THEY TOOK EVERYTHING ALSO OUR DIGNITY

They took everything also, our dignity describes the life of a Palestinian boy, Mohammed, who lives in a refugee camp in Lebanon. The text explores his daily life, his relationships and his experiences. The boy finds himself having to face the reality of war and daily violence but tries to maintain a normal life by going to school and playing with friends. However, his growth leads him to better understand the situation in which he lives and to seek answers to the questions that arise. On one hand, the text highlights the difficulty of understanding the reality of war and violence for a child, but also his ability to grow and face the situation with courage also thinking about his future. On the other hand, it explores the difficulties Palestinian refugees face in finding work and receiving an adequate education. Furthermore, it addresses the issue of propaganda and media control by the Israelis and the International Communitys responsibility and failure to mediate in the conflict.
