more current events in the 'only democracy in the mid east' and it isn't complimentary towards the joos;

The last time Arwa Mousa saw her 17-year-old son alive was Thursday morning, just before he rushed out of their house in the Jenin refugee camp.

At 7am on the 26 January, Abdullah Mousa heard gunshots ringing through the camp. He leapt out of bed, rushing out the front door to “defend” the camp from what would become the deadliest Israeli army raid to take place in the West Bank in years.

But Abdullah never came home. His mother has not slept since he was killed. “I just stay up all night praying for him. All I can do is pray,” Arwa told Middle East Eye.

'He's watched his friends die. He grew up in this camp, seeing violent attacks on Palestinians every day. It took over his life'

After Israeli armed forces shot her son, she said, he was left bleeding on the floor for an hour and a half, as the soldiers blocked off all entrances and entrances to the camp, preventing medics from treating the wounded. 

“It should have only taken two minutes to get him to the hospital,” she said. "Every day there are martyrs on top of martyrs. They don't show mercy to anything. Not to the elderly, the young, the trees, the houses, nothing," she continued.

Between prayers for her son, Arwa said that Abdullah always knew he would end up a “martyr”, and that growing up surrounded by so much pain and death inflicted by Israel's occupation had “consumed him”.

"He's watched his friends die. He grew up in this camp, seeing violent attacks on Palestinians every day. It took over his life. He didn't want to study or work. He didn't want to have a house and get married," she said. “He just cared about resisting.”.......more........
