Such an enlightening, harrowing, behind the scenes true story told by “Omar,” a young Palestinian husband, father, son and brother, actively living through the Israeli – Hamas/Palestinian conflict. This is an eye opening, gut wrenching, heartbreaking, life changing story for me. I don’t think I can do his story justice, as he is still fighting to keep his family alive, fighting to keep himself alive, fighting to make sure he and his fellow brethren are remembered and not forgotten… they are not numbers, not just statistics, not some abstract ideology, they are real, flesh and blood humans, just like you and I, who are not terrorists, but because of their unfortunate life circumstance, they happened to have been born in a country that has been taken over by a terrorist organization. His plight is perilous, impossible, and some would say, absolutely hopeless, but Omar is not without hope, nor faith. He keeps a written record of what is happening around him, the people, their story, their plight… in notebooks, on pieces of cardboard, scraps of paper, whatever is handy, and holds onto the drawings, mementos… anything that is given to him by those that also wish to be remembered. This is a thought provoking, completely life changing story, so glad I read it… it has changed my world views in ways I would never have believed possible.
