Israeli groups receive testimonies of 22 Palestinian prisoners shot at close range in Israeli detention

JERUSALEM, October 15, 2026 (WAFA) – Two leading Israeli human rights groups revealed on Thursday that they received testimonies of 22 Palestinian prisoners shot at close range in Israeli detention centers, according to Arab News.

Physicians for Human Rights Israel and the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) said that they have documented “22 testimonies and reports from attorneys, prisoners’ families, and released prisoners point to the dangerous practice of firing rubber- or plastic-like bullets at close range inside prison wings.”

The testimonies span seven detention facilities, including Ofer, Ganot, Ktzi’ot, Gilboa, Megido, Nitzan and Eshel.

Torture in Israel Today

Does torture exist in Israel?
It definitely is.
Every year, the public committee against torture in Israel (PCATI) receives dozens of complaints alleging to physical and psychological torture used by ISA (Shabak) interrogators. Torture methods reported include painful shackling, sleep deprivation, exposure to extreme heat or cold, threats, sexual harassment, and religion- based humiliation. In addition, instances of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment by the Israel police and Israel prison service are regularly reported.

Is torture legal?
No.
Torture and cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment are absolutely prohibited, both by international as well as Israeli law. However, Israel has yet to enact a law explicitly prohibiting torture, despite its previous commitment to do so.

Israel bans Arab parties from election: Who they are, why it matters

(September 26, 2026)

Israel’s Central Elections Committee has voted to bar the country’s two main Arab-majority political lists from next month’s parliamentary election, potentially leaving Palestinian citizens of Israel without their principal representatives in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset.

The committee also voted to disqualify Ofer Cassif, a Jewish politician from the Arab-Jewish Hadash party, and Sami Abu Shehadeh, the leader of the Palestinian nationalist Balad party.

The Guardian view on Israel’s death penalty: capital punishment is always wrong. This new law is doubly so

(March 31, 2026)

Execution will be the default for Palestinians found guilty of lethal attacks deemed as terrorist acts in the West Bank’s military courts – which have a conviction rate of around 96%. Amnesty International says that the system routinely relies on evidence extracted through torture and abuse. The death sentence will be imposed even if prosecutors do not seek it. Convictions need no longer be unanimous. There is no possibility of pardon. Executions must take place within 90 days. Within Israeli civilian courts, the new law imposes the death penalty for deliberately killing a person with the intention of “negating the existence of the State of Israel”. Life imprisonment can only substitute in unspecified “special” circumstances.

There could hardly be a more shocking contrast with the near-total impunity of Israelis killing Palestinians in the West Bank, amid increasing – and increasingly systematic – state-backed settler violence.

The Shadow Of The Nomenklatura: Corruption, Elite Privilege, And Eroding Trust In Democratic Strongholds

(June 14, 2026

The final decade of the Soviet Union showed how systemic corruption and elite self-enrichment destroy public faith in a governing system. The nomenklatura—the Communist Party’s privileged bosses—enjoyed dachas, special stores, and luxury while ordinary citizens faced shortages and endless propaganda about equality. Scandals like the Uzbek cotton embezzlement exposed billions diverted through falsified records and bribes. This hypocrisy sped up the CPSU’s moral and practical collapse in 1991.

Meinungsfreiheit: Die Normalisierung des Autoritären

Fast wäre man versucht zu sagen: Was waren das für Zeiten, als Meinungsabweichler nur als „Verschwörungstheoretiker“ öffentlich diffamiert wurden! Im Vergleich zu dem, was heute passiert, waren diese Zeiten geradezu harmlos – könnte man meinen. Doch harmlos waren schon die Übergriffe nur mit Worten nie. Das Feuer war bereits zu sehen.

Und heute? Wer die falsche Meinung vertritt, wird von Medien nach wie vor als „umstritten“ oder als „rechts“ bezeichnet mit dem Ziel: mundtot machen. Zum Schweigen bringen.

Doch längst passiert mehr.

Was wir erleben, hat mit dem Geist der Demokratie nichts mehr zu tun. Vielmehr weht der Wind des Autoritären und zunehmend des Totalitären durch die Republik.

Hans-Eckardt Wenzel: Der schleichende Staatsstreich im Westen

(July 4, 2026)

Ein weiteres zentrales Element ist die systematische Spaltung der Gesellschaft. Während der Pandemie wurde die Bevölkerung in „gehorsam“ und „ungehorsam“ geteilt – eine Spaltung, die bis heute nachwirkt. Dieselbe Technik wird nun auf die Frage nach Krieg und Frieden angewendet. Wer Verhandlungen fordert oder die offizielle Darstellung hinterfragt, riskiert, als „Feindbegünstiger“ oder unzuverlässig eingestuft zu werden.

Das Ergebnis ist ein permanenter Staatsstreich, der sich vor aller Augen abspielt, doch für eine Bevölkerung, die darauf trainiert ist, ihn nicht zu sehen, unsichtbar bleibt. Es gibt eine weit verbreitete Selbstzensur. Viele Menschen schweigen, obwohl sie intern andere Positionen vertreten. Wenzel beschreibt eine Gesellschaft, die gelernt hat, Schweigen mit Stabilität zu verwechseln und Widerstand als größere Gefahr zu betrachten als die bestehenden Zustände.

