Israel has published the list of all 1,000 #Palestinians to be freed in phase 1: • 136 (including 25 children) aren't convicted. • 61 (including 15 children) aren't even accused of anything ("administrative detainees"). • The rest? Convicted in courts with a near-100% conviction rate. #Palestine

Fewer & fewer #Palestinians who are attacked by Israeli civilians in the #WestBank complain to Israeli authorities. Why..? (1) 97% of Israeli investigations end without even a partial conviction. (2) Filing a complaint risks Israeli retribution. (Source in the comment below)

Military service is the strongest predictor of becoming a "mass casualty offender." Since 2011, nearly 45 U.S. military veterans each year have committed crimes driven by political, economic, social, or religious motives:

The next US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, helped raise $35 million for a new hospital in the #WestBank that will only serve Jews. In 2008, he claimed: "There’s really no such thing as a #Palestinian. That's been a political tool to try and force land away from Israel".

Right-wing politicians in #Israel & the U.S. are pushing bills to ban the term ‘West Bank’ and replace it with the biblical term ‘Judea & Samaria’. This linguistic shift is part of Israel’s de-facto annexation of the #WestBank – and it has a deeper history🧵 #Palestine 1/8
