Ramallah, December 21 (RHC)-- Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank have declared a one-day general strike to mourn the death of prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid.  

The 49-year-old Palestinian had been held in an Israeli prison since his arrest in 2002 for his involvement in an armed wing of the ruling Fatah party.  He was diagnosed from prison with late-stage lung cancer in August 2021. 

His family says Israeli prison authorities ignored his medical complaints for months, leading him to die of medical neglect.  Human rights groups say dozens of other Palestinian prisoners have died of preventable illnesses due to a lack of routine health checks.

    More Israeli crimes, made possible by involuntary support by US taxpayers of the apartheid Israel. The 2023 US federal budget mentions Israel 47 times, always in the positive sense (e.g., almost $4 billion goes to Israel), and Palestine only twice and Palestinian 31 times, always in the negative sense (i.e., Israel is the good guy and Palestine and the Palestinians are the bad guy). The US federal government budget could have been written in Tel Aviv (and probably was). The situation in Palestine will not improve until Washington, DC, is liberated from the Zionists.
