🇵🇸 Francesca Albanese: Western media is living in an alternate reality | The Listening Post

One exception has been Francesca Albanese - the United Nation’s Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian territories. She joins us for an interview on #terminology, #context and the blindspots of mainstream media.

🇵🇸 Gaza destruction: Palestinians return back to destroyed homes

Palestinians who left central Gaza at the start of the War have been using the ceasefire to return home, for the first time since the war broke out.
But many no longer have homes to go back to, as Israeli air strikes have reduced entire neighbourhoods to rubble.

Al Jazeera’s Youmna El Sayed reports from the #Nuseirat refugee camp, in the Central Gaza Strip.

🇵🇸 Horrific scenes unfolding in UN-run shelters for displaced people in Gaza | EuroMed HR Monitor

Horrific scenes are unfolding in #UN-run shelters for Palestinian refugees as inhumane conditions prevail in the Gaza Strip, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said in a statement issued Sunday, expressing shock and deep concern over the international community’s possibly deliberate evasion of its duty to protect civilian lives

Nearly 900,000 out of the more than 1.7 million internally displaced people in Gaza, or nearly 80% of the Strip’s population, live in shelters run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (#UNRWA), according to EMHRM. About 99 UNRWA facilities, all in the south of the Gaza Valley, are housing displaced Palestinians

🇵🇸 Meet Najwa, not ‘Khamas’ | Palestine Diary

Najwa is a young sweet girl and a Palestinian freedom fighter from Jenin. Her resilience, spirit of resistance, and her awareness of the Palestinian struggle, are unmatched outside Palestine, but there are many Najaws inside occupied Palestine. And that's why Palestine will be free from the River to the Sea.

Jenin Jenin, directed and co-produced by Palestinian actor and director Mohamed Bakri, includes testimony from Jenin residents after the Israeli army's "Defensive Wall" operation, during which the city and camp were the scenes of fierce fighting. The operation ended with Jenin flattened and scores of Palestinians dead. Palestinians as well as numerous human rights groups accused Israel of committing war crimes in the April 2002 attack on the refugee camp. Jenin Jenin shows the extent to which the prolonged oppression and terror has affected the state of mind of the Palestinian inhabitants of #Jenin.

🇵🇸 Report : Interrogations, Arrests, and Indictments of Palestinian Citizens of Israel since 7 October - Adalah –

Since 7 October 2023, Palestinian citizens of Israel have faced political persecution and a severe crackdown on their freedom of expression and assembly. The repression of speech is the result of widespread and coordinated efforts between government offices, Israeli institutions, and far-right groups, all targeting Palestinian citizens and those who dare to express dissent against the military’s retaliatory attacks on Gaza.

Adalah's legal team cooperates with the High Follow-up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel and its Emergency Committee, as well as with lawyers, popular committees and partner NGOs in many towns and villages to monitor and document rights violations and to represent Palestinian citizens of Israel facing these criminal charges.

🇵🇸 Adalah Launches New Podcast on Palestinians’ Rights

Adalah (“Justice” in Arabic) is an independent human rights organization and legal center. It was founded in November 1996 as a joint project of two leading Arab NGOs - The Galilee Society and the Arab Association for Human Rights (HRA), and it became an independent NGO in 1997.

Adalah’s mission is to promote human rights in Israel in general and the rights of the Palestinian minority, citizens of Israel, in particular (around 1.5 million people, or 20% of the population). This work also includes promoting and defending the human rights of all individuals subject to the jurisdiction of the State of Israel (e.g. Palestinian residents of the OPT). #Adalah is the first Palestinian Arab-run legal center in Israel, and the sole Palestinian organization that works before Israeli courts to protect the human rights of Palestinians in Israel and in the OPT.

Israel deports human rights defender documenting Palestinian home demolitions – Mondoweiss – 27/11/2023

Alison Russell was detained by Israeli forces while documenting home demolitions in Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank. She was deported following a perfunctory hearing where Israeli police accused her of "supporting terrorism."

In the case of human rights defender Alison Russell, the far-fetched charges of “supporting terrorism” or “keyboard terrorism” cover up the real reason for her detention and deportation. In court, the state asserted that “she had many times disrupted the activities of the #IOF troops, whenever she came in contact with them”. Indeed, it is highly disturbing for the troops to have outside #observers and witnesses present where acts of oppression take place, which often constitute blatant violations of International Law.
