"In the context of widespread and ongoing violence against the Palestinian people, we express our horror at the killing, disablement, targeting and abduction of healthcare workers across the occupied Palestinian territories.

In the past three weeks there have been additional, extremely alarming developments. Since November 18th, 43 Palestinian healthcare workers have disappeared, and are likely to have been abducted by Israeli forces*. Only five have since been released.

The immediate release of abducted healthcare worker

The end of the practice of arbitrary abduction and detention of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank

An immediate end to all forms of violence against the Palestinian people, including patients and healthcare workers

I really want it to set in for non palestinians that a 16 year old child was shot and killed and nobody is going to be held responsible

he's not even the first CHILD to be killed this way by the IDF, let alone the first innocent person to be killed.

and we palestinians have to live with this hopelessness and powerlessness every single day

The American government and the UK governments are openly funding the murder and displacement of Palestinians. So you cannot be neutral on this. And you cannot say there's nothing you can do.

We need you to help us.

His name was Saeed Odeh. His future was stolen from him by the IDF.

الله يرحمه ويصبر أهله

il funerale di Saeed Odeh, 16 anni, ucciso ieri dalle forze di occupazione israeliane nel villaggio di Udala nella Cisgiordania occupata. The Ministry of Education: “The occupation army’s targeting and killing of student Saeed Odeh is a new crime that requires urgent intervention to put an end to violations against children and students.” nelle foto sotto: la sorella, del martire ucciso dall'esercito nazisionista Massimo Barbieri

الله يرحمه

its so ridiculous, how people are like, “im neutral on the issue.” no, honey, you don’t get to be neutral. if you have decided to keep your mouth shut on this issue, you are supporting the oppressors. those who shot 16-year old Saeed Odeh. those illegally occupying the palestinians lands and forcing the habitants from their homes, humiliating and beating the protestants and setting fire to holy places. you are in league with the zionist terrorists. pick a side.
