Walid Daqqa’s body will be held captive until March 2025, “to complete his sentence.” Even in death, his family is denied a last embrace.

[ID: tweet from @/shimmeringolds on november 18th, 2023 that reads: “You all please look at this!!!! On Monday the Israeli occupation parliament is presenting a law to kill 7000 Palestinians in illegal israeli occupation prisons!!! If it passes, it means that the Palestinians who are in those prisons will be killed as part of the zionist law!!!”

the tweet she is quoting is from @/QudsNen (Quds News Network) on november 18th, 2023 and that tweet reads: “The Extremist "Itamar Ben Gvir" Minister of National Security in the Israeli occupation government:

"On Monday, there will be the first reading of the death penalty law for Palestinian political prisoners, this law is presented by the

"Otzma Yehudit" party (led by the extremist Ben Gvir) this law will be discussed in the national security committee. He added, I expect all members of the Knesset (Israeli parliament) to support this important law"

The number of Palestinians in Israeli prisons has increased to 7000 prisoners, 64 of whom are women. And tens of children. #Palestine_Genocide” Below the text there is a photo of Itamar Ben Gvir. End ID.]

Free Khalida Jarrar! The feminist, leftist, and Palestinian scholar was seized from her home in El-Bireh, occupied Palestine, in the morning hours of 26 December 2023 as part of mass arrests by Zionist forces in the West Bank of occupied Palestine during the genocide in Gaza.

Jarrar is a historical leftist leader with the PFLP and is currently a scholar and researcher at the Muwatin Institute at Birzeit University. In fact, she was scheduled to appear on 27 December at a panel convened by Jadaliyya on imprisonment in the time of genocide.

She is a lifelong advocate for the liberation of political prisoners and was targeted specifically for her statements and advocacy for the liberation of Palestinian prisoners.Jarrar has been imprisoned on multiple occasions by the occupation regime, including in 2015, when her administrative detention without charge or trial drew global protests before she was then transferred to the occupation military courts.

In 2019, she was once again seized by the occupation regime. While she was imprisoned, her daughter Suha tragically passed away. She was denied the right to see Suha's body and attend her funeral before she was released again in 2021.

During both of her times of imprisonment, she established independent educational programs to teach the imprisoned minor girls the high school education they were denied as well as the adult women prisoners their rights under international law.

She discusses her imprisonment in the book by RamzyBaroud and Ilan Pappe, "Our vision for liberation;" her piece is published at the PalestineChronicle:

Shuaib Abu Snina was kidnapped and sentenced to life imprisonment for 99 years by Israeli occupation forces on Oct. 25, 1998. After spending 13 years in prison, Shuiab was among the prisoners to be released in Wafa al-Ahrar. But he was also among the prisoners exiled to Gaza. Shuaib was devastated that the faces of his children, Sumira, Mimona, Khaled, and Qtayiba, and his wife, Manal, would not be the first things he would see after being freed. Manal managed to meet her husband after trying several times. She visited Gaza three times, returning to Jerusalem to take care of her children in between each visit. Every time she visited Gaza, she faced harassment and inspections by the Israeli occupation forces.  Shuaib reported that Manal gave birth to a child named Mou'taz in 2012. Israeli occupation refused to issue his birth certificate for 10 months. The occupation also prevented the family from traveling back to Gaza. "Israeli forces detained Manal and raided our house and stole the money that I sent for my children," he said.  "After several arrests and home raids in the Silwan neighborhood of Jerusalem, the Israeli occupation told Khalid, my eldest son, that they 'will not deal with your [family] as citizens with rights in Jerusalem unless your father divorces your mother,'" Shuaib explained. With a lump in his throat and a voice full of sadness, Shuaib said: " I was forced to go to court in Gaza and divorce my wife in a sham divorce, but the occupation returned the divorce document. I was compelled to formally divorce my wife." He divorced his wife because he loves her, and he wants his family to live as citizens with rights. "After more than 30 years of patience, is this the reward for her kindness?" he lamented.

Three years ago today.

6 Palestinian detainees in the Zionist “Gilboa” prison dug a tunnel from their cells all the way out. That prison was supposed to be a safe, a “high security” prison, the most secure place for the Occupier, “Israel”.

The escapees were chased for about 10 days before being caught & detained again by “Israel”.

Since then we can only imagine the treatment the Occupation has been mercilessly inflicting upon them.

Freedom to all prisoners, glory to the resistance and down with zionism.

