La <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>franja de Gaza es el hogar de cientos de h<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>roes sin proclamar. Son artistas resistiendo la ocupaci\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span>n israel\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>con sus pinceles, poetas usando sus palabras recreando un futuro diferente para su gente, y profesores armando a sus estudiantes con el conocimiento que necesitar<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>n para sostener una econom<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00eda \u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/span>si se les permite hacer negocio.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Ellos son pescadores que navegan el m<\/span><\/span><\/span>ar Mediterr<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>neo cada ma\u00f1ana, buscando ganarse la vida a pesar del siempre presente riesgo de que sus barcos sean confiscados y sus vidas sean robadas por las balas israel<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>es.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tras casi tres d<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>as intentando a contactar con <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>l, finalmente conoc<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed a Zaky Taroosh. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Estaba acompa\u00f1ado por su hijo m<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>s joven, Abdul Latif, que hab<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a seguido las huellas de su padre converti\u00e9ndose en un pescador. Aunque en principio s\u00f3lo los vi en la distancia <\/span><\/span><\/span>sent<\/span><\/span><\/span>ados en una scooter resoplando humo negro y gimiendo<\/span><\/span><\/span> ru<\/span><\/span><\/span>idosamente cerca del Banco de Palestina en el barrio de Al-Remal de la ciudad de Gaza, yo ya hab<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a empezado a sentir el dolor que hab<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>an soportado.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Me apresur<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>a <\/span><\/span><\/span>apretar sus <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1speras<\/span><\/span><\/span> manos. Zaky <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>estrech\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span> la m<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a efus<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>ivamente y me ofreci\u00f3 una gran sonrisa. Abdul Latif estaba en silencio por razones que no pude determinar en un principio.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Los dos sudaban mucho en el calor de la tarde, as<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>que nos sentamos en un banco roto en la plaza de Al-Jondi, donde suelen pasar su tiempo la mayor<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a de los j\u00f3venes de Gaza aburridos y desempleados. Los tres nos sentamos en el asiento bajo la sombra de un viejo <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>rbol muy alto, que nos ayud\u00f3 a relajarnos. Sorbimos una taza de caf<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>sin endulzar comprado a un vendedor ambulante.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Zaky<\/span><\/span><\/span> tiene ocho hijos, cuatro de los cuales son varones y pescadores. Sorbiendo del caf<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>con su mano derecha y quit<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>ndose el sudor con la izquierda, empez\u00f3 a contar la historia de Abdul Latif.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Hace un a\u00f1<\/span><\/span><\/span>o,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> Abdul Latif estaba pescando cerca de Al-Waha, una regi\u00f3n cerca de la orilla norte de Gaza, y cogi\u00f3 una tremenda cantidad de pescado. Estaba tan feliz que no se dio cuenta de que estaba cruzando la l<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>nea fronteriza entre Israel y Gaza<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aguant<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>mi respiraci\u00f3n, anticipando lo que vendr<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a luego.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Tan pronto como mi hijo vio el buque israel<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>acerc<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>ndose como una tormenta, empez\u00f3 <\/span><\/span><\/span>a <\/span><\/span><\/span>remar en su peque\u00f1<\/span><\/span><\/span>o barco<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>, contaba Zaky.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mir<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>a Abdul Latif, que estaba sudando como si lo que su padre describ<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a estuviera sucediendo frente a <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>l. Me gir<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>hacia Zaky, que tom\u00f3 una caja de cigarrillos Royal de su rasgado bolsillo derecho. Luego encendi\u00f3 uno con su viejo encendedor. Supe despu\u00e9s que hab<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a sido heredado de su padre, que fue asesinado en 1967 por las fuerzas de ocupaci\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span>n israel\u00ed. Zaky ten\u00eda s<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span>lo 3 a<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00f1os en el momento de su muerte.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>La armada israel<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>empez\u00f3 a disparar con ca\u00f1\u00f3n de agua a su peque\u00f1o barco, y lo hizo zozobrar <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/span>hiriendo a mi hijo [con un corte en la cabeza]<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>, resumi\u00f3 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Zaky.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Las fuerzas israel<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>es lo arrestaron y se apoderaron de su barco. Llevaron a Abdul Latif a un lugar desconocido en una ciudad ahora llamada Ashdod por Israel, donde recibi\u00f3 malos tratos<\/span><\/span><\/span> y fue<\/span><\/span><\/span> interrogado. Un d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a despu<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>s, fue enviado a casa <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/span>a trav\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>s del paso<\/span><\/span><\/span> israel\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>llamado Erez.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

