When
a loved one is hurt we feel their pain. Same is true when a loved one
is humiliated, we feel that humiliation with him. So is the case with
Mohammed Omer, a young man that is truly loved by all that know him. We
feel his pain and humiliation... and a shame that members of our own
human species are capable of doing what was done to him.
Mohammed
is a very special young man. He was forced to start working at the age
of six to help support his family living in the Rafah Refugee Camp in
the Gaza Strip. His father was languishing at the time in an Israel
jail. One day on his way home from school he found an Israeli bulldozer
standing in the spot where his home stood that morning. The home was on
the Rafah/Egyptian border and was 'in the way' of the wall being built
to separate the two. Not long after that his younger brother was shot
dead by Israeli troops, another brother lost a leg. In 'retaliation',
Mohammed decided at the age of 17 to 'arm' himself with a camera and a
pen and become a photojournalist. He felt that if the truth about the
situation in Gaza was known to the world, something would be done about
it. More about Mohammed can be read in THIS interview.
Best to hear the details from Mohammed himself... in the following short video.
Tribute To Mohammed by Carlos Latuff In May, Mohammed was notified that he was this year's recipient of the Martha Gelhorn Prize for Journalism. You can read in his own words the pride and joy of receiving such a great honour HERE. In the end, he was able to go to personally accept the reward. I wrote about that, also with great pride. But, the return home to Gaza turned into a nightmare unimaginable to my readers. I wrote about it yesterday. I was unable to speak to him yesterday as his phone line had been tampered with and it was impossible to get hold of him. CNN also apparently tried to reach him for an interview and were unable to. I did speak to him a short while ago. He was sent home from the hospital yesterday but returned last night with severe chest pains, as a result of the beating he received. He is in good spirits despite the ordeal he experienced. The zionists will stop at no length to silence the voice of the voiceless. The truth is the biggest enemy of theirs. Murder, beatings, incarcerations, there is no end to their attempts. But the truth will get out and you can help that happen... You can contact the Israeli government offices in your areas and demand an investigation of these incidents... all contact info can be found HERE. You can also contact the Israeli Foreign Ministry and DEMAND an investigation. Contact information: Foreign Minister's office This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
