Across Germany, demonstrations against Israel’s bombardment on Gaza have been banned and criminalised. Even anti-Zionist Jews in Germany are not safe from extreme state repression and expressing solidarity with the Palestinian liberation movement.
In-depth: The arrest of the Egyptian father of a German activist is the latest in an escalating trend of targeting families of outspoken activists to silence dissent, while the international community turns a blind eye.
Germany continues in its attempts to censor & repress Palestinians & Palestine solidarity whilst extending endless support for Israel & its apartheid practices. But these tactics will not stop people mobilising & speaking out, argues Hebh Jamal.
The imprisonment of Shukri Abu Baker and the Holy Land Five set a dangerous precedent for criminalising all support for Palestine in the US. Nearly two decades later, the call to free them and all political prisoners is growing, writes Hebh Jamal.
States of Journalism: The Washington Post's undercutting of their own investigative report which reinforced that Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israeli forces is another example of Palestinians being blamed even in death, writes Hebh Jamal.
Following the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, political figures in the US expressed ‘outrage’ and offered their condolences, but this means nothing in the face of their continued support for Israel which includes considerable aid, writes Hebh Jamal.