En Gaza, el D<\/span><\/span><\/span>epartamento <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>I<\/span><\/span><\/span>nterno de <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Seguridad del Gobierno lo mantuvo bajo custodia alrededor de una semana para investigar lo que hab<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00eda <\/span><\/span><\/span>padecido y lo que pudo haber dicho. No es inusual que los oficiales de <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span>seguridad<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d israel\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>intenten reclutar palestinos como colaboradores.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A Abdu Latif finalmente se le permiti<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00f3 retornar a casa, pero su barco estaba todav<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a en Israel, hasta hoy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aproximadamente un a\u00f1o despu<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>s, Zaky y su familia perdieron un segundo barco de pesca cuando otro hijo, Zayed, fue a pescar con su amigo, Mahmoud Bakr.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Juntos, tuvieron un buen d<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a de pesca; los israel<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>es acababan de decidir esa semana incrementar la zona permitida (de seis millas) a nueve<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>, explic<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00f3 Zaky, tomando la <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00fa<\/span><\/span><\/span>ltima calada de su cigarrillo antes de tirarlo y pisarlo con su sandalia negra.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Quise que Abdul Latif se uniera a la conversaci\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span>n, as<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>que le pregunt\u00e9 cuando ocurri\u00f3 el incidente. Estaba dudando en hablar, pero al final me dijo que fue en abril de 2016.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Zaky continu<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span>: \u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span>La <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>A<\/span><\/span><\/span>rmada israel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed atac<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00f3 su barco y arrest\u00f3 a Zayed y Mahmoud. Robaron su barco y fueron metidos en prisi\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span>n durante tres meses.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mir<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>a Zaky con incredulidad.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Las autoridades israel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>es acusaron a los dos chicos de atacar a la armada en el mar<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>, continu<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span>. \u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span>Un juez israel<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>pidi\u00f3 alguna prueba, en forma de im<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>genes de v<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>deo de la c<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>mara instalada en el barco<\/span><\/span><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Cuando se present\u00f3 el material grabado, el juez no encontr\u00f3 nada que documentara las acusaciones contra ellos, as<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>que los dos chicos fueron finalmente liberados.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sin embargo, el barco de Zayed nunca fue devuelto<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Inst<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>a Zaki a comprar un nuevo barco para sustituir<\/span><\/span><\/span> al <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00fa<\/span><\/span><\/span>ltimo b<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>arco que quedaba de sus hijos. Sonri\u00f3 <\/span><\/span><\/span>amargamente, cont<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span><\/span>ndome que un peque\u00f1o barco cuesta sobre 30.000 shekels ($8.500).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Incluso si adquiero un barco de una organizaci\u00f3n humanitaria, ya no puedo trabajar m<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e1s\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span>, dijo categ\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span>ricamente.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Le pregunt<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>por qu<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, ya que <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>l era todav<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a joven y sus hijos podr<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>an ayudar. Permaneci\u00f3 en silencio cinco segundos, entonces me cont\u00f3 que <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>l mismo hab<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a sido herido por el E<\/span><\/span><\/span>j<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>rcito israel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>cuando su barco fue atacado, y que a<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00fa<\/span><\/span><\/span>n ten<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed<\/span><\/span><\/span>a fragmentos de bala alojados dentro de su cuerpo.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span>Los fragmentos causan mucho dolor cuando hace fr\u00edo<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d, \u2013 gimi<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00f3<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Me di cuenta entonces lo que significa ser un pescador palestino viviendo en la franja de Gaza, pasando noches y madrugadas siendo perseguido por la A<\/span><\/span><\/span>rmada israel<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>y las tardes cosiendo sus redes hechas jirones.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Decid<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00ed <\/span><\/span><\/span>intentar <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>por \u00faltima vez persuadir <\/span><\/span><\/span>a Abdul Latif <\/span><\/span><\/span>para hablar. Enseguida supe que hab\u00eda<\/span><\/span><\/span> estado comprometido <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>durante<\/span><\/span><\/span> a<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00f1o y medio pero no pod\u00eda casarse por falta de dinero. La familia entera <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Zaky y su mujer, su hija soltera, sus cuatro hijos y tres nueras- viven juntos en un piso que apenas es apropiado para animales. Los cortes diarios de electricidad parecen ser un presagio de un futuro desconocido poco prometedor.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
