The murder of Juliano Mer-Khamis has been met with shock and disbelief by all who knew him and his work. The son of a Jewish mother and a Palestinian father, Juliano is best known for his work with the children of Jenin refugee camp and for his cultural resistance activism, particularly with the Freedom Theatre he co-founded.
