Terrible Truths

Gaza City, 1994 | "Palestinian children play a game they call Arabs & Jews," Robert Semeniuk says. "They mimic what they saw every day in the intifada," the uprising of Palestinians against Israeli rule. "Doctors at the Gaza Community Mental Health Program call this post-traumatic play. It is about children repeating the trauma, unexplainable events, over and over, in an attempt to understand what is not understandable to children."
