The death of Khader Adnan in Israeli detention during a hunger strike on May 2 of this year sparked mourning worldwide and a general strike in occupied Palestine. The 45-year-old Adnan was on his 87th day of hunger strike while serving a sentence for his 12th arrest by the Israeli state at the time of his death. A baker by trade and a father to nine children, Adnan was the first Palestinian to die of hunger strike in an Israeli prison since 1992. As a spokesperson for Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Adnan first captured the world’s attention when he launched a hunger strike from behind bars in 2011, sparking a global wave of solidarity actions. Israel has thus far refused to return the body of Adnan to his mourning widow and children. Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi joins Rattling the Bars to discuss the life, activism, and martyrdom of Khader Adnan, and what his death reveals about the routine abuse of Palestinian prisoners by Israel.
Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi is the founding Director and Senior Scholar of the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Studies Program, and Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies at the College of Ethnic Studies, San Francisco State University. She is also the founder and director of Teaching Palestine: Pedagogical Praxis and the Indivisibility of Justice.

I understand because just last week Orthodox Jews protested a Messianic Jewish Concert, and Messianic Jews believe in Jesus Christ Yeshua Messiah as The Only Messiah Savior Of Humanity. I hope they don't establish Noahide laws in Israel because that would mean that they will classify Christians as idolaters. If they do that then they are being hypocritical because one of those Noahide laws is blasphemy, and if they use that law to falsely accuse Christians as idolaters, and make the penalty death by guillotines, then it not only makes them hypocritical as doing the same thing as radicals of Islamic Jihadist believe, but it also proves to the blind eyes of Orthodox Jews that Bible Prophecy Of Christianity Is Indeed The Absolute Truth! Now Then; there is the truth of all controversy. We will be going home soon enough with Jesus Christ Yeshua Messiah Who Is Coming to settle it All!
I'm sorry to have to tell you, but the people who run the government of Israel are from the same people who were the Sadducees who called to murder Yeshua Messiah Jesus Christ. I mean, they come from the same lines. They are not the real Jews. Also, there were real Jews as far as the DNA in Palestine. Whether you know it or not, Jacob's wife Rachel came from out of where Syria exists geographically. People don't know their history very well. There are Hebrews in Africa for real. The main problems are that people aren't following what their Creator Said to do, which is to love their brethren, and Yeshua Messiah Jesus Christ Acknowledged That As Well because He Is The Word Of God and The Light Of The World.
Some people are cruel to other people, and it makes me cry. I Pray about this to stop. The Lord Says it shall all stop when He Comes. Just because someone is Jewish doesn't mean they are better than anyone else.
Yeshua Messiah Jesus Christ Is The Truth because He Is The Only One Who Is Holy, Holy, Holy without sin. He Is The Only One Who Offers Forgiveness. He Is Coming Back Bringing His Glory, and The Government Shall Rest Upon His Shoulders, and Why? The Reasons Are Many, Yet Simple, and One Of The Reasons Is Because There Won't Be True Peace Throughout This World and This World Will Not Be Truly Free Until Nobody Owns It. That Means Nobody At All Shall Own This World With Only The Exception Of The Lord Himself.
Okay, what are we talking about here on someone who commented on my comment, because I'm not against Palestinians. In fact, I don't take sides on this. There are always to sides to every story. God knows exactly what those sides are all about, and He knows every hair on each individual head, and every grain of sand on all the beaches of Earth. I don't know everything He Does Of Course.
Dr Abdulhadi is amazing and she is absolutely correct, the disgusting settler colonial racist apartheid state of Israel needs to be sanctioned for all it continuous crimes against the Palestinians.
We need to stop supporting Israel. BDS. FREE PALESTINE!
No one has to believe what is being said in this interview. It's simple just travel to Israel/ Palestine and see for yourself. You may be surprised
This man chose death by starving himself.
This is garbage. Hate anti semitism.
Workers and oppressed peoples of the world unite!

The Christians love you. We don't expect anyone to convert to Christianity because The Lord Jesus Christ Yeshua Messiah Said You have free will, and That He Loves Everyone! We don't force people into anything. We just want you to know that we love you.

……………..
THE *WORST*
ANTI-SEMITE
IN THE WORLD
is a Zionist Jew living in Israel.
Why?
Because he is giving
THE JEWS A BAD NAME. A VERY BAD NAME. A *VERY BAD NAME*.
If I were a Jew, I would be AN ORTHODOX JEW. Damning Israel as ANTI-JUDAISM.
His hunger strike was a failed appeal to his actor's humanity.
Occupied Palistine will be free. Greetings from Scotland x â¤
Since palastinians are semite. What does that make israel?
The Israelis have abused the palistinian people for too long, The US and the free world should punish the Israeli government .
Well said!
Thankyou so much for this it means so much #antizionist #freepalestine #bds

great take. yeah the "we made the desert bloom" thing is definitely just a really shitty one-liner example of rhetoric. They are placing concrete walls and cities over ancient olive tree farms. Another example of how the religious will use their mythos to, in words and ideas alone, conceptually claw under reality itself and places itself, a thought virus, between the reader and reality.
O ESTADO DE ISRAEL É NAZISTA E ENVERGONHAM OS NAZISTAS ALEMÃES, E CLARAMENTE OS ESCRAVOCRATAS ANGLO AMERICANOS TAMBÉM O SÃO
Great video
Go away terrorists
Israeli's will never leave Palestinians alone
