That is a disturbing image. Reality is often difficult to look at. You've created an emotional image Wissam.

To all who think this is sad. Yes it is a sad thing that children have no future to look forward to. It is sad that across the border within a stone throw they see people living in the homes where from their parents and grandparents were kicked out. It is sad that they have been denied their very own existence for decades while the whole world turned a blind eye to their suffering and miserable existence. Yes it is very sad.

Yes, it IS sad. All of it. NOBODY should be removed from their homes. There are a lot of 'blind eyes' around. But for God, Allah, Buddha, and L. Ron Hubbard's sake, put the fucking guns down.

Marhaba Habibi! Kefak? I'm a bit confused mate... this shot in this theme seems to re-enforce the common stereotype of those living in Palestinian camps... I know that this is a reality in the camps but it is also just one aspect of life not truly depicting the whole truth... good shot - just don't think it's appropriate.

hala habibi ahlan Michel. On the contrary if you look at it from a different perspective. the photo breaks the stereotype of happy children playing with barbies and sofisticated trucks and gadgets. the children in the palastinian camps break this stereotype as we all did when we were their age. the only toys we found around top play with were empty bullets and the remains of bombs.
In this photo i am breaking the stereoptype of the children in general and not emphasizing the other stereotyope of the children in th camps.. -

Wow... I have a six year old girl and it's hard to accept that this is real and it happens, you have an eye for composition and you give meaning to your pictures. Very nice work...
