The Lost Lives of Gaza
Everybody thinks they know what life in Gaza is like: A relentless round of deprivation, violence and suffering. While in no way diminishing the harshness and injustice of life in what is effectively an open prison, subject to regular brutal assaults by the Israeli military, Mohammed Omer, born and raised in Rafah, south Gaza, here presents a more nuanced picture: What the news reports don't show are the ways the inhabitants of the Strip still find ways to rise above the hardship, managing to find simple joys of human existence away from the bombs and barbed-wire fences. In these pages Omer takes the reader on a tour of this most misunderstood and hidden territory, experiencing the community spirit, the enduring family ties, the taste and aroma of the cuisine, and the thriving art and design scene, all in a coastal enclave barely larger than Manhattan.
Shell Shocked
Operation Protective Edge, launched in early July 2014, was the third major Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip in six years. It was also the most deadly. By the conclusion of hostilities some seven weeks later, 2,200 of Gaza’s population had been killed, and more than 10,000 injured. In these pages, journalist Mohammed Omer, a resident of Gaza who lived through the terror of those days with his wife and then three-month-old son, provides a first-hand account of life on-the-ground during Israel’s assault. The images he records in this extraordinary chronicle are a literary equivalent of Goya’s “Disasters of War”: children’s corpses stuffed into vegetable refrigerators, pointlessly ...
The Oslo Accords 1993–2013
Twenty years have passed since Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization concluded the Oslo Accords, or Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements for Palestine. It was declared “a political breakthrough of immense importance.” Israel officially accepted the PLO as the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, and the PLO recognized the right of Israel to exist. Critical views were voiced at the time about how the self-government established under the leadership of Yasser Arafat created a Palestinian-administered Israeli occupation, rather than paving the way towards an independent Palestinian state with substantial economic funding from the international community. Through a number of essays written by renowned scholars and practitioners, the two decades since the Oslo Accords are scrutinized from a wide range of perspectives. Did the agreement have a reasonable chance of success? What went wrong, causing the treaty to derail and delay a real, workable solution? What are the recommendations today to show a way forward for the Israelis and the Palestinians?

The Oslo Accords
More than 20 years have passed since Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organisation concluded the Oslo Accords, or Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements for Palestine. It was declared a political breakthrough of immense importance.

Em estado de choque
Em Estado de Choque – Sobrevivendo em Gaza sob Ataque Israelense traz as crônicas do jovem jornalista palestino Mohammed Omer, testemunha ocular das atrocidades cometidas na Operação Margem Protetora, ofensiva israelense que devastou a Faixa de Gaza, deixando ao final de sete semanas de hostilidade 2.200 palestinos mortos — com uma taxa histórica de 77% mortes entre civis e 536 crianças assassinadas.

Nas páginas do livro, Omer narra o terr...
