Labs of Oppression, Part One: Masafer Yatta

The Intercept recently featured an in-depth article describing Israel’s decades-long campaign of discrimination and violence against Palestinians – in a way that begins to capture the magnitude of the injustice. The many forms of mistreatment require a lengthy article. IAK has broken it into four manageable parts which we will release over the next several days.
In Part One, read about the case of the hamlets of Masafer Yatta, where Israeli policy is trying to force Palestinians to leave – either by discriminatory legislation or intimidation and violence.

Thursday-Friday: Israeli forces kill 5 Palestinians

Two articles describe how Israeli troops have killed 5 more Palestinians, one a youth riding his bicycle, another executed although he was unconscious and posed no threat. 12 others were shot; some are in serious condition. Israel has been responsible for the deaths of 89 Palestinians since the beginning of this year, including 17 children and one woman.
