home ordered by General Barak Hiram at Kibbutz Be’eri.</p>\n\n<p>In an <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/content/israeli-forces-shot-their-own-civilians-kibbutz-survivor-says/38861\">interview</a> with Israeli state radio in October, Porat recounted how the dozens of Palestinian fighters had treated her and the other civilians they were holding “humanely.”</p>\n\n<p>She insisted that the fighters intended to “kidnap us to Gaza. Not to murder us.”</p>\n\n<p>“It was very frightening but no one treated us violently,” Porat said. “Luckily nothing happened to me like what I heard in the media.”</p>\n\n<p><em>David Sheen is the author of</em> <a href=\"https://www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1654274\">Kahanism and American Politics: The Democratic Party’s Decades-Long Courtship of Racist Fanatics</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>Transcript of video</h2>\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https://www.mako.co.il/news-military/2024_q1/Article-104057ff43ead81026.htm\">Source: Channel 12(Israel)</a></li>\n<li>Name of program: <em>Uvda</em></li>\n<li>Date: 15 February 2024</li>\n</ul><p>Voiceover: It’s 6:45 am and this is a special news broadcast in the wake of a volley of missiles and rockets shot into Israeli territory.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I call [my brother] Amit and he tells me: Get up, lock the door, shut everything, do not step out of the house. Lift the handle of the safe room and stay there.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: Her brother Amit was not in Nir Oz that Saturday. Her sister Shira was at the kibbutz, as was her good friend Arbel Yahud, still at her home at this stage.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I spoke with Arbel, we were both stressed. We couldn’t speak. We said we loved each other. We hoped they wouldn’t reach us and nothing would happen.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: From that moment she was on the line with her brother’s partner the whole time.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Nofar called me, I spoke with her for two hours.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You just held each other on the line?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, later she told me it had been two hours. From my perspective we spoke for half an hour. I tell her: “I’m scared” and she says: “Breathe.” And then suddenly there were noises in the house. I whisper to her: “Nofar they’re here! They’re here!” She tells me: “Okay. Be quiet. Breathe. I’m with you on the line.” I was covered under the blanket. Crunched up, trying to stay close to the closet, in case they come. And then the door was opened quietly and they tossed in a grenade. I tell her: “They threw something at me, they threw a grenade!” Luckily for me the grenade did not explode. And after a few seconds they came in.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: This is the safe room, your bedroom is also the safe room.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, yes. They threw the grenade in this area and then four of them came in over here.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: And you are still lying down?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I am in the bed, sitting. He makes this motion [crosses arms to form an X] – supposedly a sign of captivity. I realized this later when I reached Gaza. The guy in the house where we were did the same motion. I asked him: ��What are you doing? What does that mean?” He tells me: “It means captivity.” I hadn’t understood what they wanted from me. So I resisted and every time I resisted, another one would approach me with his weapon.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: So you had four gun barrels trained on you?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes and another one who started emptying out my closet. In the end he threw tights at me. He told me: “Get dressed.” Because I was wearing underwear, no bra, and a crop top, what I usually wear to bed. He says, “Get dressed” and points down to the flip-flops.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Good God.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Were they calm or nervous?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: He was nervous and stressed out, but he didn’t take it out on me. Agitated, he snatched the phone from my hand and pocketed it. He did this motion again [crosses arms to form an X]. Every time I said: “No no no!” They point more and more weapons at me. So I look at them in tears, in fear, begging for my life. I look at the weapon that is very close to me. And then the one negotiating with me knocked the weapon away from me. And then every time he tried to pick me up, I resisted. They just pulled me out.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Did you manage to say goodbye to anyone?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: No I didn’t say goodbye to anyone. I didn’t think something like this could happen.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: And what is this room to you now?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Defiled – for me it’s beyond the pale.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: It’s no longer your home?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: No. My home was broken on 7 October.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You walked this way.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: They took me that way. He grabbed me by the hand and we walked around. We walked around so he could show me –</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: – to show her how they had conquered her kibbutz.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I look to either side – there are millions of them.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You see only terrorists.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, no one else. I say: “Where is the army? What’s happening?”</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: She is alone with five terrorists who take her on a kind of victory lap through the paths of Nir Oz.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I see that whole row of houses torched. There were tons more there.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Tons more terrorists?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Meanwhile you saw no other kibbutz members?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: None, I only saw them, everywhere, emerging from every direction. I don’t remember where we got to, there was someone else there. I beg him: “I want a cigarette. I can’t breathe, I want a cigarette.”</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You tell him this?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. He tells me: “No, no there are no cigarettes.”</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Wow you are unbelievable.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: And then he gives me a cigarette.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You manage to get a cigarette from him?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes a mob passed through, he got a cigarette from one of them and gave it to me. After two drags, a huge guy with a beard arrived and yelled at me to drop the cigarette.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: No more cigarette.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yeah, no more cigarette. At a certain stage I see Doron and her daughters.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You see they are with terrorists?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Doron came here to visit her mother Efrat.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes she came to visit her mom.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: I imagine you know Efrat for many years, she’s an old timer.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, Efrat is a neighbor of my mom. Doron as well, I knew her better when we were young.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: For the first time she sees a familiar face in this hellscape: Doron Katz with her mother Efrat holding Doron’s two small girls.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: She screams out: “Shani! Shani!” And I went to them, I joined them. He leaves me and I am appended to them. I took … Doron tells me: “Take Raz from Efrat so she won’t be burdened.”</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Raz is the older one.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, I took Raz. The girls are panicking because they don’t know what’s going on. Then ahead of us was the vineyard, that’s where they gathered us.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: Only when we see her here can we maybe begin to understand what she went through in those moments when the paths of the kibbutz where she was born and raised become the place from which she is kidnapped to Gaza.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Everything was aflame. The whole way we saw burnt houses.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: They’re visible here.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. They gathered us here on the dirt path. There was a tuk tuk waiting on the road.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: The vehicle approaching them is a motorbike pulling a flatbed and it stops next to the terrorists. They intend to load the captives onto it when suddenly the code red siren is heard.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: So we ran to the shelter. There too there were a few seconds –</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: With the terrorists?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes they ran in after us. Before the code red even ended they told us: “Come on, come on.”</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: By now she is in the tuk tuk’s flatbed with Efrat, Efrat’s daughter Doron and Doron’s two little girls.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: We sit inside. Suddenly we see Neomit also being led. They load her in with us.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: Neomit Dekel-Chen, 63, head of landscaping at Nir Oz is already in the vehicle. Seconds later, David Cunio and one of his twin daughters were also dragged there.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: They try to start the engine. Suddenly we see Sharon being led with two others.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: The mother without the second daughter?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Without the second daughter. And then David shouts: “That’s my wife! That’s my wife! Wait!” They load her on as well. We sit in the flatbed. The terrorists sit on the sides, they surround us, and then we start to drive. I try to stay focused for the girls, to calm them and say: “It’s okay, it’s alright.”</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: But from your perspective –</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I’m dying of fear, it’s the worst possible nightmare.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Are you mentally present or are you detached?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Detached. Very detached. My heart is pounding horribly but it’s like I’m a different person.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: What will happen in another moment has almost never been discussed until now. The captives are already in the vehicle, surrounded by terrorists on all sides, on the way to Gaza.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: We exit from here, turn left, drive –</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: On this path we see here?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes we drive and then there is a right turn. And we saw nothing.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: What do you mean, you saw nothing?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Nothing, no army, nada, totally empty.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You still expect them?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes you always expect to see them.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: She won’t see a single soldier. But suddenly from the sky, a sound is heard that sparks an ember of hope.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: 150 meters before the border we suddenly hear a combat helicopter in the skies.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: The combat helicopter coming up over them sees from the cockpit what he never could have imagined: streams of terrorists and Israeli civilians among them being taken captive to Gaza.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: The helicopter accompanied you for a fair while overhead?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I don’t remember exactly how long, but it was there. We say: “Good, maybe the army is here. Maybe something is happening.”</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: And something in fact happens from the helicopter’s direction, within minutes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: And then suddenly it opened with a volley of gunfire.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Coming from above.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: The time is now 11:30 am. The helicopter pilot makes a decision in a nearly impossible situation. It aims gunfire at the small vehicle laden with terrorists, but also with Israeli captives.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: It was a terrifying moment. It lasted seconds. I lower my head. I realize my pants are all ripped and covered in blood. I raise my head and see dominoes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: What do you mean?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: All the terrorists – dead.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: The second you raise your head?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: One of the captives, Doron’s mother, suffers a lethal wound from the gunfire.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Sadly Efrat Katz was killed on the spot.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Do you manage to see Efrat?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: That’s one of the memories you are trying to erase?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: To erase.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: To erase, yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You think about the pilot and you say –</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Poor guy. I don’t know … I really don’t envy him. He made a difficult decision. But he almost saved us.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Almost.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Almost. We were all wounded, I was hit by shrapnel. For a second we didn’t know what to do. I took Aviv in my arms.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: The little one.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. David [Cunio] took Yuli, their daughter. Neomit takes Raz and we run to the field.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: How far do you think you ran? How many meters?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I don’t know, not too many, but we did take some distance. We ran but Doron stayed with her mom at the wagon.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Because Doron wasn’t capable of leaving her mother?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. It was not an easy moment.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Actually Doron said in an interview with Channel 12 News: “I realized I had no way to help her, that I must stick with the girls, otherwise they’ll take me separately and them separately. So with zero energy, while bleeding, I just walked towards them.”</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Doron came to us white, bleeding from behind. Sharon gets up to help her. To bring her to us. Neomit is lying down, Aviv is on my lap. Aviv was wounded. One of her toes got cut in two. I took off my shirt, I put it on her foot.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: A 2-year-old girl.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: It is already just after 11:30 [am]. The terrorists that captured them were all killed apparently. Except for one [sic]. Shani and the others are still in Israeli territory, so close to Nir Oz.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: We run to the middle of the field and sit there, and we look at the skies.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: And the helicopter is still above them too. But it’s no longer shooting.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: If only his ammunition hadn’t run out.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: Is that what they told you? That he ran out of ammunition?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I’m not certain it’s true, but that’s what they said.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: On the Sabbath afternoon, in the heart of this exposed field, they now realize that no one will save them. They have been left to their fate. But they all manage to take care of each other, even there.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: In all that chaos, does the thought of fleeing cross your mind?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: It crossed my mind. David also suggested: Maybe let’s run to the bushes? I told myself: Maybe I’ll run? Then I told myself: “How could I really run? I cannot leave the girls here. There’s no way to know what will happen. Doron is wounded – who will take care of them?”</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: It sounds like your decision-making faculties are always working. What course of action is correct? Is moral? Is possible? It’s always working!</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, but both working and not working. And then another tractor comes. Full of pillage. A kibbutz landscaping tractor.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: You recognized it belonged to the kibbutz.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. Neomit said: “Pretend you’re dead.” We couldn’t really pretend to be dead because we were with children. And then he stops, and motions for us to come, but no one does. He comes over to us and takes Raz from Doron, and starts to walk. That second we all got up. Then he loaded us onto the wagon. They took [pillaged] equipment off the wagon and they sat us down there.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong> [voice-over]: The tractor carrying eight captives is already speeding towards Gaza, leaving behind Neomit who manages to lie there without moving. Wounded and bleeding, she will crawl the whole way back to the kibbutz.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: We continue driving, we see a burning tank. And there is no fence. And the helicopter disappeared. It can’t be heard anymore and it can’t be seen anymore.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: And if you would meet the pilot now, what would you tell him?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: I would tell him: “Thank you – and why didn’t you stay?” Also: “Why weren’t you there, here, to take down everyone here? If one helicopter had fired, everything would be okay. We would never have gotten to Gaza.”</p>\n\n<p>[Video is screened on a laptop]</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: This is Doron, right?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes. Yes.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: This is you.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Yes, that’s me.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Ilana Dayan</strong>: And who are you hugging here?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Shani Goren</strong>: Raz. I was also trying to hide, to get inside as much as possible. At that moment my fear was that if the helicopter shot at us again and this time it is my back that is exposed. If he shoots again, it’s me who dies.</p>\n <h3 class=\"field-label field field-tag\">\n <i class=\"fa fa-tags\"></i> <span>Tags</span>\n </h3>\n\n<ul class=\"field field-tag\">\n\n <li>\n <a

