Sujoud’s story is unique in its details, but many Palestinian child survivors in West Bank mega concentration camp for indigenous Gentiles have had similar haunting experiences with Israeli settlers, soldiers, or another form of the inescapable presence of the occupation.
By Galia Oz: Sujoud is 12, and she tells the camera, matter-of-factly, about a man who approached her and her friends in a threatening manner as they walked to school in the adjacent village of A-Tuwani, in the West Bank South Hebron Hills. When she was 6, she suffered head injuries when she was assaulted by masked men. When asked if she still thinks about what happened then, she replies: Sometimes. Not always.
