Israel’s Military Occupation Must Be Discussed in the Colonial Context
In June 1967, Israel displaced over 400,000 Palestinians as a result of the Six-Day War.

Severe Torture in Israeli Prisons Targets Palestinian Steadfastness
In the last months of 2019 and early 2020, a growing number of cases of severe physical torture against Palestinian detainees carried out by Israeli Shin Bet interrogators have been documented. While torture and abuse of various kinds have been a mainstay of the Israeli interrogation process, after a 1999 Israeli Supreme Court ruling and amid widespread international attention, torture under interrogation for some years focused on physical and psychological techniques that were less likely to leave physical scars.