An Israeli woman taken captive by Palestinian fighters on 7 October 2023 is grateful to the helicopter pilot who shot at the vehicle she was riding in, killing another Israeli as well as all of their abductors, Israel’s Channel 12 reported last month.
|
| 2 |
-
|
| 3 |
-
Shani Goren, a 29-year-old resident of Kibbutz Nir Oz, was taken from her home at gunpoint by Palestinian fighters and transported to the Gaza Strip, where she was held for 55 days. She was released on 30 November.
|
| 4 |
-
|
| 5 |
-
Before she reached Gaza, however, a vehicle carrying Goren away came under heavy fire from an Israeli combat helicopter.
|
| 6 |
-
|
| 7 |
-
When the gunfire ceased, Goren realized that the helicopter’s high-caliber bullets had killed all of her abductors, as well as one Israeli woman, fellow Nir Oz resident Efrat Katz.
|
| 8 |
-
|
| 9 |
-
“My pants are all ripped and covered in blood. I raise my head and see dominoes,” Goren recalled to Ilana Dayan, host of Channel 12’s prestigious investigative program Uvda – and by coincidence also her cousin. “All the terrorists – dead.”
|
| 10 |
-
|
| 11 |
-
You can watch part of Goren’s account with English subtitles in the video above or on Youtube. A transcript is below.
|
| 12 |
-
|
| 13 |
-
Goren and the other Israeli captives who survived the volley of helicopter gunfire were abducted again minutes later by other Palestinians returning from Nir Oz on one of the tractors of the kibbutz.
|
| 14 |
-
|
| 15 |
-
Only one woman, 63-year-old Neomit Dekel-Chen, avoided their fate by pretending to be mortally wounded from the helicopter gunfire.
|
| 16 |
-
|
| 17 |
-
On 7 October, the Israeli army implemented its controversial Hannibal directive, which amounts to an order to assassinate Israeli captives to avoid having to barter for their lives by freeing Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
|
| 18 |
-
|
| 19 |
-
At Kibbutz Be’eri, another Israeli colonial settlement near the Gaza boundary fence, the Israeli army attacked a home containing 14 civilian captives and several dozen Hamas fighters.
|
| 20 |
-
|
| 21 |
-
All but one of the Qassam fighters and all but two of the captives were killed in the intense crossfire. At least three of the civilians, including 12-year-old Liel Hatsroni, were incinerated by Israeli tank shells fired at the house.
|
| 22 |
-
|
| 23 |
-
As The Electronic Intifada previously reported, Barak Hiram, the Israeli general who gave the order to fire at the house, told a fabricated story in an attempt to cover up this incident, when Channel 12’s Ilana Dayan interviewed him in October.
|
| 24 |
-
|
| 25 |
-
The families of the Israeli civilians killed by Israeli army fire at Kibbutz Be’eri have demanded that the military immediately investigate the incident and the decision to use overwhelming firepower at the cost of the lives of their loved ones.
|
| 26 |
-
|
| 27 |
-
Israeli military sources have revealed that on 7 October attack helicopters, along with armed drones, swarmed the skies above southern Israel and around Gaza.
|
| 28 |
-
|
| 29 |
-
Israeli news outlet Ynet reported in November how “28 fighter helicopters shot over the course of the day all of the ammunition in their bellies, in renewed runs to rearm.”
|
| 30 |
-
|
| 31 |
-
Ynet mentions in particular Lieutenant Colonel A., the commander of Squadron 190, who around mid-morning of 7 October “instructed the other fighters in the air to shoot at everything they see in the area of the fence.”
|
| 32 |
-
|
| 33 |
-
“If he shoots again, it’s me who dies”
|
| 34 |
-
|
| 35 |
-
At least one survivor of the same Israeli helicopter attack that killed Nir Oz resident Efrat Katz has blasted Israel’s repeated readiness to sacrifice the lives of its citizens – on the day she was taken, while she was held in Gaza, and ever since her return home on 27 November.
|
| 36 |
-
|
| 37 |
-
In a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet the week after her release, Sharon Cunio assailed the Israeli leaders over their sanctioning of the Hannibal directive and pleaded with them to take no more risks with the life of her husband David Cunio, still held in Gaza.
|
| 38 |
-
|
| 39 |
-
“The feeling we had there is that no one is doing anything for us. The fact is that I was in a hiding place that was bombed, and we were forced to be smuggled out of there, wounded. Not counting the helicopter that shot at us on the way to Gaza. You claim there is intelligence, but the fact is we were bombed,” Cunio told them, according to Israeli news outlet Ynet, which obtained recordings of the contentious meeting.
|
| 40 |
-
|
| 41 |
-
“My husband was separated from us three days before we returned to Israel and was taken to the tunnels,” Cunio told the members of the war cabinet. “And you are talking about flooding the tunnels with seawater? You are bombing the route of the tunnels in the area they are being held in.”
|
| 42 |
-
|
| 43 |
-
Cunio’s anger over Israel’s repeated implementation of the Hannibal directive is not shared by Goren, however, who was taken to Gaza on the same tuk tuk – a small motorized utility vehicle.
|
| 44 |
-
|
| 45 |
-
Asked what words she has for the helicopter pilot that sprayed them with gunfire, Goren replied with appreciation – and regret that he did not resume his fire at the second group of Palestinians that carried them off to Gaza.
|
| 46 |
-
|
| 47 |
-
“Thank you – and why didn’t you stay?” Goren told Channel 12. “Also, why weren’t you there, here, to take down everyone here? If one helicopter had fired, everything would be okay. We would never have gotten to Gaza.”
|
| 48 |
-
|
| 49 |
-
Goren’s appreciation is all the more striking since she appears to understand that she could have been killed just like Efrat Katz if the helicopter had returned.
|
| 50 |
-
|
| 51 |
-
“I was also trying to hide, to get inside as much as possible,” Goren explains to Ilana Dayan as they watch footage of the second vehicle laden with people that would eventually make it to Gaza. “At that moment my fear was if the helicopter shot at us again. And this time my back is exposed. If he shoots again, it’s me who dies.”
|
| 52 |
-
|
| 53 |
-
Goren also described how on 23 October she and other Israelis held in Gaza were hurriedly evacuated by their Palestinian captors from the home they were being kept in amid a warning of imminent bombing, presumably by the Israeli air force.
|
| 54 |
-
|
| 55 |
-
“Immense” amount of friendly fire
|
| 56 |
-
|
| 57 |
-
Doron Katz-Asher and her two little girls Raz and Aviv were in the first vehicle with Efrat Katz, Doron’s mother, and Shani Goren when the helicopter attacked.
|
| 58 |
-
|
| 59 |
-
Katz-Asher told Channel 12 in a December interview what went through her head the moment after the Israeli helicopter opened fire, killing her mother and injuring Katz-Asher and her 2-year-old Aviv.
|
| 60 |
-
|
| 61 |
-
“It sounds far-fetched, but I was in a war movie with shooting and terrorists and I wanted so badly to reach Gaza, for them to take me to a safe place, in quotes, where I won’t be under fire,” Katz-Asher said. “And where they’ll maybe even treat my wounds.”
|
| 62 |
-
|
| 63 |
-
“It was even a kind of relief when we finally arrived [in Gaza] alive,” Katz-Asher added.
|
| 64 |
-
|
| 65 |
-
Katz-Asher and her two girls would return home on 24 November, as part of the temporary ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal that month.
|
| 66 |
-
|
| 67 |
-
While she was in Gaza, Katz-Asher said she couldn’t help feeling that “we are being abandoned” by Israeli leaders and “that maybe they are only occupied with vengeance.”
|
| 68 |
-
|
| 69 |
-
The Israeli military has admitted to an “immense and complex quantity” of so-called friendly fire incidents on 7 October, in which Israeli forces fired on their own citizens.
|
| 70 |
-
|
| 71 |
-
According to Ynet, however, the military is of the view that “it would not be morally sound to investigate” them.
|
| 72 |
-
|
| 73 |
-
Regarding Efrat Katz, the army has said, “From an examination of the incident described, no reply can be made with certainty in response to the claims of the family at this stage.”
|
| 74 |
-
|
| 75 |
-
As of yet, there is no exact or official figure for how many of the roughly 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals Israel says died on that day were actually killed by Israeli forces.
|
| 76 |
-
|
| 77 |
-
It may be that Katz, as a kibbutz resident, was seen as a leftist – at least in Israeli terms – and therefore considered even more disposable.
|
| 78 |
-
|
| 79 |
-
Living on stolen land
|
| 80 |
-
|
| 81 |
-
Although Zionists marketed the kibbutzim to the world as idealistic, socialist collective farms, the reality is that they were Jewish-only colonial settlements often built on land brutally conquered from ethnically cleansed Palestinians.
|
| 82 |
-
|
| 83 |
-
Nir Oz and several other nearby Zionist colonies were built on land that belonged to the Abu Sitta family, in a community called al-Main, until they were expelled by the Zionist colonists to Gaza during the Nakba.
|
| 84 |
-
|
| 85 |
-
Most of these settlements were established as colonial outposts or military garrisons to consolidate the conquests of the new Zionist settler-colonial state.
|
| 86 |
-
|
| 87 |
-
Al-Main was attacked by Zionist militias on 14 May 1948. The Haganah, the Zionist armed group that later became the Israeli army, “destroyed and burned homes, demolished the school that was built in 1920, blew up the motorized well and the flour mill,” wrote Salman Abu Sitta, the renowned Palestinian geographer and a survivor of the ethnic cleansing.
|
| 88 |
-
|
| 89 |
-
“They were resisted bravely for several hours by 15 Palestinian defenders armed by old rifles,” Abu Sitta recounts. “As a child, I witnessed the smoldering remains of my village while I was huddled with other children and women in a nearby ravine. I never saw a Jew before and did not know who the attackers were or why they came to destroy our life.”
|
| 90 |
-
|
| 91 |
-
So began Abu Sitta’s life as a refugee.
|
| 92 |
-
|
| 93 |
-
Five years ago, De-Colonizer, a project which aims to educate about the Nakba, set up an exhibit in the last house that is still standing in al-Main and invited Israeli residents of the surrounding kibbutzim to view it.
|
| 94 |
-
|
| 95 |
-
“The angriest comments and indeed threats, came from an old kibbutznik, over 80, who witnessed and participated in the attack on al-Main,” Abu Sitta observed.
|
| 96 |
-
|
| 97 |
-
Other settlers similarly expressed anger, denial and defiance at being confronted with the reality of their presence on land forcibly taken from people living as refugees, caged in a ghetto just a few miles away.
|
| 98 |
-
|
| 99 |
-
But several people who visited the exhibit were more thoughtful, one of them none other than Nir Oz resident Efrat Katz.
|
| 100 |
-
|
| 101 |
-
“What I’ve seen here today was very moving and even painful. In spite of living here more than 35 years, I feel the need and the hope to return to the land and revive it with the past emotions, to revive it with the culture and habits of you, the residents,” Katz said in a handwritten note.
|
| 102 |
-
|
| 103 |
-
“A land is not a brick. A land is value, it is roots, it is a love for a place. There’s no room for deportation. My heart is with you.”
|
| 104 |
-
|
| 105 |
-
On 7 October 2023, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the Palestinians expelled in 1948 came back to their land, executing a devastating assault against the Israeli military bases and colonial settlements that had forcibly usurped their place and the lives they might have lived.
|
| 106 |
-
|
| 107 |
-
“I could have been one of those who broke through the fence had I been much younger and was still living in the concentration camp called the Gaza Strip,” Salman Abu Sitta, now in his 80s, wrote in January.
|
| 108 |
-
|
| 109 |
-
Efrat Katz died on that day at the hands of those who were supposedly charged with protecting her.
|
| 110 |
-
|
| 111 |
-
Opportunity for a crime that didn’t happen
|
| 112 |
-
|
| 113 |
-
Shani Goren’s recollections of her capture on 7 October seem to be incongruous with the Israeli government’s allegations that Palestinian fighters were ordered by their commanders to rape Israeli women during the attack.
|
| 114 |
-
|
| 115 |
-
When the kibbutz came under attack early on Saturday morning, Goren followed phone advice from her brother Amit and barricaded herself in her bedroom. When five Palestinian fighters arrived and entered her bedroom, they found her wearing next to no clothes. “I was wearing underwear, no bra, and a crop top, what I usually wear to bed,” Goren told Dayan.
|
| 116 |
-
|
| 117 |
-
One of the fighters rifled through her wardrobe, pulled out leg coverings and passed them to her. “He threw tights at me,” Goren recalled. “He told me: ‘Get dressed.’”
|
| 118 |
-
|
| 119 |
-
At the time, Palestinian fighters had complete control of Kibbutz Nir Oz. “I look to either side – there are millions of them,” Goren remembers. “No one else. I say: ‘Where is the army?’”
|
| 120 |
-
|
| 121 |
-
If the Palestinian fighters had really been instructed to commit sex crimes on that day, they could have violated Goren with alarming ease. Instead, they led her on a walk around the village, seemingly to celebrate their conquest of the kibbutz.
|
| 122 |
-
|
| 123 |
-
Channel 12’s Dayan characterized it as “a kind of victory lap through the paths of Nir Oz.”
|
| 124 |
-
|
| 125 |
-
Hoping to calm her nerves, Goren asked the leader of the Palestinians who had abducted her for a cigarette. He then approached another fighter, secured a cigarette for her, and allowed her to smoke it. After a short time, another fighter yelled at her and she was forced to put it out.
|
| 126 |
-
|
| 127 |
-
The fact that a scantily clad 29-year-old Israeli woman was not sexually assaulted when her captors had ample opportunity to do so, or during her nearly two months of captivity in Gaza, cannot by itself prove that no sex crime occurred anywhere else on the battlefield that day.
|
| 128 |
-
|
| 129 |
-
But it does provide additional context against which to evaluate the Israeli claims – made on the basis of debunked and discredited accounts and thus far presented without any forensic evidence or first-person testimony – that such crimes were systematic, pre-planned and were perpetrated on the order of Hamas commanders “as a weapon of war.”
|
| 130 |
-
|
| 131 |
-
In this respect, Goren’s recollections of her experience can be added to those of Yasmin Porat, one of the only two Israelis to survive the shelling of the home ordered by General Barak Hiram at Kibbutz Be’eri.
|
| 132 |
-
|
| 133 |
-
In an interview with Israeli state radio in October, Porat recounted how the dozens of Palestinian fighters had treated her and the other civilians they were holding “humanely.”
|
| 134 |
-
|
| 135 |
-
She insisted that the fighters intended to “kidnap us to Gaza. Not to murder us.”
|
| 136 |
-
|
| 137 |
-
“It was very frightening but no one treated us violently,” Porat said. “Luckily nothing happened to me like what I heard in the media.”

