Shireen Al-Issawi, the sister of hunger striker Samer Al-Issawi, has
called for greater support for the issue of hunger striking Palestinian
prisoners in Israeli jails.
She told the PIC in an interview that the Israeli occupation
authorities (IOA) refused to allow medical checkups on her brother,
whose health condition is deteriorating.
Shireen, a lawyer, criticized the Palestinian Authority for not
heading to the UN, human rights groups and the international criminal
court and filing complaints against Israel’s practices and crimes and to
demand freedom for the Palestinian prisoners.
The PA should exploit the hunger strike by a number of prisoners and
expose the Israeli practices against them, she said, adding that the PA
should also ask Cairo to intervene in the issue in its capacity as the
patron of the prisoners’ exchange agreement that stipulated among other
things that those freed in the agreement would not be re-arrested and
also limited the use of the administrative detention policy.
Shireen said that the Israeli court decision banning her from
attending her brother’s court hearings was part of the psychological
pressures on him.
Occupied Palestine
The present situation of Gaza what is left of Palestine being military attacked by Israel under the excuse of "defending from terrorists". Most of the casualties/dead are children. This blog is just record keeping. Photo Courtesy: Harry Fear, Journalist 2012

Right to Defend itself
Israel has always cried 'holocaust' tears to the world while singing the old tune of "Defending itself and its citizens".
How do they do it? By banning or killing international journalists by bribing their supportive governments.
Palestine is destroyed as a State so is Gaza. Meanwhile the "chronically suffering Israel" has developed to a point it does not need Uncle Sam anymore, see their infrastructure, see their military development up to nuclear programs... and they are the eternal "poor" in need.
