00:00We try to protect ourselves. We try to shoot them with the biggest bullets possible.
00:09So that they learn, here in the camp, how to defend themselves from above.
00:21I would like to get married, have children, start a family and settle down.
00:26And live my life as I see everyone else living their lives.
00:32My dream is to liberate the country.
00:35To live in peace and security.
00:37And for our children to enjoy freedom.
00:50This is the main entrance to the camp.
00:53There are about 15 entrances, or more, that are closed like this.
01:01I am currently looking at the barriers.
01:04I am making sure that the barriers are closed.
01:07In case of an invasion from the Israeli army.
01:14When they come in, there is no difference between one and the other.
01:18I kill whoever comes in front of me.
01:20We are here to protect the citizens of Jenin Camp.
01:24And our families in Jenin Camp.
01:26At the expense of our lives.
01:29I am a young man, like any other young man.
01:32I am a young man with a gun.
01:34Even in my own house, I have lost my sense of security.
01:37When I leave my house, my family, my father, my mother.
01:41It is not normal. I want to resist.
01:43I want to die, but I don't want to see this sight.
01:50We were brought up in Jenin Camp.
01:52Our children were brought up in Jenin Camp.
01:58When we first woke up, we woke up to the battle of Jenin Camp.
02:02Which took place in April 2002.
02:05It was a battle in which 57 young men were martyred.
02:14There were areas of the camp that were completely occupied.
02:17And we saw these scenes in front of us.
02:19Martyrs, prisoners, wounds, and houses being destroyed.
02:28I assure you, ladies and gentlemen.
02:30We are prepared for any attack.
02:33I expect that within a minute, they will attack us at any moment.
02:37We are ready for any clash, at any moment, at any time.
02:41God willing, at any time.
02:43Leave the two of you here.
02:45One of you, stand behind him.
02:50We are defending our homes, our families, our dignity, our dignity.
02:56Even here, in our homes, where we were sent to.
02:59Even here, in the camps.
03:01They come here to attack our camps, to attack our homes.
03:05Israel says it's increasing its operations because there are people like yourself
03:11who they claim are terrorists.
03:14They come here to attack our camps, to attack our homes.
03:17They want to kill us at any moment.
03:19This is a fierce enemy.
03:21It only understands the language of bullets.
03:23It doesn't understand the language of negotiations.
03:25Negotiations only lead to greater losses,
03:27whether from our land or from our people.
03:29Freedom is something that the whole world lives for.
03:32We don't know what freedom is.
03:34They come here to attack our camps, to attack our homes.
03:37Even in the middle of the city.
03:38We can't even breathe.
03:40We are surrounded inside the prison.
03:42We can't even see the sea.
03:44I don't have a choice.
03:46I can only carry my weapon and fight until I die.
03:50Because that's what they do to you in life.
03:57God is great.
04:02These are all the pictures you see.
04:05All of them were with us at the meeting.
04:09What happened next to us.
04:12Moments that separated us from what was inside of us.
04:17We come here every day.
04:19We come to the cemetery.
04:21If we don't come to visit him, we come to his grave.
04:24He was the son of the camp.
04:27He heard what happened.
04:29The occupation started.
04:31Houses were being destroyed.
04:33This makes the children's emotions explode.
04:37It stirs their emotions.
04:40When I was a child,
04:43I used to go to the cemetery.
04:45I used to go to the cemetery.
04:47I used to go to the cemetery.
04:49I used to go to the cemetery.
04:51I used to go to the cemetery.
04:53On the night of his martyrdom,
04:56he came at 1.30 pm.
04:59I was preparing his lunch.
05:01If I asked him to give me more food,
05:03he would come to me.
05:05He started dancing.
05:07He was happy dancing.
05:09Before he left, he would kiss my hand.
05:11He would kiss my hand.
05:13He said, you are my love.
05:14He said, you are my love.
05:16He said, you are my love.
05:20When they say he joined the army,
05:22he took his weapon.
05:25When he went to the cemetery,
05:27he didn't know there were snipers.
05:29They shot him in the leg.
05:31He sat on the ground.
05:33He couldn't get up.
05:35He started saying to the people of the house,
05:37open the door.
05:39They were scared.
05:41When I heard the shot,
05:42I thought to myself,
05:44God forbid.
05:46He was fun.
05:48He made the atmosphere at home.
05:50He was affectionate.
05:52Affectionate in the way...
06:00Mothers sacrifice a lot of things.
06:03When a mother loses a part of her child,
06:06she feels like an orphan.
06:09Because she lost her child.
06:11But he chose his path.
06:13He loved his path and chose it.
06:15This is where my son was martyred.
06:17Abul Aiman.
06:19May God have mercy on him.
06:21This is his blood.
06:26She is a mother.
06:28She doesn't want to lose her son.
06:30But I feel proud of him
06:32because he is a resister.
06:34He defends his land, his homeland.
06:36May God make your grave a paradise.
06:38In the name of God.
06:42All the fighters of Al-Azhar,
06:44all the fighters of Al-Ashawis,
06:46our army, the Palestinian army,
06:48is fighting for liberation.
06:50In the area of the camp,
06:52which is a square kilometer,
06:54we have a line of 350 martyrs.
06:56In every cell, there is a martyr.
06:58How can we not remember them
07:00when I walk to the place where my brother was martyred,
07:02the place where my cousin,
07:04my friend, and I were martyred?
07:06This is the least we can do.
07:08We have to hang their photos
07:10and remember them
07:12because we can increase our strength
07:14by seeing them increase our anger.
