There is more than meets the eyes















Israel is working to legalize the murder of Palestinian hostages in its prisons. Israel holds Palestinians for years without charge or a fair chance to appeal in courts. Dozens have died in custody from torture, medical neglect, and other abuses in recent years.



Keurt Israëlisch parlement omstreden voorstel over doodstraf goed? "Geldt in praktijk enkel voor Palestijnen" vrtnws.be/p.dLWykN4jY?t=… #vrtnws




Jesus Wept. I certainly did.

Israel must immediately repeal the discriminatory death penalty law passed today by the Knesset, as it contravenes Israel’s obligations under international law. The United Nations opposes the death penalty under all circumstances. The implementation of this new law would violate international law's prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment. Additionally, this law further entrenches Israel’s violation of the prohibition of racial segregation and apartheid as it will exclusively apply to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Israel, who are often convicted after unfair trials.
