urgent call from b'tselem to the international communityUrgent call to the international community to take immediate action to stop Israel’s violence and prevent pogroms by settler militias and the Israeli army across the West Bank.

In recent days, violence by settler

 

 militias, enabled and supported by the Israeli army, has escalated across the West Bank, including the torching and destruction of Palestinian property, and the forced expulsion of families and communities. These attacks have been met with silence and inaction from much of the international community, allowing the violence to continue and intensify.

The event in the village of Tell (Area B) when a settlers’ “tour” in the village ended with the killing of at least 4 Palestinians and 1 settler and several people injured is leading to escalated violence in the area with settlers, ministers, and Knesset members calling for further revenge attacks which already started across the West Bank. Experience shows that these events can escalate quickly into mass pogroms when met with silence.

We call the international community to act now. Immediate pressure must be placed on Israel to stop further attacks, prevent pogroms and further killings, and ensure the protection of Palestinians, in accordance with Israel’s obligations under international law.

Novara Media on how izrahell is treating the Flotilla activists

from a Novara Media post: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GpSUdcYTj/

israeli soldiers forced Global Sumud Flotilla participants to kneel on the ground with their hands zip-tied for at least five hours after they were detained while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, their lawyers have said. 

Adalah, a humanitarian organisation based in Haifa, said a team of lawyers had met with 331 of the 462 people who had their boats illegally seized by Israeli forces while in international waters on Wednesday and Thursday.

In a report published on Friday, Adalah said participants’ rights had been “systematically violated” in Israeli detention, even before they were transferred to Ketziot, the notorious prison where they are now being held.

Detainees were denied basic necessities like drinking water, access to toilets and medication, Adalah said, as well as legal representation.

Lawyers waited outside Ashdod Port for nine hours on Thursday, Adalah said, while Israeli authorities denied them entry and instead began illegally processing cases and conducting hearings inside without them.

When the legal team eventually did gain access – working from 3pm on Thursday to 5.30am on Friday morning to support as many people as possible – several participants told them they had been violently woken whenever they tried to sleep, and subjected to threats and aggression.

Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, was filmed at the port, shouting at participants, in what Adalah described as “an act of humiliation and intimidation” and “a degrading display of control”.

Despite reporting these alarming details, Adalah said that everyone their legal team met with was in “relatively stable condition”.

Adalah confirmed that a lawyer had met with British-Palestinian Novara Media journalist Kieran Andrieu at Ashdod port, and confirmed that he was unharmed at the time. He is now believed to be in Ketziot prison with other participants.

Detainees are expected to be held until Sunday or Monday and then deported.

Adalah said it is pursuing legal measures to “guarantee that every single participant is accounted for” and continuing prison visits.
