Beaten, Starved, Tortured: New CPJ Report on Abuse of Palestinian Journalists in Israeli Prisons

Testimony and evidence from 59 Palestinian journalists reveals “strikingly consistent” reports of beatings, sensory deprivation, sexual violence, starvation and medical neglect while detained, according to a review by the Committee to Protect Journalists. Most of them were held under Israel’s so-called “administrative detention” policy and were never charged with any crime. The journalists lost an average of 52 pounds in Israeli prisons. “This report was one of the most difficult reports to work on, because you are listening to human beings who are describing inhuman conditions they had to face for months, and some of them for years,” says Sara Qudah, Middle East and North Africa regional director at the Committee to Protect Journalists.

cool, cool. Super cool.
I bought an item on eBay that said it was located in the US but the seller is actually in Israel. *super cool.*

I don't actually need advice on what to do now, so please refrain.

Just wanted to make others aware because this scenario hadn't occurred to me.

I was avoiding looking at the news during Shabbat, but since the sun is now down (and Shabbat is past) it is time to speak some truth.

It is long past time for #Netanyahu to step down. He is an enemy of world peace.

Netanyahu defies Biden, insisting there’s ‘no space’ for Palestinian state

The Israeli leader is under pressure over course of the Gaza war but is doubling down on opposition to a two-state solution

The Guardian

We shouldn’t underestimate the monumental failure of #Netanyahu and his administration to protect Israeli lives.

We should also note the border between #Gaza and #Isreal is 37 miles long. 37 miles. With lookouts every few miles. #IDF were warned of #hamas preparations and did nothing.

And so, in his shame for failing to prevent one crime against humanity, #netanyahu and his regime initiate another.

I repeat - 37 miles. #prosecutenetanyahu
