8 Feb 2021 – Why is a court of law important? Because the menace that underpinned the assault of 2014 is still present: the dehumanization of Palestinians. Walled off and vilified, anything can be done to the people of Gaza. A trial will amplify their story of being under intensive attack behind a wall. Let Gazans tell their story.

In the United States, as in Britain, accusations of the prevalence of antisemitism abound and are used as sticks to beat those – protesting too vigorously? – at Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.

Interviews with children who have been detained, video footage, and reports from lawyers reveal that Israeli security forces are using unnecessary force in arresting and detaining children, in some cases beating them, and holding them in unsafe and abusive conditions. “Palestinian children are treated in ways that would terrify and traumatize an adult. Screams, threats, and beatings are no way for the police to treat a child or to get accurate information from them.”

Many Germans were appalled by the scale of the madness, cruelty and barbarism, but they didn’t lift a finger. Apart from a few who hid Jewish neighbours in their homes, or had the courage to help the wounded, most saw what was happening, heard the cries and turned away. They were frightened.

Any state which is fighting an insurgency or ‘radicalisation’ – and most are – is likely to be looking to Israel for its equipment, information and expertise learned in over 65 years of ‘pacifying’ the Palestinians says Jeff Halper in his powerful new book.
