Community development feature from Palestine

IN MEMORY OF PEACEMAKER JULIANO MER KHAMIS

Juliano Mer Khamis (pictured) was an Israeli actor and peace activist who ran a drama project in a Palestinian refugee camp in Jenin, the West Bank. He was assassinated on Monday outside the theatre he founded which had brought Israelis and Palestinians together.
One year ago, Changing Ireland Community Media Ltd's chairperson, Gearoid Fitzgibbon, then a reporter for our magazine project, worked in Palestine as a volunteer.
In memory of the late Juliano Mer Khamis, we republish Gearoid's article which focused on a camera project involving Israeli and Palestinian youths. 
The article is also available online in PDF format at: http://www.changingireland.ie/Issue32.pdf

If you think of Israel/Palestine, your first image may not be of a Community Centre in the heart of the occupation, jointly funded and run by a group of Israelis and Palestinians.