Palestinian Hostages in Israeli Detainment Camps and Prisons

At least 9,500 Palestinians are detained in Israeli prisons, with Tel Aviv refusing to disclose information on detainees from Gaza post October 7.

Several human rights groups, Palestinian authorities and former detainees have complained of abuses in Israeli jails.

But the pictures of Palestinian prisoners do touch a nerve throughout the world, and the reason for that goes far to explain why Palestinian Arabs—with the support of much of the Islamic world—persist in their century-old war against Zionism.

It is hardly surprising that images of Jewish suffering do not move the not-insubstantial percentage of the world’s population that thinks the Jews are not entitled to sovereignty or the right of self-defense in their ancient homeland. But what they really can’t stand is the idea that Jews are no longer homeless or at the mercy of a hostile world, as they were before the establishment of modern-day Israel in 1948. The notion that a despised minority, against whom the virus of antisemitism continues to incite unthinking hatred and demonization, are now powerful enough to defeat their foes is difficult for them to swallow.

This goes beyond sympathy for the Palestinians. They are trapped in an irredentist mindset that not only prevents them from accepting the multiple offers of statehood and peace Israel has made over the years but causes them to see a refusal to accept the Jewish state’s legitimacy and permanence as inextricably linked with their national identity.

The photos of Hamas prisoners are, by the standards of war photography, nothing particularly unusual or outrageous, and certainly not evidence of abuse. The documentation of their detention is certainly preferable to the silence that Hamas continues to adhere to about the fate of the hostages they have not yet released of whom no proof of life in any form has been forthcoming.

Yet the photos do seem outrageous to those who, whether Muslims or not, see Jews as what the Islamic world traditionally referred to as dhimmi. In Islamic societies, the dhimmi were “protected” residents of a country but treated as inferior to Muslims. Indeed, the photos provoke anger because they show that Hamas, which rightly anticipated that their atrocities would spark a surge in antisemitism rather than a backlash against them, is losing the war they started against the Jews. Their humiliation is evidence that their understanding of the world has been turned upside-down with the Jews no longer relegated to the status of a despised and powerless minority.

The anger about the images of Palestinian prisoners is not a reaction to evidence of Israeli crimes. Instead, it is more proof that the anti-Israel protests that have proliferated in the United States and elsewhere are motivated largely by antisemitic motives, whether rooted in modern leftist theories or historic religious hatred. Rather than a sidebar to the debate about the war, the anger about the photos shows us just how deep intolerance for Israel and the Jews runs.

When workers are treated like prisoners

[fiapple]

"Former prisoner Kamal Abu Arab said, 'The occupation does not respect our humanity, and the prisoners feel forgotten. No one mentions them; no visits from lawyers, no visits from the Red Cross.

News is prohibited, prayers and the call to prayer are prohibited, medical treatments are prohibited, and requests are prohibited. According to the administration of the prison service, we have no rights as humans.

Does anyone remember us in this world?'"

ID: Research article published December 1, 2022 entitled "'You're Not Defeated As Long As You're Resisting': Palestinian Hunger Strikes Between the Singular and the Collective: An Interview with Lena Meari", by Lena Meari, Sameria Esmair, and Ramsey McGlazer. /end ID

In theoretical terms, the [hunger] strike is at once a condensation of suffering and a moment of temporal compression that prevents the continuation of suffering. Engaging in a hunger strike requires and creates stiffened strugglers. Practically, the strike, regardless of its form, entails the captives' suspending the routines of their daily lives. Activities mandated by the prison authorities are suspended, as are all activities that captives have gained the right to through long struggle. These include family visits, breaks, showers, medical visits, access to medicine, talking to guards—or eating. The suspension of eating is the most dangerous form of strike. Any suspension can be partial, or involve one or several daily activities, or be conducted gradually according to a set timetable. But the open-ended hunger strike is total, dramatic, and immediate. It seeks to interrupt the order fashioned and implemented by prison authorities. This strike, unlike other kinds, entails a self-targeting on the part of captives themselves, without whom the prison does not exist. If the colonial justification for the prison is the existence of the captives, who must be pacified through punishment, then who is left to be punished if the captives have taken control over their own corporeal existence? In this kind of self-targeting or self-striking, the monopoly that the prison aims to exercise over the bodies of the captives is shattered. The prison is no longer. Or at least it is no more for the time being. Or, in a legal register, since the prison authorities are responsible for the fate of prisoners under their custody, the strike is a sign of their failure to fulfill their duties and commitments—that is, the prison's failure to be a prison as it was designed to be.
