Spoke to Middle East Eye about Israel’s attacks and policies towards Gaza the past week as the most egregious example of collective punishment in this or indeed any recent conflict.

Complete defiance of applicable international law.

Full article here:

Collective punishment is a war crime. Israel is doing it anyway

Israeli rhetoric and actions in recent weeks are punishing a group which bears no responsibility for any crimes in Gaza, legal experts say

The arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student activist and lawful permanent resident, is another attack on human rights by the Trump administration.

Freedom of expression and peaceful assembly are human rights, not grounds for deportation.

U.S. authorities must release Mahmoud Khalil immediately
