Lost Blood
by Marco Abraham |
This book contains explicit accounts of the atrocities committed
against the refugees of Sabra and Shatila camps by the only
eyewitness to have survived and written a book about the horrors.
Marco Abraham was 18 years old when he lived through the
massacre. He realized he was witnessing a horrific chapter
in the history of the Middle East, and vowed to tell his story.
Shortly after leaving Shatila camp following the massacre,
he wrote down his entire experience so as not to forget any
of the details.
Amid massive Israeli civilian protests
over the possibility of their country’s involvement
in the Sabra and Shatila massacre, the Israeli government
created the Kahan Commission to investigate. The Kahan Commission
concluded that, “the Minister of Defense (Ariel Sharon)
bears personal responsibility.” The transcripts of this
investigation have never been released. It is hoped that the
Israeli government will release these files this September,
the 25th anniversary of the massacre. The release of these
transcripts will be anticipated by millions of people worldwide.
Marco Abraham, born in the Palestine refugee camp of Shatila,
was raised to hate and fear Americans as his country's "number
one enemy," followed by Israel. Several years following
his survival of the massacre, he was required to come to the
United States on a job related assignment. He came with trepidation
and fear of what Americans would do to him. What he saw when
he arrived was that Americans were not evil, they were not
trying to kill him, they in fact lived blessed lives of freedom
and safety—working and caring for their families, having
food and homes and enjoying their lives without living in
fear. He was raised, as many middle eastern people, with a
lie—an unrealistic and profound hatred and fear of Americans.
He is extremely proud to now be an American citizen and
is determined to share his story and show that this country
and it's values are indeed "heaven" and more importantly,
to attempt to make us all understand the peace is not only
desired and hoped for but a desperate necessity. In his words,
"We are all brothers. We are all capable of making decisions
and please let those decisions guide our world to peace."
Marco Abraham—as one who has survived starvation—is
donating 100% of the proceeds of this book to feed starving
children in Africa.
This book will haunt you. It will change the way you view
your world.
