Brother of Gaza Man Killed by Israeli Sniper Speaks

Raddad Hamad was collecting scrap with his brother Odeh when Odeh was fatally shot by Israeli soldiers on December 20, 2013. The brothers, according to Raddad, were a kilometer away from Gaza's Israeli-sealed border, which is the scene of frequent Israeli attacks on Palestinian farmers whose land has been confiscated or destroyed by so-called Israeli "buffer zones." According to Harvard researcher Sara Roy, these buffer zones "now absorb nearly 14 percent of Gaza's total land and at least 48 percent of total arable land." For Raddad, who in this video describes his desperate attempts to rescue his brother, nowhere is safe from Israel's lethal siege of Gaza and its more than 1.7 million Palestinians.
