"Decades of experience have proved that Israel’s inhumane system of colonial and military occupation aims to break the spirit of prisoners and the nation to which they belong, by inflicting suffering on their bodies, separating them from their families and communities, using humiliating measures to compel subjugation," he writes.*
In the piece, Barghouti relays a number of personal stories about his run-ins with Israeli authorities and the subsequent imprisonments he has endured. He doesn't mention the crimes for which he was convicted, claiming that "an Israeli court sentenced me to five life sentences and 40 years in prison in a political show trial that was denounced by international observers."
Like South Africa, the neoZionist regime will collapse under the sheer weight of its own criminality.
