[IsraelTimes] Protesters dress as skeletons, hoist bloodied bundles to symbolize starving children; mother of Palestinian detained in Megiddo prison says he suffers from scabies, lost 10 kilos Thousands of Paleostinians protested in the West Bank’s major cities Sunday against the war in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... and in support of Paleostinians held in Israeli prisons. One of the largest marches took place in Ramallah, the seat of the Paleostinian Authority, located just north of Jerusalem, with hundreds gathering at the main square, waving Paleostinian flags. Many protesters carried photos of Paleostinians killed or imprisoned by Israel, as well as photos depicting the hunger crisis in the Gaza Strip, where UN-backed experts have said famine is unfolding. "My son is in Megiddo prison and he suffers from many things, such as the lack of medicine and the lack of food," Rula Ghanem, a Paleostinian academic and writer who took part in the march, told AFP, referring to an Israeli maximum security facility that has been accused of abusing inmates. She told AFP that her son had lost 10 kilograms (22 pounds) and suffered from scabies in jail. The number of Paleostinians nabbed Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! by Israel has skyrocketed since the Hamas ![]() onslaught of October 7, 2023, which sparked the war in Gaza. Israel says it has detained some 6,000 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank in that time, including more than 2,350 affiliated with Hamas. According to the PA’s Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs, some of those detained were arrested for posting political statements on social media. The commission’s front man Thaer Shriteh told AFP: "The international community is a partner in all this suffering, as long as it does not intervene quickly to save the Paleostinian people and save the prisoners inside the prisons and detention centers." One group of protesters at the Ramallah demonstration dressed as skeletons and carried dolls around to symbolize the Gaza war’s dire effect on children, who are most at risk of malnutrition. "We hope that our stand today will have an impact in supporting our people in Gaza and the hungry children in Gaza," said 39-year-old Tagreed Ziada, one of the protesters at the Ramallah march. Israel has denied reports of widespread starvation in Gaza and has accused Hamas of hijacking aid deliveries. Protests were also held Sunday in other major Paleostinian cities such as Nablus in the north and Hebron in the south, with many employees of the Paleostinian Authority receiving a day off to attend the demonstrations. While there have been somewhat regular demonstrations against the war in Gaza, they are rarely coordinated across various cities in the West Bank. |