Voiceover: It’s 6:45 am and this is a special news broadcast in the wake of a volley of missiles and rockets shot into Israeli territory.
|
| 144 |
-
|
| 145 |
-
Shani Goren: I call [my brother] Amit and he tells me: Get up, lock the door, shut everything, do not step out of the house. Lift the handle of the safe room and stay there.
|
| 146 |
-
|
| 147 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: Her brother Amit was not in Nir Oz that Saturday. Her sister Shira was at the kibbutz, as was her good friend Arbel Yahud, still at her home at this stage.
|
| 148 |
-
|
| 149 |
-
Shani Goren: I spoke with Arbel, we were both stressed. We couldn’t speak. We said we loved each other. We hoped they wouldn’t reach us and nothing would happen.
|
| 150 |
-
|
| 151 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: From that moment she was on the line with her brother’s partner the whole time.
|
| 152 |
-
|
| 153 |
-
Shani Goren: Nofar called me, I spoke with her for two hours.
|
| 154 |
-
|
| 155 |
-
Ilana Dayan: You just held each other on the line?
|
| 156 |
-
|
| 157 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes, later she told me it had been two hours. From my perspective we spoke for half an hour. I tell her: “I’m scared” and she says: “Breathe.” And then suddenly there were noises in the house. I whisper to her: “Nofar they’re here! They’re here!” She tells me: “Okay. Be quiet. Breathe. I’m with you on the line.” I was covered under the blanket. Crunched up, trying to stay close to the closet, in case they come. And then the door was opened quietly and they tossed in a grenade. I tell her: “They threw something at me, they threw a grenade!” Luckily for me the grenade did not explode. And after a few seconds they came in.
|
| 158 |
-
|
| 159 |
-
Ilana Dayan: This is the safe room, your bedroom is also the safe room.
|
| 160 |
-
|
| 161 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes, yes. They threw the grenade in this area and then four of them came in over here.
|
| 162 |
-
|
| 163 |
-
Ilana Dayan: And you are still lying down?
|
| 164 |
-
|
| 165 |
-
Shani Goren: I am in the bed, sitting. He makes this motion [crosses arms to form an X] – supposedly a sign of captivity. I realized this later when I reached Gaza. The guy in the house where we were did the same motion. I asked him: “What are you doing? What does that mean?” He tells me: “It means captivity.” I hadn’t understood what they wanted from me. So I resisted and every time I resisted, another one would approach me with his weapon.
|
| 166 |
-
|
| 167 |
-
Ilana Dayan: So you had four gun barrels trained on you?
|
| 168 |
-
|
| 169 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes and another one who started emptying out my closet. In the end he threw tights at me. He told me: “Get dressed.” Because I was wearing underwear, no bra, and a crop top, what I usually wear to bed. He says, “Get dressed” and points down to the flip-flops.
|
| 170 |
-
|
| 171 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Good God.
|
| 172 |
-
|
| 173 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes.
|
| 174 |
-
|
| 175 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Were they calm or nervous?
|
| 176 |
-
|
| 177 |
-
Shani Goren: He was nervous and stressed out, but he didn’t take it out on me. Agitated, he snatched the phone from my hand and pocketed it. He did this motion again [crosses arms to form an X]. Every time I said: “No no no!” They point more and more weapons at me. So I look at them in tears, in fear, begging for my life. I look at the weapon that is very close to me. And then the one negotiating with me knocked the weapon away from me. And then every time he tried to pick me up, I resisted. They just pulled me out.
|
| 178 |
-
|
| 179 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Did you manage to say goodbye to anyone?
|
| 180 |
-
|
| 181 |
-
Shani Goren: No I didn’t say goodbye to anyone. I didn’t think something like this could happen.
|
| 182 |
-
|
| 183 |
-
Ilana Dayan: And what is this room to you now?
|
| 184 |
-
|
| 185 |
-
Shani Goren: Defiled – for me it’s beyond the pale.
|
| 186 |
-
|
| 187 |
-
Ilana Dayan: It’s no longer your home?
|
| 188 |
-
|
| 189 |
-
Shani Goren: No. My home was broken on 7 October.
|
| 190 |
-
|
| 191 |
-
Ilana Dayan: You walked this way.
|
| 192 |
-
|
| 193 |
-
Shani Goren: They took me that way. He grabbed me by the hand and we walked around. We walked around so he could show me –
|
| 194 |
-
|
| 195 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: – to show her how they had conquered her kibbutz.
|
| 196 |
-
|
| 197 |
-
Shani Goren: I look to either side – there are millions of them.
|
| 198 |
-
|
| 199 |
-
Ilana Dayan: You see only terrorists.
|
| 200 |
-
|
| 201 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes, no one else. I say: “Where is the army? What’s happening?”
|
| 202 |
-
|
| 203 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: She is alone with five terrorists who take her on a kind of victory lap through the paths of Nir Oz.
|
| 204 |
-
|
| 205 |
-
Shani Goren: I see that whole row of houses torched. There were tons more there.
|
| 206 |
-
|
| 207 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Tons more terrorists?
|
| 208 |
-
|
| 209 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes.
|
| 210 |
-
|
| 211 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Meanwhile you saw no other kibbutz members?
|
| 212 |
-
|
| 213 |
-
Shani Goren: None, I only saw them, everywhere, emerging from every direction. I don’t remember where we got to, there was someone else there. I beg him: “I want a cigarette. I can’t breathe, I want a cigarette.”
|
| 214 |
-
|
| 215 |
-
Ilana Dayan: You tell him this?
|
| 216 |
-
|
| 217 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes. He tells me: “No, no there are no cigarettes.”
|
| 218 |
-
|
| 219 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Wow you are unbelievable.
|
| 220 |
-
|
| 221 |
-
Shani Goren: And then he gives me a cigarette.
|
| 222 |
-
|
| 223 |
-
Ilana Dayan: You manage to get a cigarette from him?
|
| 224 |
-
|
| 225 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes a mob passed through, he got a cigarette from one of them and gave it to me. After two drags, a huge guy with a beard arrived and yelled at me to drop the cigarette.
|
| 226 |
-
|
| 227 |
-
Ilana Dayan: No more cigarette.
|
| 228 |
-
|
| 229 |
-
Shani Goren: Yeah, no more cigarette. At a certain stage I see Doron and her daughters.
|
| 230 |
-
|
| 231 |
-
Ilana Dayan: You see they are with terrorists?
|
| 232 |
-
|
| 233 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes.
|
| 234 |
-
|
| 235 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Doron came here to visit her mother Efrat.
|
| 236 |
-
|
| 237 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes she came to visit her mom.
|
| 238 |
-
|
| 239 |
-
Ilana Dayan: I imagine you know Efrat for many years, she’s an old timer.
|
| 240 |
-
|
| 241 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes, Efrat is a neighbor of my mom. Doron as well, I knew her better when we were young.
|
| 242 |
-
|
| 243 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: For the first time she sees a familiar face in this hellscape: Doron Katz with her mother Efrat holding Doron’s two small girls.
|
| 244 |
-
|
| 245 |
-
Shani Goren: She screams out: “Shani! Shani!” And I went to them, I joined them. He leaves me and I am appended to them. I took … Doron tells me: “Take Raz from Efrat so she won’t be burdened.”
|
| 246 |
-
|
| 247 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Raz is the older one.
|
| 248 |
-
|
| 249 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes, I took Raz. The girls are panicking because they don’t know what’s going on. Then ahead of us was the vineyard, that’s where they gathered us.
|
| 250 |
-
|
| 251 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: Only when we see her here can we maybe begin to understand what she went through in those moments when the paths of the kibbutz where she was born and raised become the place from which she is kidnapped to Gaza.
|
| 252 |
-
|
| 253 |
-
Shani Goren: Everything was aflame. The whole way we saw burnt houses.
|
| 254 |
-
|
| 255 |
-
Ilana Dayan: They’re visible here.
|
| 256 |
-
|
| 257 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes. They gathered us here on the dirt path. There was a tuk tuk waiting on the road.
|
| 258 |
-
|
| 259 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: The vehicle approaching them is a motorbike pulling a flatbed and it stops next to the terrorists. They intend to load the captives onto it when suddenly the code red siren is heard.
|
| 260 |
-
|
| 261 |
-
Shani Goren: So we ran to the shelter. There too there were a few seconds –
|
| 262 |
-
|
| 263 |
-
Ilana Dayan: With the terrorists?
|
| 264 |
-
|
| 265 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes they ran in after us. Before the code red even ended they told us: “Come on, come on.”
|
| 266 |
-
|
| 267 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: By now she is in the tuk tuk’s flatbed with Efrat, Efrat’s daughter Doron and Doron’s two little girls.
|
| 268 |
-
|
| 269 |
-
Shani Goren: We sit inside. Suddenly we see Neomit also being led. They load her in with us.
|
| 270 |
-
|
| 271 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: Neomit Dekel-Chen, 63, head of landscaping at Nir Oz is already in the vehicle. Seconds later, David Cunio and one of his twin daughters were also dragged there.
|
| 272 |
-
|
| 273 |
-
Shani Goren: They try to start the engine. Suddenly we see Sharon being led with two others.
|
| 274 |
-
|
| 275 |
-
Ilana Dayan: The mother without the second daughter?
|
| 276 |
-
|
| 277 |
-
Shani Goren: Without the second daughter. And then David shouts: “That’s my wife! That’s my wife! Wait!” They load her on as well. We sit in the flatbed. The terrorists sit on the sides, they surround us, and then we start to drive. I try to stay focused for the girls, to calm them and say: “It’s okay, it’s alright.”
|
| 278 |
-
|
| 279 |
-
Ilana Dayan: But from your perspective –
|
| 280 |
-
|
| 281 |
-
Shani Goren: I’m dying of fear, it’s the worst possible nightmare.
|
| 282 |
-
|
| 283 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Are you mentally present or are you detached?
|
| 284 |
-
|
| 285 |
-
Shani Goren: Detached. Very detached. My heart is pounding horribly but it’s like I’m a different person.
|
| 286 |
-
|
| 287 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: What will happen in another moment has almost never been discussed until now. The captives are already in the vehicle, surrounded by terrorists on all sides, on the way to Gaza.
|
| 288 |
-
|
| 289 |
-
Shani Goren: We exit from here, turn left, drive –
|
| 290 |
-
|
| 291 |
-
Ilana Dayan: On this path we see here?
|
| 292 |
-
|
| 293 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes we drive and then there is a right turn. And we saw nothing.
|
| 294 |
-
|
| 295 |
-
Ilana Dayan: What do you mean, you saw nothing?
|
| 296 |
-
|
| 297 |
-
Shani Goren: Nothing, no army, nada, totally empty.
|
| 298 |
-
|
| 299 |
-
Ilana Dayan: You still expect them?
|
| 300 |
-
|
| 301 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes you always expect to see them.
|
| 302 |
-
|
| 303 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: She won’t see a single soldier. But suddenly from the sky, a sound is heard that sparks an ember of hope.
|
| 304 |
-
|
| 305 |
-
Shani Goren: 150 meters before the border we suddenly hear a combat helicopter in the skies.
|
| 306 |
-
|
| 307 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: The combat helicopter coming up over them sees from the cockpit what he never could have imagined: streams of terrorists and Israeli civilians among them being taken captive to Gaza.
|
| 308 |
-
|
| 309 |
-
Ilana Dayan: The helicopter accompanied you for a fair while overhead?
|
| 310 |
-
|
| 311 |
-
Shani Goren: I don’t remember exactly how long, but it was there. We say: “Good, maybe the army is here. Maybe something is happening.”
|
| 312 |
-
|
| 313 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: And something in fact happens from the helicopter’s direction, within minutes.
|
| 314 |
-
|
| 315 |
-
Shani Goren: And then suddenly it opened with a volley of gunfire.
|
| 316 |
-
|
| 317 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Coming from above.
|
| 318 |
-
|
| 319 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes.
|
| 320 |
-
|
| 321 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: The time is now 11:30 am. The helicopter pilot makes a decision in a nearly impossible situation. It aims gunfire at the small vehicle laden with terrorists, but also with Israeli captives.
|
| 322 |
-
|
| 323 |
-
Shani Goren: It was a terrifying moment. It lasted seconds. I lower my head. I realize my pants are all ripped and covered in blood. I raise my head and see dominoes.
|
| 324 |
-
|
| 325 |
-
Ilana Dayan: What do you mean?
|
| 326 |
-
|
| 327 |
-
Shani Goren: All the terrorists – dead.
|
| 328 |
-
|
| 329 |
-
Ilana Dayan: The second you raise your head?
|
| 330 |
-
|
| 331 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes.
|
| 332 |
-
|
| 333 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: One of the captives, Doron’s mother, suffers a lethal wound from the gunfire.
|
| 334 |
-
|
| 335 |
-
Shani Goren: Sadly Efrat Katz was killed on the spot.
|
| 336 |
-
|
| 337 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Do you manage to see Efrat?
|
| 338 |
-
|
| 339 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes.
|
| 340 |
-
|
| 341 |
-
Ilana Dayan: That’s one of the memories you are trying to erase?
|
| 342 |
-
|
| 343 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes.
|
| 344 |
-
|
| 345 |
-
Ilana Dayan: To erase.
|
| 346 |
-
|
| 347 |
-
Shani Goren: To erase, yes.
|
| 348 |
-
|
| 349 |
-
Ilana Dayan: You think about the pilot and you say –
|
| 350 |
-
|
| 351 |
-
Shani Goren: Poor guy. I don’t know … I really don’t envy him. He made a difficult decision. But he almost saved us.
|
| 352 |
-
|
| 353 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Almost.
|
| 354 |
-
|
| 355 |
-
Shani Goren: Almost. We were all wounded, I was hit by shrapnel. For a second we didn’t know what to do. I took Aviv in my arms.
|
| 356 |
-
|
| 357 |
-
Ilana Dayan: The little one.
|
| 358 |
-
|
| 359 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes. David [Cunio] took Yuli, their daughter. Neomit takes Raz and we run to the field.
|
| 360 |
-
|
| 361 |
-
Ilana Dayan: How far do you think you ran? How many meters?
|
| 362 |
-
|
| 363 |
-
Shani Goren: I don��t know, not too many, but we did take some distance. We ran but Doron stayed with her mom at the wagon.
|
| 364 |
-
|
| 365 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Because Doron wasn’t capable of leaving her mother?
|
| 366 |
-
|
| 367 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes. It was not an easy moment.
|
| 368 |
-
|
| 369 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Actually Doron said in an interview with Channel 12 News: “I realized I had no way to help her, that I must stick with the girls, otherwise they’ll take me separately and them separately. So with zero energy, while bleeding, I just walked towards them.”
|
| 370 |
-
|
| 371 |
-
Shani Goren: Doron came to us white, bleeding from behind. Sharon gets up to help her. To bring her to us. Neomit is lying down, Aviv is on my lap. Aviv was wounded. One of her toes got cut in two. I took off my shirt, I put it on her foot.
|
| 372 |
-
|
| 373 |
-
Ilana Dayan: A 2-year-old girl.
|
| 374 |
-
|
| 375 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes
|
| 376 |
-
|
| 377 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: It is already just after 11:30 [am]. The terrorists that captured them were all killed apparently. Except for one [sic]. Shani and the others are still in Israeli territory, so close to Nir Oz.
|
| 378 |
-
|
| 379 |
-
Shani Goren: We run to the middle of the field and sit there, and we look at the skies.
|
| 380 |
-
|
| 381 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: And the helicopter is still above them too. But it’s no longer shooting.
|
| 382 |
-
|
| 383 |
-
Shani Goren: If only his ammunition hadn’t run out.
|
| 384 |
-
|
| 385 |
-
Ilana Dayan: Is that what they told you? That he ran out of ammunition?
|
| 386 |
-
|
| 387 |
-
Shani Goren: I’m not certain it’s true, but that’s what they said.
|
| 388 |
-
|
| 389 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: On the Sabbath afternoon, in the heart of this exposed field, they now realize that no one will save them. They have been left to their fate. But they all manage to take care of each other, even there.
|
| 390 |
-
|
| 391 |
-
Ilana Dayan: In all that chaos, does the thought of fleeing cross your mind?
|
| 392 |
-
|
| 393 |
-
Shani Goren: It crossed my mind. David also suggested: Maybe let’s run to the bushes? I told myself: Maybe I’ll run? Then I told myself: “How could I really run? I cannot leave the girls here. There’s no way to know what will happen. Doron is wounded – who will take care of them?”
|
| 394 |
-
|
| 395 |
-
Ilana Dayan: It sounds like your decision-making faculties are always working. What course of action is correct? Is moral? Is possible? It’s always working!
|
| 396 |
-
|
| 397 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes, but both working and not working. And then another tractor comes. Full of pillage. A kibbutz landscaping tractor.
|
| 398 |
-
|
| 399 |
-
Ilana Dayan: You recognized it belonged to the kibbutz.
|
| 400 |
-
|
| 401 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes. Neomit said: “Pretend you’re dead.” We couldn’t really pretend to be dead because we were with children. And then he stops, and motions for us to come, but no one does. He comes over to us and takes Raz from Doron, and starts to walk. That second we all got up. Then he loaded us onto the wagon. They took [pillaged] equipment off the wagon and they sat us down there.
|
| 402 |
-
|
| 403 |
-
Ilana Dayan [voice-over]: The tractor carrying eight captives is already speeding towards Gaza, leaving behind Neomit who manages to lie there without moving. Wounded and bleeding, she will crawl the whole way back to the kibbutz.
|
| 404 |
-
|
| 405 |
-
Shani Goren: We continue driving, we see a burning tank. And there is no fence. And the helicopter disappeared. It can’t be heard anymore and it can’t be seen anymore.
|
| 406 |
-
|
| 407 |
-
Ilana Dayan: And if you would meet the pilot now, what would you tell him?
|
| 408 |
-
|
| 409 |
-
Shani Goren: I would tell him: “Thank you – and why didn’t you stay?” Also: “Why weren’t you there, here, to take down everyone here? If one helicopter had fired, everything would be okay. We would never have gotten to Gaza.”
|
| 410 |
-
|
| 411 |
-
[Video is screened on a laptop]
|
| 412 |
-
|
| 413 |
-
Ilana Dayan: This is Doron, right?
|
| 414 |
-
|
| 415 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes. Yes.
|
| 416 |
-
|
| 417 |
-
Ilana Dayan: This is you.
|
| 418 |
-
|
| 419 |
-
Shani Goren: Yes, that’s me.
|
| 420 |
-
|
| 421 |
-
Ilana Dayan: And who are you hugging here?
|
| 422 |
-
|
| 423 |
-
Shani Goren: Raz. I was also trying to hide, to get inside as much as possible. At that moment my fear was that if the helicopter shot at us again and this time it is my back that is exposed. If he shoots again, it’s me who dies.

