WATCH Palestinian US student loses 2 brothers in Gaza



Palestinian US College Grad Loses 2 Brothers in Israeli Shooting; Father Watched Son Bleed to Death After Israeli Troops Blocked Ambulances

We return to the heart-wrenching tale of Amer Shurrab, who lost two of his brothers on the same day in an Israeli attack in Gaza. Amer is a Palestinian from Khan Yunis living in the United States. He recently graduated from Middlebury College. On Friday, his father and two brothers were fleeing their village when their vehicle came under Israeli fire. Twenty-eight-year-old Kassab died in a hail of bullets trying to flee the vehicle. Eighteen-year-old Ibrahim survived the initial attack, but Israeli troops refused to allow an ambulance to reach them until twenty hours later. [includes rush transcript]

He is very brave sharing this tragic and bitter story with us ... we are witnessing war crimes ... there is so much evidence of that ... Israel must come before an International Tribunal!

This is heartrending, the story of one of the victims of one of the tens of massacres which Zionism has perpetrated.

Thanks for inviting me to your blog. I hope you visit mine www.qunfuz.blogspot.com and read my novel The Road from Damascus.

Best wishes
