An Israeli actor, director and activist was killed at point blank. One single reason didn't surface. In fact, reasons popped up. Juliano Mer-Khamis was more popular as a cinema personality than any other role he performed in his life. The assassination took place in Palestinian city of Jenin, where masked assailants opened fire on him.
Palestinian police claimed that Mujahid Quamiri is the murderer. According to sources, he is said to be related to an organization close to Hamas. In defense, Hamas claimed that the incident should be treated on as a criminal incident and not as a political murder. However, there are many reasons why it may be a political murder; more than anything else.
Mer was vocal about Israel-Arab conflicts and through his movies he tried to show the inhuman side of this unnecessary fight. He also opened a community theatre names 'Freedom Theatre' and involved people of this part of world to show reality to the rest of the world. By his works like Arna's Children, to some extent he was able to make the point visible. His last movie was Miral, a movie of a girl and her struggle. The movie raked few wounds.
There have been efforts to curb creative voices in different countries in different times but can they really do that? People can kill voices like Mer-Khamis but they can't kill the spirit.

Now a day, most of the people are doing criminal things without fear. For somebody this is the main job. All are doing criminal things for money. Thanks for sharing this news.
