There's no one who can talk to him or any accountability.
And I think this is very important because, yes, my father does support the two-state solution.
But I think what's more important is ending the apartheid and ending the Israeli occupation, because we can't talk about like the end solution if it's one state, two state, whatever.
But at the same time, the Palestinian freedom and living with dignity, living in our own land, our ancestors land is the most important question and the most important objective that we all go after.
Yes, I have no doubt.
I've always dreamt of the day that I will hug my father and I will do whatever it takes.
And the most important person in our family, according to my father, is my mother.
She's the one who founded the campaign to release him.
She's the one who fought for Palestinian political prisoners overall.
And seeing her being driven by her amazing efforts for his release is what drives me.
And I had no doubt in my mind that we will be reunited with my father in Palestine.
We will get back to our home.
He will meet his six grandchildren that he's never met before.
And to compensate to my mother when he promised her more than 40 years ago that once Palestine is free, I promise you that we will live a normal life.
And that's exactly what we're working for.
Papa on vihreä vihreä.
April 12, the lawyer was finally able to see my father after months, and we learned about very disturbing news. On March 24, the Israeli prison authority in Majidda prison, they went to him and they put him on the ground in his cell. They had a dog come and start kicking him with his paws, and that was the first assault.
The second one was moving him from Majiddo to Ganot prison on March 25th. And a Nahshon unit, which is responsible for transporting the prisoners and known for being the most vicious, attacked him and they assaulted him on the way. And then on April 8th, they came to him in Ganot prison, in his cell. They started beating him up. He started bleeding for two hours, calling for medical treatment, but no one gave him any medical treatment.
Let them get humanitarian organizations, international lawyers. Let them send anyone if they're claiming that they're baseless. Why do they prevent them from seeing anyone? They claim that all cases of systematic abuse on their part are baseless and that any individual misconduct is always investigated. That's laughable for me. They have killed more than 100 Palestinian political prisoners only in the last two years. From your point of view, why is your father in prison? Why do you think he's locked up?
Koska he eivät halua palestiinalaisen suunnitelman, joka on arvostettu koko maailmassa. He eivät halua joku, joka on mahdollista yhdistää palestiinalaisen ihmisen poliittisen näkökulmasta. Ja koska hän tuottaa kaksi valtion ratkaisua. Esimerkiksi hän oli vahvistunut 26 vahvistuksen ja yrittäminen vahvistuksen, jotka olivat vahvistuneita ryhmästä, jonka hän johti.
