We should call it like it is: Israel executes people without trial nearly every day. Any other description is a lie. If there was once discussion here about the death penalty for terrorists, now they are executed even without trial (and without discussion). If once there was debate over the rules of engagement, today it’s clear: we shoot to kill – any suspicious Palestinian.

Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan outlined the situation clearly when he said, “Every terrorist should know he will not survive the attack he is about to commit” – and almost every politician joined him in nauseating unison, from Yair Lapid on up. Never have so many licenses to kill been handed out here, nor has the finger been so itchy on the trigger.

The Brave Israeli Soldiers and the Palestinian Pothole Attack

The IDF has won again. Last Saturday it prevented a serious attack by volunteers from the Arab-Jewish group Ta’ayush who were fixing up a portion of the road that leads to Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank. The medals go to soldiers from the Keren battalion in the Artillery Corps, to the battalion commander who refused to identify himself, to another commander with two oak leaves named Aviv, to a restless soldier with antennas sticking out of his backpack and a stun grenade poking from his pocket, and to soldier Y.B.

Israel forcibly treated hunger-striking journalist

After 56 days on hunger strike, Palestinian journalist Muhammad al-Qiq is now losing consciousness intermittently and constantly vomiting acid from his empty stomach. He cannot walk without assistance and his hearing and sight have weakened.

Al-Qiq, a 33-year-old journalist, is undertaking a hunger strike to protest being held without charge or trial under an administrative detention order issued by an Israeli military court late last year. Administrative detention is a relic of the British Mandate used by Israel to indefinitely imprison Palestinians on the basis secret evidence.

On Saturday, 16 January, an Israeli military court rejected al-Qiq’s appeal to end his detention. The judge made his decision without considering his critical condition, or that he is a journalist, according to the prisoners’ rights group Addameer.
