🇵🇸 A 15-year-old Palestinian boy remains unconscious in intensive care and may lose his right foot after Israel denied him treatment in prison as his health collapsed, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said.

Mohammed Hamid developed scabies in Israeli custody, but prison authorities withheld necessary care even as his condition deteriorated. He was then returned to prison in critical condition, where severe infections spread to his heart and brain.

Only after he reached a life-threatening stage did Israeli authorities release him, in what the group described as an attempt to escape responsibility. Mohammed is now unconscious at Shaare Zedek Hospital, with doctors considering the amputation of his right foot.

The Prisoners’ Club said his case reflects a systematic Israeli policy of using medical neglect and deprivation of treatment as tools of “slow killing” against Palestinian prisoners, including children, within a prison system of torture and abuse that has escalated sharply since the start of the genocide.Bild

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

It is more crucial than ever that we reckon with this history, including histories of resistance that offer us a path forward as organizers. The full podcast series is out now, and it’s riveting, so please take a listen.

Understanding what is happening today — an authoritarian government that is cracking down on free speech, stripping trans rights, deporting, detaining, and killing immigrants, and funding Israeli genocide in Gaza — requires understanding how this country has treated Native people since its founding.

“For the first time in my life, I felt completely helpless. There was only one of me and more than 40 of them, backed by the occupation forces. They threw stones at me as I ran; I had no idea if some of them were carrying guns."

AIPAC has spent a record amount in this race to elect my opponent because she'll be a reliable vote to a foreign government that is aiding, arming, and abetting a genocide. I want your tax dollars spent on schools in Michigan, healthcare in Michigan, and roads in Michigan.

This is Israel’s deliberate policy of ongoing Nakba. To maintain business as usual with the genocidal state of Israel or any of its complicit companies and institutions is to be complicit too. We need you to channel your rage, frustration, and grief into effective, strategic BDS action now.
