UNLEASHED: Abuse of Palestinians by Israeli Soldiers in the center of Hebron
For over a year, Israel has been waging an unrestrained war against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and within the State of Israel. The violence that has always characterized the Israeli apartheid regime’s treatment of Palestinians is now appearing in its most direct and exposed form. This report focuses on one facet of this violence: recurring instances of severe abuse of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers in the center of Hebron throughout the summer of 2024.

The ICC has finally issued arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. The fight is far from over.
Today, November 21, 2024, another brick in Israel’s Western-built wall of impunity has crumbled.
In a stunning decision rejecting all legal and jurisdictional challenges, defying Israeli threats, the harassment of Israel lobby trolls, and the obstruction of the U.S. government and Congress, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued warrants for the arrest of two of Israel’s leaders.
Acting unanimously, the pre-trial chamber of the ICC issued warrants for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, both charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity.
In doing so, the judges have given the world a glimmer of hope that the international legal system is not dead yet, that Israel is not above the law, that the abusive power of U.S. empire is not without challenge, and that justice may indeed be on the horizon. But if that justice is to prevail, all who believe in justice must remain vigilant.

“The conclusion could not be clearer,” said Nadia Daar, chief strategy and impact officer for Amnesty International USA, “that a genocide has been taking place in Gaza, and that a genocide is continuing in Gaza, and all states must do everything to prevent and to punish the genocide that is happening in Gaza.”
“It’s not just one incident, it’s not just, you know, one family or one hospital. It is a repeated pattern across Gaza across the last 14 months,” Daar added. “It is chilling when you put the whole picture together as this report does, and it is a stain on humanity.”
