Kudos to #JohnOliver for covering the violence in the West Bank. Israeli settlers and the army enjoy over 99% of impunity over their crimes agst Palestinians in the territory that Israel unlawfully occupies. Instead, Palestinians in the #oPt live under draconian military orders & courts. "No justice for the Palestinians under Israeli rule" is the harsh reality, not a slogan. That's #Apartheid
John Oliver on West Bank: There’s 2 sets of law, Jewish settlers enjoy civilian law, due process, civil rights. Palestinians live under Israeli military law…when it comes to attacks by settlers on Palestinians, there’s a history of abetment by Israeli officials That’s apartheid

Some state officials would not admit that Israel is committing genocide even if the Gvt of Israel sent them a Note Verbale with their genocidal intent explicited black on white. Wake up: Palestinians have been killed, maimed, abused, displaced, oppressed since even before the establishment of the State of Israel. As students' protests continue, I encourage them to use the encampments as a space for continuing self-education through relevant movies, talks, documentaries, books. If I were with them today, I would read with them #FrantzFanon (The Wretched of the Earth).
Francesca, did you wish happy Independence Day to Israel? xitter.cf/PrimeNewsDigest/status…

Palestinian children arbitrarily arrested & detained by the Israeli army are often coerced into becoming collaborators/informants, as I outlined in my second report on "deprivation of liberty." To understand the treatment of Palestinian children under Israeli occupation even before October 7, refer to my third report, presented shortly after October 7 & unfortunately overlooked by many: un.org/unispal/document/chil… Now, the situation is considerably worse. And risks to grow even worse if we do not use our power to stop it. #Unchilding
WTF! Israeli military has reached an unprecedented level of disgust. Israel military uploaded today a list of citizens including minors claiming to be Hamas informants! These are among the children published by the military with their personal details revealed! (1/2)
