Gazan poet, journalist and peace activist Ahmed Abu Artema describes how he lost five members of his family, including his 12-year-old son, in an Israeli airstrike on his house on October 24. Abu Artema was seriously injured and sent _Democracy Now!_ an audio message from his hospital bed. "Israel didn't bombard my house, didn't kill my child by mistake. It's the Israeli strategy," he says. "Israel's problem is Palestinian existence itself."
