From Mondoweiss
Eight months after the firebombing that killed five-year-old Ahmad
Dawabshe’s baby brother and parents in the occupied West Bank village of
Duma, he is still undergoing treatment in the Sheba Medical Center in
Ramat Gan.
Ahmad is energetic and enthralled with car-racing
video games, like any child his age. “People see that he’s coming and
going and playing and laughing. But his health situation now – he has
serious injuries and will need a long time to heal,” his maternal
grandfather and caretaker Hussein Dawabshe tells Mondoweiss's Dan Cohen.
Ahmad
and his grandfather rarely leave the hospital. In front of a Ramat Gan
supermarket last month, Dawabshe tells Cohen, Israeli children
recognized Ahmad and threw metal cans at them before he chased them
away. “There are good Israelis, but there are also bad ones. Sometimes
it’s not easy to tell which is which,” he said.
