Early life and background
His father came from the village of Bayt Daras, just south of Jaffa. In 1948, when his father was 9 years old, the Baroud family was driven out and finished up as refugees in the Gaza Strip His father became an autodidact with a particular passion for Russian literature enthusiast.
He was born and raised in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, where from the age of 6, he attended an UNWRA Elementary School for Boys . The school was separated from Bureiji refugee camp by an Israeli military encampment, whose soldiers frequently handcuffed and detained students for displaying pictures of the Palestinian flag.One of his UNWRA schoolmates, Raed Muanis, was shot dead by Israeli soldiers when they sighted him running with one such small flag.
Notes
- Baroud challenges as a myth the common perception that Israeli politics has a separate pro-peace leftist party and rightwing hostile to compromise. Most of the abuses of the occupation were instituted by Israeli Labor Party. He notes that the offert in the Oslo Accords of the right of Palestinians to have a flag and national anthem was just a ‘symbolic achievement’.
