Authorities crush dissent in “palestine”

[MartyNYC]

Welcome To “Palestine”! The Fatah-led Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas authorities in Gaza routinely arrest and torture peaceful critics and opponents, according to Human Rights Watch. As the Palestinian Authority-Hamas feud has deepened, each has targeted the other’s supporters. Human Rights Watch detailed more than two dozen cases of people detained for no clear reason beyond writing a critical article or Facebook post or belonging to the wrong student group or political movement.
