When Israeli soldiers shot Karam Qawasmi in the back and laughed as they
did so in May 2018, he stayed silent about his story for over a year,
saying he had no evidence to prove the crimes committed against him. But
when the video of the officers shooting him for entertainment was
leaked to the media earlier this month, Qawasmi said he finally had the
proof, and the strength he needed to come forward and tell his story.
Now, Qawasmi recounts the terrifying day last year when his search for a
job near a checkpoint quickly turned into a struggle for his life.