</figcaption></figure>“It is quite simple. We have no business,” a shopkeeper in Bethlehem’s Old City tells me when I ask him how his business is faring after four years of Intifada and intensified Israeli military occupation. Camels and religious figures carved out of olive wood sit neatly and undisturbed on their shelves. His inventory is the same as it was four years ago. Since no one comes into his store to buy his souvenirs, he doesn’t replenish his stock. And because businessmen like him are not ordering more merchandise, the factories in Bethlehem are at a standstill.
|
| 113 |
-
<p>However, cheerful international media reports on Bethlehem make it seem as though the historic town is enjoying a rebirth of tourism. An Associated Press article reports that the city is “often still full of tour buses,” and because of a November joint agreement between the Israeli and Palestinian Ministers of Tourism to cooperate to help build their respective tourism industries, the press is singing hopeful songs about the revival of religious pilgrims to the area.</p>
|
| 114 |
-
<p>It has been reported that during the Christmas season, an Israeli Tourism Ministry official will greet religious tourists with bags of sweets at the Gilo checkpoint that separates Bethlehem from Jerusalem, named after the illegal Israeli settlement nearby. But there was no such reception for this visitor Wednesday morning. Instead, I was made to wait on a bench for fifteen minutes while the bored Israeli soldiers flipped through a car magazine before they finally checked my passport and let me through, asking me brusquely in Arabic what I was intending to do in Bethlehem, and what I was planning on buying.</p>
|
| 115 |

