Dozens of Palestinian families are waiting for the bodies of family members killed by Israeli forces. It may never happen

On June 16, Mai Afaneh, a 29-year-old Palestinian psychiatrist who was teaching at al Istiqlal University was shot dead in her car by Israeli forces at the entrance of the town of Hizma in West Bank.

The incident sent a double shockwave through Afaneh’s family both for the accusations that they vehemently deny, insisting that she had neither a motive nor the capacity to carry out such an attack, and for being denied her slain body. Afaneh is survived by her husband and 5-year-old daughter. “Deliberately and unlawfully punishing the families of the deceased, who are not accused of any wrongdoing, constitutes a form of collective punishment, another serious violation of international humanitarian law,” Shakir toldAfaneh is now among those Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli soldiers with no proof that they posed an imminent threat to anyone’s life.

HRW’s Shakir said this policy is in large part used “as a deterrent and leverage to secure the release of two Israeli civilians and the bodies of two Israeli soldiers evidently held by Hamas authorities, unlawfully, in Gaza.”

Israel approves demolition of Palestinian home after attackJERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the decision to destroy the family home of a detained Palestinian accused of a deadly shooting. It rejected a petition by his estranged wife, who lives in the house with their children and says she knew nothing about the attack. You are literally spreading blood libel. The family knew of the attack, and per Israeli policy, if you kill a civlian in a terror attack your home is razed. The fact that they are US citizens is not related. Report the correct facts. Don't synpthaise with the terrorists. Israel did that only on an accusation? So if the UN accussed Israel of Apartheid, what would that mean? I think the UN has a report submitted on Israel being an Apartheid. I think Nelson Mandela mentioned it. Has Biden & Kamala read it? It's an accusation.
