About
Oct 5th, 2006 by kawther.salam
After I was forced by the Israeli occupation forces to leave my home Hebron in Palestine, I fled to Vienna, Austria, where I currently live as a refugee. Prior to my exile I had a career of over 20 years working as a journalist for various newspapers and TV stations in Palestine. Among others engagements, I worked for Al-Quds and Al-Hayat Al-Jadida newspapers and Al-Majd TV, destroyed by the IDF after I went into exile. My work language was Arabic.
I also made several documentary films related to the situation in Hebron while I lived there: Hebron City without Mercy, Detained and Borders. These projects were made in coordination with Israelis because of technical reasons. Short pieces from Detained and Hebron City without Mercy are posted in different articles on my site.
I started my online diary at the website of Gush Shalom in October of 2001, while still living in Palestine. In the mean time it has grown to far more than a personal diary, and many of my articles of the past years have had a readership far greater than during my times working for the established media in Palestine and Israel. I hope that changing the format of my site to a weblog will bring me increased readership, and hopefully raise the awareness about the criminality of Israel’s actions against my people.
