| At his home in Haifa during an interview |
Many of the photographers and journalists working here came across Juliano during the last years, mainly because he was always there, I was one of them. We’ve meet as I was covering the conflict, in demos, in the camp, he was always in the first line. He believed in the project he was running in the camp, he was a man of facts on the ground, doing things, not only talking about it.
Always provocative, pushing the boundaries, an example of real need for coexistence, not the one in the comfortable rooms of Universities, cafes, or homes in Israel, but in the tough difficulties of Jenin camp. He was against the Occupation with all his heart, body and soul.
Once, in his home in Haifa during an interview he explained to us how he sees himself as Palestinian and Israeli, completely natural, as a hole.
He was a brave man, because he went till the end with his truth, and found his dead in the camp close to the “Freedom Theater”, his project.
A great lost, of the person, and the idea. Shocking and outrageous.