<p>“The economy in Bethlehem is dramatically different now [since the beginning of the Intifada],” the shopkeeper in the Old City says, explaining that people are living off of savings accumulated during the tourism boom right after the Oslo Accords and before the current Intifada that broke out late September 2000. Unemployment is rampant, and in the last four years, nearly 10 percent of Bethlehem’s Christian population has immigrated abroad, causing much worry about the disintegration of the town’s cultural diversity.</p>
|
| 116 |
-
<p>Manger Square, which was bustling Wednesday with local children giddy with holiday excitement, is remarkably devoid of tourists despite the Christmas season. And when I walked down the Milk Grotto road, which leads from Manger Square to the site where legend has it that Jesus received his first feeding, more than half of the shops were closed. Workers at one of the opened stores were busily cleaning its very dirty windows, and it was clear that this was the first time the shop had been open in a long time.</p>
|
| 117 |
-
<p>Bethlehem has seen much trauma to its economy since the Intifada. A recent <span class="caps">UN</span> report informs, “a total of 28 hotels, 240 olive wood and mother-of-pearl workshops, and 50 restaurants have closed.” Fears of violence and Israeli intimidation and closure have stopped religious tourists from coming to both Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and those that do come to what they consider the Holy Land tend to spend most of their time in Jerusalem, and make only brief day trips to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Since approximately 18 percent of Bethlehem’s population was employed in the tourism sector before the Intifada, and the Annexation Wall that is ghettoizing Bethlehem continues to be built, the outlook is grim.</p>
|
| 118 |
-
<p>An hotelier tells me that before the Intifada, the situation was good. Built in 1999, his business was immediately successful, and he boasted its four-star rating. When it opened, the hotel employed 45 people, but currently it employs only eight. Though it has 85 rooms and 160 beds, the hotel sometimes goes by for a month with no customers. At the best times, the hotelier says, ten rooms are occupied. This, despite that before the Intifada the hotel was full all year. And even though Bethlehem is at its peak tourism season, only one of his rooms was occupied at the time of my visit.</p>
|
| 119 |
-
<p>He explains how tourists are intimidated by Israeli soldiers at the checkpoints that close off Bethlehem from Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank. “The guides and tourists say when they come to Bethlehem, the soldiers at the checkpoints hold them up for such a long time that they think Bethlehem is unsafe,” so they are afraid to sleep in Bethlehem and they immediately return to Jerusalem after visiting Bethlehem’s holy sites.</p>

