Refugee Stories from Conflict Zones

Most of the refugees here are women and children.

Some of the husbands are here too, but they're out of sight,

nursing feelings of

mixed desperation and hatred and not wanting to be filmed.

Virtually all of them bring stories of Israeli brutality, how they were

herded together at night, taken part of the way to the river,

made to walk with

their hands in the air for miles as Israeli troops hurried them along

with bursts of gunfire over their head.

Several of their villages were deliberately destroyed, they say,

so that they would

have to move. They do not believe that the Western world wants to

know that story, and they say that Israel is the fifty-first state of

the

United States and American imperialism is the cause of their

misery. This largest of the refugee camps has a

population of

seventy-five hundred, with more coming in every day.

The only thing growing here are seeds of revenge.
