Gaza; Punishing the Innocent is a collection of lino-cuts etched by Sam Kerson and originally printed by Katah at her Atelier du Livre in Quebec.
The images were created over the years, as historical incidents inspired the artist to create them. Sam Kerson was actively involved in the Six Day War as a sailor in the US Sixth Fleet, and since then has felt compelled to follow the latest developments in this ongoing series of violent encounters between the Palestinians and the Israelis.In this volume the images are accompanied by text from sources which describe the original incidents. For example, the Unite Nations investigated the 2008-2009 war and massacre in Gaza in depth; interviewing witnesses and collecting testimonies and evidence on site. All of the 2008-2009 incidents represented by images in this book are accompanied by a relevant paragraph from UN report A/HRC/12/48 is included with each image. Images from other events that seemed relevant, such as the Marvi Marmara incident in 2010, are also include.
During the recent and worst conflict we have concentrated on images of children, mothers, and people engaged in peaceful practices such as planting trees. We hope this book might be useful to those of you working for and calling for peace. Gaza Punishing the Innocent is a Dragon Dance Theatre production.
