I took this picture in Gaza in August 2002. That was my first and only visit. The rubble is a former apartment building, which was destroyed by Israel via air because they suspected a Hamas member was hiding there. None of the occupants were evacuated from the building before it was destroyed. Gaza is an open air prison, and as I type this, its citizens are under constant air strikes from Israel.What’s most frustrating is that media coverage and responses from world leaders (mostly West) continue to be one sided: always putting Israel first and Palestine second. The word “disproportionate” in regards to many things is completely non-existent.
