This @nytimes headline is trash. It should read, “Israel criminalizes resistance to apartheid and abuses its full control over Palestinian life to punish them further” nytimes.com/2020/05/09/wor… #Thread #Palestinian #Freedom #Prisoners
As a settler colony, Israel has criminalized Palestinian life- you can go to jail 4 crossing the wrong street, driving on the wrong road, having a political thought, living w ur fam, farming on your land, doing nothing at all under administrative detention. Your crime is to exist
Since 1967, #Israel has imprisoned 20% of the Palestinian population, & 40% of all men. Prison is a feature of Palestinian life and that is a reflection of a colonial reality. #prisoners #Palestinian #freedom
Now Israel wants to withhold payments to former #prisoners - cruel punishment w 0 impact on deterrence- which it can do as an #Occupying power.Oh & also #Israel is holding $140 mil of #Palestinian taxes they cant collect themselves. So @nytimes maybe we shld talk about #apartheid
