Over the past 14 months, I have watched in horror as
fellow Palestinians in Gaza have been subjected to Israel’s relentless
bombardment — targeting refugee camps, residential neighborhoods, schools,
hospitals, universities and bakeries — and forced to live the nightmare of
homelessness in leaky tents without food, water or medical care. I have
listened to friends and family in the West Bank and East Jerusalem talk about
their despair and describe the daily terror they are subjected to at the hands
of the Israeli military and armed settlers, whose aim is to get them to leave
their homes and land.
