Two Palestinian citizens of Israel being held indefinitely in security prison for a possibly “dangerous” crime. Their offense? Writing graffiti in solidarity with Gaza.
The natural thing for me to do in a time of such a bloody war is to demonstrate daily and demand that Israel “Stop the War!” But Israel’s police, led by extreme right-winger Itamar Ben-Gvir, has succeeded, so far, in preventing any demonstrations. So, to compensate for my enforced silence, I have promised Mondoweiss to intensify my reporting about this awful war, and the way we are experiencing it in Haifa.
I have already described in detail how Israel has become a full-scale dictatorship (you can follow my reporting here). Every day, we encounter more mind-blowing examples of political repression, as well as some brave attempts to break the silence. I will do my best to keep you updated.
A fine of about 10k USD or… life in prison
Gee, sure sounds similar to me