And Israeli tour packages arrange it so that Christian tourists visit religious sites in Israel before coming to Bethlehem, so by the time they get to Bethlehem they have already spent most of their time and money. And because foreign tourists are too scared to come to the West Bank, most of the hotel’s customers are Palestinians from other areas of the West Bank, where the Israeli system of checkpoints and road closures make it too difficult to visit one city and return the same day. But unlike foreign tourists, Palestinian customers of the hotel stay only one night, rather than multiple nights.
|

<p>In 2002, a group of Brazilian tourists were staying at the hotel when they went on a day trip to Jerusalem. When they attempted to pass back through Gilo checkpoint, which prevents free movement between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, they were initially denied access. When they explained to the Israeli soldiers that their documents and possessions were back at the hotel in Bethlehem, the soldiers confiscated their passports and gave them only one hour to retrieve their belongings from the hotel and return to the checkpoint.</p>
|
| 125 |
-
<p>Worse yet, during the summer of 2002, the Israeli soldiers set up a military base in the hotel, causing damage in excess of $10,000. Annoyed because the phone kept on ringing, they decided to destroy the $10,000 phone unit. Doorframes were damaged as well. And this hotel is not alone - the Bethlehem Inn sustained a devastating $2 million loss after Israeli soldiers occupied it for four years.</p>
|
| 126 |

<p>Though Bethlehem is not currently under siege as it was for 38 days in 2002, when Israeli troops attacked the Church of the Nativity, current Israeli actions are ensuring that economic recovery for Bethlehem will be a long time coming. The illegal Annexation Wall is being built around Bethlehem well away from the 1949 armistice line, not only cutting off residents from their land, but making access to the town all that more difficult to come by.</p>
|
| 127 |
-
<p>At the completely walled-in Rachel’s Tomb, which used to be home to a busy nightlife, there are currently only eight businesses whereas in 2002 there were 80. The wall cuts off the main artery from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, bleeding the area of all commerce and activity, though Jewish-Israeli tourists enjoy free access via special Jews-only bypass roads. While pre-Intifada two or three buses full of Christian tourists would come to the area daily, now a half-full bus comes only every two or three months, some men at a large souvenir shop tell me. They show me a package of batteries that expired in 2001, evidence of the freeze in tourism.</p>
|
| 128 |
-
<p>“When it rains, everybody gets wet,” one of the older men tells me. Making a point to explain that both Israeli and Palestinian tourism has suffered, he explains that the lack of tourism causes a chain reaction, and that it affects all industries. The shopkeepers’ frustration is palpable — everybody knows about the decline in tourism, they say, but nobody is doing anything about it. Indeed, as I later wandered around Manger Square, it was clear that there were more journalists than tourists, and through the problems of Bethlehem are being documented, change is not happening.</p>

</figcaption></figure>And of course, Palestinians have a much more difficult time accessing their holy sites than do foreign tourists. Despite the 1993 agreement to allow unfettered access to holy sites, during 2003, only 2,785 permits were issued by Israel to Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem wishing to travel to Jerusalem during the 2003 Christmas season. And there was little regard for the permit dates — “an Orthodox Christian could receive a permit to enter Jerusalem on 24 December rather than for 7 January, the Orthodox Christmas Day,” the aforementioned <span class="caps">UN</span> report states.
|
| 131 |
-
<p>Palestinian Muslims residing in Bethlehem and in the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories wanting to pray at the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, the third holiest site to Muslims, experienced similar problems this year during Ramadan. According to the <span class="caps">UN</span> report, “In 2004, only men over 50 years and women over 45 years were allowed to cross at Gilo checkpoint to reach the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In practice, closures and sudden security alerts reduce the numbers of those actually able to pass.” And even within Bethlehem, Muslims are unable to access the Bilal Mosque, located at Rachel’s Tomb.</p>
|
| 132 |
-
<p>While the eve of a new year traditionally is a time of hope, until Israeli occupation practices are abated, there is little optimism for Bethlehem’s tourism industry and those who depend on it. But as the shopkeeper in the Old City tells me, “If we don’t have hope we will have everything to lose.”</p>

Clare Murphy)</p>\n</figcaption></figure>“It is quite simple. We have no business,” a shopkeeper in Bethlehem’s Old City tells me when I ask him how his business is faring after four years of Intifada and intensified Israeli military occupation. Camels and religious figures carved out of olive wood sit neatly and undisturbed on their shelves. His inventory is the same as it was four years ago. Since no one comes into his store to buy his souvenirs, he doesn’t replenish his stock. And because businessmen like him are not ordering more merchandise, the factories in Bethlehem are at a standstill.\n<p>However, cheerful international media reports on Bethlehem make it seem as though the historic town is enjoying a rebirth of tourism. An Associated Press article reports that the city is “often still full of tour buses,” and because of a November joint agreement between the Israeli and Palestinian Ministers of Tourism to cooperate to help build their respective tourism industries, the press is singing hopeful songs about the revival of religious pilgrims to the area.</p>\n<p>It has been reported that during the Christmas season, an Israeli Tourism Ministry official will greet religious tourists with bags of sweets at the Gilo checkpoint that separates Bethlehem from Jerusalem, named after the illegal Israeli settlement nearby. But there was no such reception for this visitor Wednesday morning. Instead, I was made to wait on a bench for fifteen minutes while the bored Israeli soldiers flipped through a car magazine before they finally checked my passport and let me through, asking me brusquely in Arabic what I was intending to do in Bethlehem, and what I was planning on buying.</p>\n<p>“The economy in Bethlehem is dramatically different now [since the beginning of the Intifada],” the shopkeeper in the Old City says, explaining that people are living off of savings accumulated during the tourism boom right after the Oslo Accords and before the current Intifada that broke out late September 2000. Unemployment is rampant, and in the last four years, nearly 10 percent of Bethlehem’s Christian population has immigrated abroad, causing much worry about the disintegration of the town’s cultural diversity.</p>\n<p>Manger Square, which was bustling Wednesday with local children giddy with holiday excitement, is remarkably devoid of tourists despite the Christmas season. And when I walked down the Milk Grotto road, which leads from Manger Square to the site where legend has it that Jesus received his first feeding, more than half of the shops were closed. Workers at one of the opened stores were busily cleaning its very dirty windows, and it was clear that this was the first time the shop had been open in a long time.</p>\n<p>Bethlehem has seen much trauma to its economy since the Intifada. A recent <span class=\"caps\">UN</span> report informs, “a total of 28 hotels, 240 olive wood and mother-of-pearl workshops, and 50 restaurants have closed.” Fears of violence and Israeli intimidation and closure have stopped religious tourists from coming to both Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and those that do come to what they consider the Holy Land tend to spend most of their time in Jerusalem, and make only brief day trips to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Since approximately 18 percent of Bethlehem’s population was employed in the tourism sector before the Intifada, and the Annexation Wall that is ghettoizing Bethlehem continues to be built, the outlook is grim.</p>\n<p>An hotelier tells me that before the Intifada, the situation was good. Built in 1999, his business was immediately successful, and he boasted its four-star rating. When it opened, the hotel employed 45 people, but currently it employs only eight. Though it has 85 rooms and 160 beds, the hotel sometimes goes by for a month with no customers. At the best times, the hotelier says, ten rooms are occupied. This, despite that before the Intifada the hotel was full all year. And even though Bethlehem is at its peak tourism season, only one of his rooms was occupied at the time of my visit.</p>\n<p>He explains how tourists are intimidated by Israeli soldiers at the checkpoints that close off Bethlehem from Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank. “The guides and tourists say when they come to Bethlehem, the soldiers at the checkpoints hold them up for such a long time that they think Bethlehem is unsafe,” so they are afraid to sleep in Bethlehem and they immediately return to Jerusalem after visiting Bethlehem’s holy sites.</p>\n<figure id=\"file-4679\" class=\"media media-element-container media-figure media-wysiwyg-align-left file file-image file-image-jpeg\"><picture><!--[if IE 9]><video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source srcset=\"https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_800w/public/2004-12/nativity230.jpg?itok=5Fwhy3vM&timestamp=1448949295 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 72rem)\"></source><!--[if IE 9]></video><![endif]--><img src=\"https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_800w/public/2004-12/nativity230.jpg?itok=5Fwhy3vM&timestamp=1448949295\" width=\"230\" height=\"307\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" /></picture><figcaption class=\"group-caption field-group-html-element\"><p>Though the Church of the Nativity will be packed Christmas Eve, the number of tourists coming to the church built on the site believed to be the birthplace of Jesus has dropped off during the past four years (Maureen Clare Murphy)</p>\n</figcaption></figure><figure id=\"file-4680\" class=\"media media-element-container media-figure media-wysiwyg-align-right file file-image file-image-jpeg\"><picture><!--[if IE 9]><video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source srcset=\"https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_800w/public/2004-12/oldcity230.jpg?itok=7ftzvwYx&timestamp=1448949295 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 72rem)\"></source><!--[if IE 9]></video><![endif]--><img src=\"https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_800w/public/2004-12/oldcity230.jpg?itok=7ftzvwYx&timestamp=1448949295\" width=\"230\" height=\"308\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" /></picture><figcaption class=\"group-caption field-group-html-element\"><p>The Old City of Bethlehem, where heavy fighting during April 2002, and which is now isolated by Israel’s wall and checkpoints (Maureen Clare Murphy)</p>\n</figcaption></figure><br clear=\"ALL\" /><br />\nAnd Israeli tour packages arrange it so that Christian tourists visit religious sites in Israel before coming to Bethlehem, so by the time they get to Bethlehem they have already spent most of their time and money. And because foreign tourists are too scared to come to the West Bank, most of the hotel’s customers are Palestinians from other areas of the West Bank, where the Israeli system of checkpoints and road closures make it too difficult to visit one city and return the same day. But unlike foreign tourists, Palestinian customers of the hotel stay only one night, rather than multiple nights.\n<p>In 2002, a group of Brazilian tourists were staying at the hotel when they went on a day trip to Jerusalem. When they attempted to pass back through Gilo checkpoint, which prevents free movement between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, they were initially denied access. When they explained to the Israeli soldiers that their documents and possessions were back at the hotel in Bethlehem, the soldiers confiscated their passports and gave them only one hour to retrieve their belongings from the hotel and return to the checkpoint.</p>\n<p>Worse yet, during the summer of 2002, the Israeli soldiers set up a military base in the hotel, causing damage in excess of $10,000. Annoyed because the phone kept on ringing, they decided to destroy the $10,000 phone unit. Doorframes were damaged as well. And this hotel is not alone - the Bethlehem Inn sustained a devastating $2 million loss after Israeli soldiers occupied it for four years.</p>\n<p>Though Bethlehem is not currently under siege as it was for 38 days in 2002, when Israeli troops attacked the Church of the Nativity, current Israeli actions are ensuring that economic recovery for Bethlehem will be a long time coming. The illegal Annexation Wall is being built around Bethlehem well away from the 1949 armistice line, not only cutting off residents from their land, but making access to the town all that more difficult to come by.</p>\n<p>At the completely walled-in Rachel’s Tomb, which used to be home to a busy nightlife, there are currently only eight businesses whereas in 2002 there were 80. The wall cuts off the main artery from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, bleeding the area of all commerce and activity, though Jewish-Israeli tourists enjoy free access via special Jews-only bypass roads. While pre-Intifada two or three buses full of Christian tourists would come to the area daily, now a half-full bus comes only every two or three months, some men at a large souvenir shop tell me. They show me a package of batteries that expired in 2001, evidence of the freeze in tourism.</p>\n<p>“When it rains, everybody gets wet,” one of the older men tells me. Making a point to explain that both Israeli and Palestinian tourism has suffered, he explains that the lack of tourism causes a chain reaction, and that it affects all industries. The shopkeepers’ frustration is palpable — everybody knows about the decline in tourism, they say, but nobody is doing anything about it. Indeed, as I later wandered around Manger Square, it was clear that there were more journalists than tourists, and through the problems of Bethlehem are being documented, change is not happening.</p>\n<figure id=\"file-4676\" class=\"media media-element-container media-figure media-wysiwyg-align-right file file-image file-image-jpeg\"><picture><!--[if IE 9]><video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source srcset=\"https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_800w/public/2004-12/domerock280.jpg?itok=wQ9tiItp&timestamp=1448949295 1x\" media=\"(min-width: 72rem)\"></source><!--[if IE 9]></video><![endif]--><img src=\"https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_800w/public/2004-12/domerock280.jpg?itok=wQ9tiItp&timestamp=1448949295\" width=\"280\" height=\"179\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" /></picture><figcaption class=\"group-caption field-group-html-element\"><p>The Dome of the Rock at the Haram Ash-Sharif compound in the Old City if Jerusalem, one of the three most important sites in Islam (Maureen Clare Murphy)</p>\n</figcaption></figure>And of course, Palestinians have a much more difficult time accessing their holy sites than do foreign tourists. Despite the 1993 agreement to allow unfettered access to holy sites, during 2003, only 2,785 permits were issued by Israel to Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem wishing to travel to Jerusalem during the 2003 Christmas season. And there was little regard for the permit dates — “an Orthodox Christian could receive a permit to enter Jerusalem on 24 December rather than for 7 January, the Orthodox Christmas Day,” the aforementioned <span class=\"caps\">UN</span> report states.\n<p>Palestinian Muslims residing in Bethlehem and in the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories wanting to pray at the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, the third holiest site to Muslims, experienced similar problems this year during Ramadan. According to the <span class=\"caps\">UN</span> report, “In 2004, only men over 50 years and women over 45 years were allowed to cross at Gilo checkpoint to reach the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In practice, closures and sudden security alerts reduce the numbers of those actually able to pass.” And even within Bethlehem, Muslims are unable to access the Bilal Mosque, located at Rachel’s Tomb.</p>\n<p>While the eve of a new year traditionally is a time of hope, until Israeli occupation practices are abated, there is little optimism for Bethlehem’s tourism industry and those who depend on it. But as the shopkeeper in the Old City tells me, “If we don’t have hope we will have everything to lose.”</p>\n<p><i>Maureen Clare Murphy is currently in Ramallah doing an internship with the Palestinian human rights <span class=\"caps\">NGO</span> <a href=\"http://asp.alhaq.org/zalhaq/site/home.aspx?ln=en\" target=\"_blank\">Al-Haq</a>, where this story was also published.

