The Human Rights Violations No One Talks About
(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - International human rights organizations intentionally and systematically ignore violations committed by the Palestinian Authority (PA). A report issued on Jan. 29 by the International Commission to Support Palestinian Rights (ICSPR) found "grave violations and abuses" against Palestinians in the West Bank by the PA and its security forces in 2021. More than 200 Palestinians were arrested by PA security forces because of their political affiliation and for expressing their views in public. Dozens of Palestinian journalists were also targeted. "There is an official [PA] policy to undermine freedom of expression through detentions or attacks on journalists and activists," the report stated.
