The call to Mahmoud Shaheen came at dawn.

It was Thursday 19 October at about 06:30, and Israel had been bombing Gaza for 12 days straight.

He’d been in his third-floor, three-bedroom flat in al-Zahra, a middle-class area in the north of the Gaza Strip. Until now, it had been largely untouched by air strikes.

He’d heard a rising clamour outside. People were screaming. “You need to escape,” somebody in the street shouted, “because they will bomb the towers”.

    EDIT: to be fair, I don’t have the numbers to claim who is a minority or not.

    Because you’ve never bothered to look up a damn thing that might change your mind.

      No need to get personal. I was empathizing with a person who is getting harassed for his opinions. Kinda like what you’re doing right now.