Shuttered souvenir shops along the Milk Grotto road in the Old City of Bethlehem (Maureen Clare Murphy)
|

-
“It is quite simple. We have no business,” a shopkeeper in Bethlehem’s Old City tells me when I ask him how his business is faring after four years of Intifada and intensified Israeli military occupation. Camels and religious figures carved out of olive wood sit neatly and undisturbed on their shelves. His inventory is the same as it was four years ago. Since no one comes into his store to buy his souvenirs, he doesn’t replenish his stock. And because businessmen like him are not ordering more merchandise, the factories in Bethlehem are at a standstill.
|

However, cheerful international media reports on Bethlehem make it seem as though the historic town is enjoying a rebirth of tourism. An Associated Press article reports that the city is “often still full of tour buses,” and because of a November joint agreement between the Israeli and Palestinian Ministers of Tourism to cooperate to help build their respective tourism industries, the press is singing hopeful songs about the revival of religious pilgrims to the area.
|

It has been reported that during the Christmas season, an Israeli Tourism Ministry official will greet religious tourists with bags of sweets at the Gilo checkpoint that separates Bethlehem from Jerusalem, named after the illegal Israeli settlement nearby. But there was no such reception for this visitor Wednesday morning. Instead, I was made to wait on a bench for fifteen minutes while the bored Israeli soldiers flipped through a car magazine before they finally checked my passport and let me through, asking me brusquely in Arabic what I was intending to do in Bethlehem, and what I was planning on buying.
|

“The economy in Bethlehem is dramatically different now [since the beginning of the Intifada],” the shopkeeper in the Old City says, explaining that people are living off of savings accumulated during the tourism boom right after the Oslo Accords and before the current Intifada that broke out late September 2000. Unemployment is rampant, and in the last four years, nearly 10 percent of Bethlehem’s Christian population has immigrated abroad, causing much worry about the disintegration of the town’s cultural diversity.
|

Manger Square, which was bustling Wednesday with local children giddy with holiday excitement, is remarkably devoid of tourists despite the Christmas season. And when I walked down the Milk Grotto road, which leads from Manger Square to the site where legend has it that Jesus received his first feeding, more than half of the shops were closed. Workers at one of the opened stores were busily cleaning its very dirty windows, and it was clear that this was the first time the shop had been open in a long time.
|

Bethlehem has seen much trauma to its economy since the Intifada. A recent UN report informs, “a total of 28 hotels, 240 olive wood and mother-of-pearl workshops, and 50 restaurants have closed.” Fears of violence and Israeli intimidation and closure have stopped religious tourists from coming to both Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and those that do come to what they consider the Holy Land tend to spend most of their time in Jerusalem, and make only brief day trips to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Since approximately 18 percent of Bethlehem’s population was employed in the tourism sector before the Intifada, and the Annexation Wall that is ghettoizing Bethlehem continues to be built, the outlook is grim.
|

An hotelier tells me that before the Intifada, the situation was good. Built in 1999, his business was immediately successful, and he boasted its four-star rating. When it opened, the hotel employed 45 people, but currently it employs only eight. Though it has 85 rooms and 160 beds, the hotel sometimes goes by for a month with no customers. At the best times, the hotelier says, ten rooms are occupied. This, despite that before the Intifada the hotel was full all year. And even though Bethlehem is at its peak tourism season, only one of his rooms was occupied at the time of my visit.
|

He explains how tourists are intimidated by Israeli soldiers at the checkpoints that close off Bethlehem from Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank. “The guides and tourists say when they come to Bethlehem, the soldiers at the checkpoints hold them up for such a long time that they think Bethlehem is unsafe,” so they are afraid to sleep in Bethlehem and they immediately return to Jerusalem after visiting Bethlehem’s holy sites.

