On 7 July 2014, in an apparent response to the murder of three
teenagers, Israel launched a major offensive against the Gaza
Strip, lasting 51 days, killing 2145 Palestinians (578 of them
children), injuring over 11,000, and demolishing 17,200 homes. The
usual news machine rolled up, and the same distressing images and
entrenched political rhetoric were broadcast, yet almost nothing
was reported of the on-going lives of ordinary Gazans - the real
victims of the war. One of the few voices to make it out was that
of Atef Abu Saif, a writer and teacher from Jabalia Refugee Camp,
whose eye-witness accounts (published in The Guardian, The New York
Times, and elsewhere) offered a rare window into the conflict for
Western readers. Here, Atef's complete diaries of the war allow us
to witness the full extent of last summer's atrocities from the
most humble of perspectives: that of a young father, fearing for
his family's safety, trying to stay sane in an insanely one-sided
war.
