The Killing Zone
Palestinian civilians lived under threat of attack by the Israeli army, which did not discriminate against militants and children. Israeli settlers live in fear of suicide bombings. But not only Palestinians and Israelis are dying. Three Westerners have been attacked by Israeli forces since the Gulf War.
An American peace activist was crushed to death by an IDF bulldozer; a British peaceful protester was shot in the head by an IDF sniper and is now in a coma; and a British photographer was shot and killed by the IDF over the weekend. Sandra and Rodrigo were shot and tear gassed within hours of arrival by Israeli troops, who disrupted a memorial service for U.S. peace activist Rachel Corey, who was crushed to death by Israeli army bulldozers two days earlier. Corrie’s memorial service.
It set the tone for five weeks of work documenting the shooting of British peace activist Tom Handel by Israeli forces and the death of award-winning photographer James Miller, who worked extensively for Channel 4, in an interview with Killed While Israel filmed the army bulldozing Palestinian homes and the death and maiming of many innocent Palestinians and Israelis.