Though the Church of the Nativity will be packed Christmas Eve, the number of tourists coming to the church built on the site believed to be the birthplace of Jesus has dropped off during the past four years (Maureen Clare Murphy)

The Old City of Bethlehem, where heavy fighting during April 2002, and which is now isolated by Israel’s wall and checkpoints (Maureen Clare Murphy)

And Israeli tour packages arrange it so that Christian tourists visit religious sites in Israel before coming to Bethlehem, so by the time they get to Bethlehem they have already spent most of their time and money. And because foreign tourists are too scared to come to the West Bank, most of the hotel’s customers are Palestinians from other areas of the West Bank, where the Israeli system of checkpoints and road closures make it too difficult to visit one city and return the same day. But unlike foreign tourists, Palestinian customers of the hotel stay only one night, rather than multiple nights.
|

-
In 2002, a group of Brazilian tourists were staying at the hotel when they went on a day trip to Jerusalem. When they attempted to pass back through Gilo checkpoint, which prevents free movement between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, they were initially denied access. When they explained to the Israeli soldiers that their documents and possessions were back at the hotel in Bethlehem, the soldiers confiscated their passports and gave them only one hour to retrieve their belongings from the hotel and return to the checkpoint.
|
| 15 |
-
Worse yet, during the summer of 2002, the Israeli soldiers set up a military base in the hotel, causing damage in excess of $10,000. Annoyed because the phone kept on ringing, they decided to destroy the $10,000 phone unit. Doorframes were damaged as well. And this hotel is not alone - the Bethlehem Inn sustained a devastating $2 million loss after Israeli soldiers occupied it for four years.
|
| 16 |
-
Though Bethlehem is not currently under siege as it was for 38 days in 2002, when Israeli troops attacked the Church of the Nativity, current Israeli actions are ensuring that economic recovery for Bethlehem will be a long time coming. The illegal Annexation Wall is being built around Bethlehem well away from the 1949 armistice line, not only cutting off residents from their land, but making access to the town all that more difficult to come by.
|

At the completely walled-in Rachel’s Tomb, which used to be home to a busy nightlife, there are currently only eight businesses whereas in 2002 there were 80. The wall cuts off the main artery from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, bleeding the area of all commerce and activity, though Jewish-Israeli tourists enjoy free access via special Jews-only bypass roads. While pre-Intifada two or three buses full of Christian tourists would come to the area daily, now a half-full bus comes only every two or three months, some men at a large souvenir shop tell me. They show me a package of batteries that expired in 2001, evidence of the freeze in tourism.
|

“When it rains, everybody gets wet,” one of the older men tells me. Making a point to explain that both Israeli and Palestinian tourism has suffered, he explains that the lack of tourism causes a chain reaction, and that it affects all industries. The shopkeepers’ frustration is palpable — everybody knows about the decline in tourism, they say, but nobody is doing anything about it. Indeed, as I later wandered around Manger Square, it was clear that there were more journalists than tourists, and through the problems of Bethlehem are being documented, change is not happening.

The Dome of the Rock at the Haram Ash-Sharif compound in the Old City if Jerusalem, one of the three most important sites in Islam (Maureen Clare Murphy)

And of course, Palestinians have a much more difficult time accessing their holy sites than do foreign tourists. Despite the 1993 agreement to allow unfettered access to holy sites, during 2003, only 2,785 permits were issued by Israel to Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem wishing to travel to Jerusalem during the 2003 Christmas season. And there was little regard for the permit dates — “an Orthodox Christian could receive a permit to enter Jerusalem on 24 December rather than for 7 January, the Orthodox Christmas Day,” the aforementioned UN report states.
|
| 21 |
-
Palestinian Muslims residing in Bethlehem and in the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories wanting to pray at the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, the third holiest site to Muslims, experienced similar problems this year during Ramadan. According to the UN report, “In 2004, only men over 50 years and women over 45 years were allowed to cross at Gilo checkpoint to reach the Al-Aqsa Mosque. In practice, closures and sudden security alerts reduce the numbers of those actually able to pass.” And even within Bethlehem, Muslims are unable to access the Bilal Mosque, located at Rachel’s Tomb.
|
| 22 |
-
While the eve of a new year traditionally is a time of hope, until Israeli occupation practices are abated, there is little optimism for Bethlehem’s tourism industry and those who depend on it. But as the shopkeeper in the Old City tells me, “If we don’t have hope we will have everything to lose.”

<p>Of all the horrifying statistics, one is particularly shocking: <a href="http://www.ochaopt.org/documents/ocha_opt_sitrep_26_08_2014.pdf">142 families lost three members or more in single Israeli strikes</a>. I started the project #ObliteratedFamilies — now available for <a href="http://activestills.org/node.php?node=exhibition_307">download</a> and exhibitioning all over the world — to <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/photos-gazas-shattered-families/14197">document such loss</a>. It began as a project about the victims, but soon became also a project about the survivors. How can one cope with loss on this scale?</p>

<p>With the support of the Gaza-based human rights group Al Mezan, I met more than 50 families profoundly affected by Israel’s deadly attacks. I have never been exposed to such pain. Months after the end of the attacks, many Palestinians I met were still traumatized and in deep grief. Many also expressed their doubt of any prospect for justice for the crimes committed against their loved ones.</p>

<p>Some broke down and cried during our interview, others expressed their anger or were still in shock and unable to comprehend what had happened to them.</p>

<p>When I visited the homes of these mourning families, the memory of their lost kin was always present, though in varying ways. In some homes, their photos were displayed atop TV sets or on the walls. Sometimes, the victims’ clothes and belongings were as they left them, months after their death, as if they would soon return. In other homes, family members constantly looked at photos and videos of their loved ones on their mobile phones.</p>

Gaza, on 19 November 2014. The girl died in an Israeli air strike on 1 August 2014 that also killed her father Bassam, her mother Eman and her 2-year-old sister Jana. Her 3-year-old cousin Yousef was also killed, and a great-uncle later died of his wounds. Today, many of the ruins of destroyed homes have not been cleared and personal belongings remain scattered in the ruins.</p></figcaption></figure><p>Documenting Israel’s military assault on Gaza last summer, I witnessed what can only be called atrocities: hospitals and morgues, overwhelmed by the constant flow of casualties; nights of terror under widespread and indiscriminate bombing; attacks on hospitals, ambulances and United Nations schools used as shelters; entire neighborhoods destroyed.</p>\n\n<p>Of all the horrifying statistics, one is particularly shocking: <a href=\"http://www.ochaopt.org/documents/ocha_opt_sitrep_26_08_2014.pdf\">142 families lost three members or more in single Israeli strikes</a>. I started the project #ObliteratedFamilies — now available for <a href=\"http://activestills.org/node.php?node=exhibition_307\">download</a> and exhibitioning all over the world — to <a href=\"https://electronicintifada.net/content/photos-gazas-shattered-families/14197\">document such loss</a>. It began as a project about the victims, but soon became also a project about the survivors. How can one cope with loss on this scale?</p>\n\n<p>With the support of the Gaza-based human rights group Al Mezan, I met more than 50 families profoundly affected by Israel’s deadly attacks. I have never been exposed to such pain. Months after the end of the attacks, many Palestinians I met were still traumatized and in deep grief. Many also expressed their doubt of any prospect for justice for the crimes committed against their loved ones.</p>\n\n<p>Some broke down and cried during our interview, others expressed their anger or were still in shock and unable to comprehend what had happened to them.</p>\n\n<p>When I visited the homes of these mourning families, the memory of their lost kin was always present, though in varying ways. In some homes, their photos were displayed atop TV sets or on the walls. Sometimes, the victims’ clothes and belongings were as they left them, months after their death, as if they would soon return. In other homes, family members constantly looked at photos and videos of their loved ones on their mobile phones.</p>\n\n<p>This collection of photographs contributes to the effort to remember Gaza’s victims, and to promote the calls for justice of the survivors.</p>\n\n<p><em>Anne Paq is a French freelance photographer and member of the photography collective <a href=\"http://activestills.org\">ActiveStills</a>.</em></p>\n\n<figure id=\"file-31454--6\" class=\"media media-element-container media-figure_wide file file-image file-image-jpeg\"><picture><!--[if IE 9]><video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source srcset=\"https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_1800w/public/2015-07/02_abu_rgila_khuzaa.jpg?itok=7gwjdxLg&timestamp=1448949295 1.5x, https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_1200w/public/2015-07/02_abu_rgila_khuzaa.jpg?itok=_meX7CYo&timestamp=1448949295 1x, https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_2400w/public/2015-07/02_abu_rgila_khuzaa.jpg?itok=Pxkzr4YQ&timestamp=1448949295 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 72rem)\"></source><!--[if IE 9]></video><![endif]--><img src=\"https://electronicintifada.net/sites/default/files/styles/original_800w/public/2015-07/02_abu_rgila_khuzaa.jpg?itok=clIzIsCh&amp%3Btimestamp=1448949295\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" /></picture><figcaption class=\"group-caption field-group-html-element\"><p>A poster honors the memory of Abbas Helmi Abu Rijeila, 20, seen in the street of Khuzaa, southern Gaza, on 16 November 2014.

A shoe belonging to Hala Bassam Madi, 3, lies in the ruins of her home in Rafah, southern Gaza, on 19 November 2014. The girl died in an Israeli air strike on 1 August 2014 that also killed her father Bassam, her mother Eman and her 2-year-old sister Jana. Her 3-year-old cousin Yousef was also killed, and a great-uncle later died of his wounds. Today, many of the ruins of destroyed homes have not been cleared and personal belongings remain scattered in the ruins.Documenting Israel’s military assault on Gaza last summer, I witnessed what can only be called atrocities: hospitals and morgues, overwhelmed by the constant flow of casualties; nights of terror under widespread and indiscriminate bombing; attacks on hospitals, ambulances and United Nations schools used as shelters; entire neighborhoods destroyed.

Of all the horrifying statistics, one is particularly shocking: 142 families lost three members or more in single Israeli strikes. I started the project #ObliteratedFamilies — now available for download and exhibitioning all over the world — to document such loss. It began as a project about the victims, but soon became also a project about the survivors. How can one cope with loss on this scale?

With the support of the Gaza-based human rights group Al Mezan, I met more than 50 families profoundly affected by Israel’s deadly attacks. I have never been exposed to such pain. Months after the end of the attacks, many Palestinians I met were still traumatized and in deep grief. Many also expressed their doubt of any prospect for justice for the crimes committed against their loved ones.

Some broke down and cried during our interview, others expressed their anger or were still in shock and unable to comprehend what had happened to them.

When I visited the homes of these mourning families, the memory of their lost kin was always present, though in varying ways. In some homes, their photos were displayed atop TV sets or on the walls. Sometimes, the victims’ clothes and belongings were as they left them, months after their death, as if they would soon return. In other homes, family members constantly looked at photos and videos of their loved ones on their mobile phones.

This collection of photographs contributes to the effort to remember Gaza’s victims, and to promote the calls for justice of the survivors.
