In a three week period ending July 4, eight Palestinians were killed in the West Bank. In Gaza, seven-year-old Ali Abdel-Latif al-Awoor was killed by one of the first air raids (the raids and arrests have continued, resulting in the deaths of seven more Palestinians, who Hamas claimed as among its ranks). In the West Bank was 20-year-old Ahmad Sabareen, shot in the chest near his home in Jalazon refugee champ. Next were Mahmoud Jihad Muhammed, killed in the village of Dura near Hebron, and Mustafa Hosni Aslan, who died from injuries sustained from a clash involving live fire near Qalandia refugee camp. Ahmad Fawami was shot with four rounds of live ammunition near Nablus and Mahmoud Ismail Atalla Tarifi was found with a bullet in his chest in Ramallah. Most recently were, of course, Yousef Abu Zagha, and Muhammed Hussein Abu Khdeir. I dont want to call them ‘10’ or ‘11, Odeh says of the innocent Palestinians who have been killed. I want to call them by their names. Because each one is a story of a struggle, a story of resistance, a story of trying to make change. And those are not terrorists.