EU deploys new sanctions on Iran over Hormuz restrictions

“Ministers were clear today that Iran‘s actions are unacceptable,” said Kaja Kallas, high representative for foreign affairs and security policy and vice-president of the European Commission. “In response, EU Member States in Brussels today approved sanctions against the Iranian individuals and entities involved in disrupting transit through the Strait of Hormuz. This is the first time the EU has applied its new freedom of navigation sanctions regime, and where necessary [it] will apply it again.”

The German Government Prevented Me From Speaking About Press Freedom at the European Parliament.

(May 8, 2026)

As some of you might already know, my name is Hüseyin Doğru. I am a German citizen, a father of three, a journalist, and the founder of red., a now defunct English-language media outlet.

On 20 May 2025, I was placed on an EU sanctions list.

Not after a criminal conviction. Not after a trial. Not after a court had examined evidence against me.

I was placed on a list.

The reason given was not violence. It was not incitement. It was not a finding by any court. The reason was political: my journalism, my reporting on Gaza, and my coverage of Palestine solidarity protests in Germany were folded into the language of Russia, destabilisation, information manipulation and hybrid threats.

EU-Sanktionsregime gegen eigene Bürger: Wie Brüssel und Berlin Journalisten ohne Gerichtsurteil vernichten

Alle haben eines gemeinsam: Sie berichten außerhalb des NATO-/EU-Narrativs – sei es zur Ukraine, zu Gaza oder zur Energiepolitik.

Die Folgen für die Betroffenen sind existentiell: Konten werden eingefroren, Zahlungen blockiert, Reisen innerhalb der EU unmöglich gemacht. Sogar Familienangehörige (wie die nicht sanktionierte Ehefrau von Hüseyin Doğru) werden mit „Sanktionsumgehung“ bedroht. Doğru beschreibt seinen Zustand treffend: „On an existential level, you’re reduced to zero.“ Ein Vater von fünf Kindern kann nicht einmal mehr Windeln oder Medikamente kaufen, ohne dass Helfer Gefahr laufen, selbst strafrechtlich verfolgt zu werden.

The legal picture is also complicated. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, bordering states cannot demand payment simply for granting passage through a strait. They may, however, impose limited charges for specific services, such as piloting, tugging, or port assistance, provided these are not applied more heavily against vessels from any particular country.

What Israelis can learn from the nightmares of an Iranian hangman

(April 9, 2026)

Still, compared to their Iranian counterparts, Israel’s far-right lawmakers have a long way to go. The list of offenses warranting a death sentence in Iran is dizzying in its scope, including burglary, prostitution, drug trafficking, homosexuality, political dissidence, adultery, and “waging war against God.”

Under Israel’s new law, executions are to be carried out by hanging at a facility managed by the Israel Prison Service. How dull. Here, too, Ben Gvir can take inspiration from the Islamic Republic. What about a public hanging in the town square? Entertainment for the masses is not something to scoff at in these difficult times, and it’s free of charge.

And why restrict himself to only one method? The Islamic Republic has also carried out executions by firing squad, stoning, and pushing people off a cliff. Would stoning not serve as a fitting tribute to Ben Gvir’s professed commitment to Jewish tradition?

Taktik des Terrorkrieges: Wahrnehmungs-Management, Verwirrung, gelenkte Querfront

(7. Juni 2017)

Ohne auf alle in der Dokumentation dargestellten Entwicklungen und Hintergründe einzugehen, beleuchtet diese u.a. die jahrzehntelange Taktik des „Wahrnehmungs-Managements“ (perception management), die Manipulation der Öffentlichen Meinung, die Lenkung vermeintlich verfeindeter oder sich gegenseitig bekriegender Gruppen durch die gleiche Hand (befördert durch die Unfähigkeit zu dreidimensionalem Verständnis von Politik, links vs rechts, progressiv vs reaktionär, oben vs unten) die gezielte Konfusion jedweder Opposition und die permanente Formwandlung der Macht und der Mächtigen, um sie nicht greifbar und damit unangreifbar erscheinen zu lassen.

Die untenstehenden und in der Dokumentation über die Jahrzehnte genannten Beispiele sind im Zuge der Entwicklung von informationstechnischer Technologie, weltweitem Einsickern von kapitalistischen (Denk)Strukturen und deren Verschmelzung („Globalisierung“), sowie Terrorkrieg in den letzten bald sechzehn Jahren praktisch auf jedes Land bzw jede Region übertragbar.

Statement by Israeli International Law Scholars Concerning Israel’s New “Death Penalty for Terrorists” Law

(March 31, 2026)

1. The undersigned, scholars of international law in Israeli academic institutions, wish to express our outrage and clear condemnation of Israel’s new death penalty law. It is not only immoral and in violation of the most basic dictates of public conscience, but is also unlawful both in terms of domestic constitutional law and Israel’s obligations under international law.

2. Israel is a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights from 1966. Under the Covenant it is prohibited to reintroduce the death penalty once abolished – a prohibition which includes, according to the Human Rights Committee’s General Comment 36 (2018), a ban on extending the list of crimes to which the death penalty applies or relaxing associated procedural safeguards, even for states that have not formally abolished the death penalty. As long as the death penalty is applicable, legal proceedings relating to its imposition must meet all due process safeguards, including the right to seek commutation of the death sentence. The right to commutation is also guaranteed in the Fourth Geneva Convention from 1949. Furthermore, under the Covenant, States must act towards abolition of the death penalty, and in no case may the death penalty be imposed in a discriminatory manner.
