If someone asked you “What are your hopes for the future?,” I - TopicsExpress



          

If someone asked you “What are your hopes for the future?,” I bet you would offer a fairly standard list, ranging from the practical to the lofty. But when I put that question to Yousef Abdelraheem Nateel, a 26-year-old Palestinian living in the Al-Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza, his response wasn’t very standard at all: “To survive the coming bombing raid.” Nateel is one of five young Palestinians living in Gaza that I interviewed via email over the past few days. These five, who range from 16 to 26 years old, have no connection to Hamas and, for the most part, are not involved in politics. They’re like so many of the other 1.8 million Palestinians crammed into the densely populated Gaza Strip and who now find themselves caught in the cross fire of another battle between Hamas and the Israeli military. thedailybeast/articles/2014/07/17/five-young-palestinians-on-what-it-s-like-to-live-and-die-in-gaza.html
