Earlier today, a masked Palestinian militant shot and killed Juliano Mer-Khamis in the Jenin refugee camp. The militant had been waiting for the actor/director/producer/activist outside the Freedom Theater that he had co-founded in Jenin back in 2006.
Several weeks ago, Juliano stopped by Search For Common Ground's Jerusalem office during one of the afternoon's that I was there. He described his current theatrical work with Palestinians in Jenin, and then we discussed the possibilities of our collaborating on current projects.
Although we only met with Juliano for a few minutes, it was evident that he was a very generous, humorous and personable individual---and one whose life's work will be sorely missed.
