I've only read a few Palestinian prisoners stories and I have to stop each time. I'm usually one who can sit and read for hours. It's devastating but necessary reading - we MUST get these stories to as many eyes as possible.
After 10 days of detention by Israeli occupation forces, the traces of #torture on the body of Palestinian #prisoner Amir Shuja'iyeh from #Ramallah are evident.
"After more than seven months of the Israeli genocide in #Gaza – a word Physicians for Human Rights-Israel still refuses to use – the group acknowledges that “the Israeli government and other entities have been exploiting reports of sexual violence in a manipulative and cynical manner.”
Too little, too late!"
Actualizing Human Rights: Global Inequality, Future People, and Motivation by Jos Philips, 2020
Taking a perspective from moral and political philosophy, the book focuses on two challenges to human rights that have until now received little attention, but that need to be addressed if human rights are to remain plausible as a global ideal.

A Declaration of the Rights of Human Beings On the Sovereignty of Life as Surpassing the Rights of Man 2ed by Raoul Vaneigem, 2019

1/3 Inaccuracies of the #NYT story ('ScreamsWithoutWords) and Sheryl Sandberg's new ridiculous hoax movie effort based on the shoddy, unsupported, unretracted mass r@pe NYT story. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6lcwepx4Nw/
This debunking is important since US audiences are primed to believe Palestinians are guilty of everything being suggested or done to them and more. (Sound familiar? #Superpredators, anyone?)
1/2 🎧5-4 supreme court podcast on the anti- genocide campus protests and free speech - lawyers talking about laws.
One of the hosts or creators of the pod, who also got arrested at one of the protests, tells exactly how it happened. Absolutely wild. They discuss campus events first and mostly, the law as it relates (and doesn't) .

A guy the police told to disperse the protesters did as requested, turned around to tell cops he told the crowd and was tackled to the ground like he'd tried to take their gun or something.
Riannon was zip tied - one LEO asked what's she arrested for and another LEO calls back he "heard" she was fighting. Later the scene repeated and it was unlawful assembly or something. Entirely arbitrary.
Militarized police officers assaulting, on camera, an unarmed 65-year-old woman, Annalise Orleck, who also happens to be Chair of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth, is ensuring Jewish safety on campus.
