Internment without charge is
Internment without charge is a relic of the British 'administration' of Palestine. I hope he will be able to return to his family, sadly, given the record of the Zionists, I would not be over optimistic.
It is a crime to hold a prisoner without a fair and just trial.
The Zionists based in the USA are trying to convince the world that Israel is a democratic and civilised state. They are happy to let this man die, rather that face the truth. But the world see's it all. My comment is simply this "all it takes is for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing".
No good
This is a crime.
Democracy?
For whom?
