Israel dug up nearly 200 graves in a Palestinian cemetery in Gaza. In the past two years, it has destroyed 21 of Gaza’s 60 cemeteries.

What ICE is doing to America is familiar to me as a Palestinian Today Americans are getting a taste of what Palestinians have experienced for decades: state terror.

“Palestinian children are regularly used by Israeli soldiers as “human shields” when they raid neighbourhoods; their detention and abuse is often used to put pressure on family members to surrender — just as ICE did with Liam Ramos and his father.”

The impossible task of representing Palestinian detainees With Israel running its prisons as 'torture facilities,' lawyers point to the absence of state and judicial oversight allowing them to operate with impunity.

“[Palestinian captives] testified that before lawyer visits they were held for hours in stress positions, shackled tightly, blindfolded, beaten, and even raped, apparently to deter them from meeting with counsel.”

Gaza Is a Crime Scene, Not a Real Estate Opportunity The Trump administration’s plan for a New Gaza has nothing to do with peace and rebuilding, and everything to do with erasure.

“Gaza is being treated as a distressed asset or a failed start-up awaiting new management, rather than a homeland and the site of a crime scene, with thousands of bodies still missing underneath the rubble.”

Confidence in Trump to handle global issues On balance, most people across 24 nations are not confident in Trump to handle immigration, conflict in Ukraine and Israel, China relations, the global economy, and climate change.

71% of Israelis have confidence in Trump’s ability to handle US immigration policies. It’s no surprise, given that 82% of Israelis support ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

ICE & Israel's military have similar tactics & goals: violently forcing families out of their homes because of their identity.
