We Are All Khadr Adnan: Epitomizing The
Palestinian People's Struggle For Justice And Freedom
23 Feb 2012By Khalid Amayreh
Like numerous other Palestinians, Khadr Adnan
epitomizes the Palestinian people's struggle for
justice and freedom from the virulently evil Zionist
regime that is constantly seeking to emulate and
perfect every Nazi crime committed by the Third Reich.
Adnan has been on hunger strike for 64 days and there
are real fears that his seriously debilitated body
might succumb to death at any moment. According to his
wife who visited him a few days ago, he lost as much
as half his body weight. His spirit is high but his
body is dying, she said.
Adnan is not trying to commit suicide or imitate
famous hunger-strikers and fighters for freedom, such
as the Irish activist Bobby Sand, who maintained an
extended hunger strike lasting for.
The Palestinian Bobby Sand (we say this hoping that he
will live and triumph over his tormentors) is
protesting the notoriously evil chapter in the Israeli
book of occupation: the haphazard imprisonment of
Palestinian activists for months and years without
charge or trial.
This open-ended captivity, which has targeted
thousands of Palestinians, is a sword of terror drawn
against Palestinians who peacefully and innocuously
resist the Israeli occupiers of their country and
persecutors of their people.
It represents one of the most sinister and scandalous
forms of oppression meted out to a helpless people
languishing under the military occupation of an evil
but powerful state, backed by even more powerful
states, especially in the West where guilty conscience
over the holocaust and centuries of Christian
anti-Semitism made Europe and North America resort to
silence and acquiescence over Israel's Nazi-like
treatment the Palestinian people.
In a certain sense, Khadr Adnan is treading on a
sensitive nerve as far as Palestinian suffering is
concerned. This explains the massive solidarity with
him and his family. The people, in cities, villages,
and refugee camps, both at home and in the Diaspora,
are identifying with him because he is echoing and
reflecting their own grievances and sense of justice.
His helplessness echoes the people's helplessness in
the face of a callous-minded racist regime which
thinks that the lives of non-Jews are expendable and
have no sanctity. But his moral courage, heroism and
exemplary willingness to sacrifice his own soul for
the freedom of his people also echoes the resilience
and enduring vigor of his people who have survived
many decades of Nazi-like oppression and plots to make
it vanish from the face of earth.
I don't know for sure if Khadr Adnan will survive this
macabre struggle against his powerful and inhumane
Jewish tormentors. However, experience taught us the
hard way not to entrust Israeli sadism and
cannibalistic instincts to uphold human values and
ideals.
When trying to justify this form of pornographic
justice, Israeli spokespersons and officials would
claim that people like Adnan are "terrorists." Terror
is the eternal but mendacious mantra the emulators of
the Nazis usually invoke in order to justify their
evil behavior.
Well, if he were indeed a terrorist, why wouldn't they
prosecute him before a respectable court of law?
The truth, however, is that Khadr and the numerous
other Palestinians who are punished with
administrative detention are actually innocent people.
Such people wouldn't be arrested or jailed for a
single day in any truly democratic country because a
person is innocent until proven guilty.
But Israel is not a truly democratic country,
especially for millions of non-Jewish citizens and
subjects, often viewed by Talmudic Judaism as
sub-humans or as water carriers and wood hewers.
Let no person think that we are indulging in
hyperboles and exaggerations. There is no justice for
non-Jews in Israel and the occupied territories,
regardless of the unending babbling and barking coming
from the shipyard dogs of Jewish hasbara and pliant
media in Europe and North America . Besides, has
anyone heard of a person in Britain or France or
Germany imprisoned without charge or trial for more
than ten years as is the case in Israel ?
Open-ended captivity outside the rule of law is the
worst kind of incarceration that one can think of
because the victim doesn't know why he or she is being
in jail away from his family, or when he or she will
be released, or indeed, whether they will be
rearrested as soon as they are released.
The Israeli intelligence is notorious for its misuse
and abuse of its authority, especially in dealing with
Palestinians. This happens with the knowledge,
acquiescence and connivance of Israel 's judicial
system, now infiltrated by hard-core Talmudic racists
who don't attach any human dignity to non-Jews.
For example, the prison authorities would try to
maximize a prisoner's mental pain and anguish by
telling the prisoner that he is about to be released
and that he could leave the prison after finishing due
procedures. However, as the prisoner leaves the outer
gate of the prison compound, a new arrest order is
issued against him and he is returned rather
unceremoniously to his prison cell.
This inhumane behavior is done with many prisoners so
much so that prisoners have invented ways and
exercises to prepare themselves mentally to face the
worst scenarios once they are told they would be
released.
In other instants, a prisoner who is released to his
home, say after spending six or seven years of
imprisonment without charge or trial, is rearrested a
few days later for the purpose of spoiling the
feelings of his family.
This happened recently with Ayed Dudin, a staff nurse
who hails from a village near Hebron , who was
brutally rearrested only a few days after he was
released from a six-year administrative detention.
I met Dudin shortly after his release and he told me
that had the Europeans and Americans known about the
joke of the rule of law in Israel , they probably
would have changed their minds about Israel .
I didn't agree with him. I argued that it was unlikely
that they didn't know. They knew well that Israel was
a racist and criminal country from head to toe but
they didn't have the political will or moral courage
to call the spade a spade.
Once again, the policy of administrative detention is
not an anomaly in Israel and the occupied Palestinian
territories. It has become an established
extrajudicial policy aimed at tormenting and
persecuting mainly Palestinian activists and leaders.
This policy stands out as symptomatic of a criminal
occupation regime seeking the expulsion of the native
Palestinians from their ancestral homeland.
Israel realizes that it can't just put six million
Palestinians on buses or trucks and deport them to the
desert. Hence, the sleek way to get the Palestinians
to leave their land, in order to make room for the
Master Race or Chosen People is by making their daily
life unbearable so much so that they will be forced to
leave on their own volition.
We are essentially talking about the same tactics used
against Jews in various parts of Europe for the
purpose of driving them away. As to why Jews are
employing virtually the same tactics (once used
against them) against the helpless Palestinians is a
question for Jews to dote upon.
One of the main axioms that law students everywhere,
including Israel , are taught is that a person is
innocent until proven guilty. However, the same law
students and their professors realize too well that
this is not the way Israel is treating millions of
Palestinians whose only "guilt" is being their
non-membership in the exclusively Jewish tribal club.
It is probably futile and too late to appeal to a
Zionist sense of justice. Those people can't be
imagined to possess a sense of Justice; otherwise they
wouldn't be doing what they are doing.
This is why, the elimination of this nefarious regime
must be a strategic priority not only for the
Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims and their friends
around the globe, but for the entire humanity as well.
Israel can't be reformed, corrected and made more
just. It will have to be obliterated and replaced by a
just and morally-guided regime.(end)
