Israel’s generations-long assault on Palestine continues as it always has – that is to say it continues unabated.
“You were washing the floors just like any other prisoner,” NPR reporter Daniel Estrin says to former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert in a long and respectful interview. But more than 4,000 Palestinian political prisoners are held on different terms by Israel, conditions cited by human rights reports charging apartheid– a charge that was unmentioned by the radio reporter.
Former Israeli High Court of Justice Justice Menachem Mazuz says he left the Court last year because he could no longer lend legitimacy to Palestinian house demolitions, which he said reflect the barbaric principle of an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert says Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is the sole partner for peace, while Netanyahu has blocked peace with “provocative, aggressive” actions and it’s not a story in the US press.
