A Palestinian writer describes recent events as “raiding the prison posts” where Israel has kept Palestinians locked up – literally and figuratively – for years. Western media rarely include such inconvenient truths.
New info and stats about the ongoing situation – updated regularly – also provides background & history. (This is pinned to the top – see additional new posts below.)
Two Palestinian young men were killed, nine Palestinian children were detained; the pope is disgusted by Israelis who spit on Christians.
