The U.N. secretary-general is warning that famine is spreading in Gaza, and Tel Aviv remains defiantly committed to its distinctly offensive war of collective punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Biden administration is growing more vocal in its public calls for a pause in Israeli military actions, it has also made clear it has imposed no \u201cred lines\u201d over military action. The Netanyahu government maintains it will escalate its attacks in Rafah, even as the White House is calling for Israeli officials to consider a smaller-scale operation to target Hamas fighters and leadership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week on Intercepted, Palestinian human rights lawyer Diana Buttu discusses the disconnect between the rhetoric of Western leaders and the predictable results of their sustained military backing of Israel. Buttu also analyzes the political debates within Palestine and the role of Hamas and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas\u2019s Fatah party, and the thousands of arrests of Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7. She also discusses the significance of Palestinian resistance leader Marwan Barghouti, who is currently serving multiple life terms in an Israeli prison but whose freedom Hamas says it is committed to winning in a future exchange of captives. Barghouti, who is often characterized as Palestine\u2019s Nelson Mandela, was reportedly beaten in prison this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Transcript coming soon. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2024\/03\/20\/intercepted-israel-palestine-human-rights\/\">\u201cWe Have to Start Thinking in Terms of Decolonization\u201d<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/\">The Intercept<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\">This post was originally published on <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2024\/03\/20\/intercepted-israel-palestine-human-rights\/\">The Intercept<\/a>. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palestinian human rights lawyer Diana Buttu on Israel\u2019s ongoing nakba and the fight for freedom from Gaza to the West Bank.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2024\/03\/20\/intercepted-israel-palestine-human-rights\/\">\u201cWe Have to Start Thinking in Terms of Decolonization\u201d<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/\">The Intercept<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":191,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563263"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/191"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1563263"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563263\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1575345,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563263\/revisions\/1575345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1563263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1563263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/radiofree.asia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1563263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
