The Israeli army are using aid centres as target practice.

The Israeli government is proposing building a 'refugee' centre in Rafah with an extra special feature - no one is allowed to leave.

Hotel California?

Especially with a state using modified language for example stone-throwing youth being called terrorists.

It's absolutely horrifying. I felt physically sick when I read about it.
I feel so panicky about it, and don't know what to do to help these poor souls. I'm a Christian, so I'll pray for them, and continue to pray for peace and for a more compassionate world. But, I don't know what to do in a practical sense 😔

He also claimed to have received support from doctors willing to participate in executions, saying they had told him: “Just tell us when.”
That is so disgusting

Turns out there's a petition about it doing the rounds. One tiny practical thing we can do...

I've signed it, and thought I'd share it on here, in case others aren't aware of it. Thank you.

A Palestinian teenager was starved in an Israeli prison before his death, a judge ruled before closing the case.

An autopsy did not establish a single, definitive cause of death but starvation was likely to be the leading cause, according to the report of an Israeli doctor who observed the procedure.

Dr Daniel Solomon also noted that the teen was suffering from extreme malnutrition and showed signs of scabies.

In Israel, judges can be requested to oversee an investigation into deaths of detainees in custody.

They are able to seek and review evidence to determine the cause of death, and establish if it resulted from wrongdoing by any party.

If evidence of wrongdoing is established, the judge can move toward criminal indictments. Or, as was done in Ahmad's case, they can order an investigation be stopped.

Haaretz published the ruling after successfully filing for a gag order on the case to be lifted.

Oh @ReturnOfTheToad that's horrific 😢😔
That poor kid.
I never cease to be shocked and appalled by the treatment of Palestinians by the Israeli authorities.
They seem to have lost their moral compass entirely 😳

It's awful. Thinking about the suffering he went through for 6 months, he must have been so scared and so lonely. His poor parents, knowing how much he suffered in his final months and knowing that they can't get any justice for him. It's just a horrible situation with way out, Palestinians are completely powerless.

Absolutely agree with everything you've said.
A terrible situation 😔

I couldn't agree more. Palestinians have no voice, no rights and no control over their own destiny. Everything is against them and the system is set up that they have no agency over their own lives.

If it's not Israel controlling every movement they make it's the USA making deals on their behalf with no thoughts to their wants and desires.

It is quite easy to see why terrorist groups like Hamas grow in members when the judicial system is against you.

The judge who said there was no way of establishing whether his evident starvation had caused his death, conveniently did not mention whether or not he was attended by a doctor, and if not, that he was unlawfully neglected.

Presumably he was not given all the medical attention he needed or there would be a full report around.

How do they live with themselves?

The lying!

I think this is what is so disturbing, the State are complicit in the tortures, neglect, abuse and sexual assaults. It can't be explained away with the suggestion that they're rogue officers, it is rotten to the core. Other nations, including the UK, have been found guilty of torture and prisoner abuse but once uncovered and investigated the law comes down on the side of the victim. The state is not complicit. Toxic society

Toxic society is right

Hanging within 90 days .
No avenue for appeal or clemency.
We know the courts have a 99% conviction rate for Palestinians and teg death penalty being handed down doesn't even need a unanimous verdict just a majority.
I am failing to see the difference between this and Iran hanging protesters that horrified so many posters on here.

Apparently it's different when it's not your own citizens your hanging. Stange ethics some people live by.

Thanks for clarifying @Boolabus so when you are just the occupying power and it's not your own citizens all bets are off .

Good to know where people's moral compass lies. All lives really are equal aren't they.

CNN journalists in the West Bank assaulted by the IDF. This is second attack on CNN this month. The other happened just days ago during Ramadan, a CNN producer was left with a fractured wrist after an “unprovoked assault” by Israeli police officers.

The Free Press Association said "This was not a misunderstanding … It was a violent assault on clearly identified journalists and a direct attack on press freedom."

“The use of force was excessive and dangerous. Pointing rifles at journalists and civilians, physically assaulting a cameraman and detaining a crew are actions that cross every line."

"Such behaviour reflects a deeply alarming pattern of hostility toward the media and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances."

Bill is passed. (Not that it was in any doubt it wouldn't be)

Shameful.

Oh no 😔 I hadn't followed the news today. I'm not surprised, but I'm desperately upset. I'd clung to hope that the bare minimum of decency would prevail.
I'm devastated, and full of righteous anger on behalf of Palestinians. God help them 🙏

And God help the Israelis.

What will US Jewish people with dual nationality think of the direction they are taking I wonder? Is this what they aspired to?

There are video of Gvir (he who wore a pin of a noose on his lapel) celebrating the passing of the bill with champagne.

How can this be squared with the image of a modern country competing on the world stage .

According to many posters they are just fringe extremists and don't represent the Israeli people who don't support them at all. It is all down to a proportional representative voting system apparently. From what I can tell they seem to have a hell of a lot of influence and power so no not fringe extreme ideas pretty mainstream and influential.

It can’t.
It can’t be squared with being civilised.

He’s a piece of shit. So disgusting.

And I think there were others wearing the noose pin.

Yes they were x.com/NTarnopolsky/status/2038883517405311000
