I'm cutting back on Xitter, but not retreating.

Much of the reality of life for Palestinian people, in the Occupied Territories and Israel, is hidden from view, under-reported, and even denied and erased.

People should see for themselves. The links provided here open new sources for a deeper view, without the denial.

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@imshin Huda Kattab is an American. Maybe this person has the same name. I don't care.

Some people get permission from the [unelected and unaccountable] Israeli government that rules over them to travel.

Denying the blockade is downright dishonest.

@therealrthorat @yaakovkatz @NickKristof Red Cross is not Hamas. That you can't tell the difference shows how blindered you are by your ethnic hatred.

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@shlomoishe @AdamRFisher The Sde Teiman rape has been widely acknowledged in Israel.

There are volumes of reports chronicling rape by Israelis in prison with sticks, penises, other. Some by Israeli human rights groups.

Denial of atrocities is complicity and is immoral.

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@CTNewsAgency @yaakovkatz @NickKristof Very limited access and they cannot speak to Palestinian prisoners, only Israeli guards.

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@therealrthorat @yaakovkatz @NickKristof Kristof calling out Israeli obstruction and coverup of their sadism and brutality toward prisoners.

Letting the ICRC in to investigate means giving them full access to prisoners. And video. The whole works.

Israel opposes universal human rights.

I appreciate the intense interest in my column. For skeptics, why not agree on Red Cross and lawyer visits for the 9,000 Palestinian "security" prisoners? If you think these abuse allegations are false, such monitoring visits would be protective. So why not?

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@therealrthorat @yaakovkatz @NickKristof Nonsense. There are no Israeli hostages.

ICRC have only recently been allowed to enter the prisons but only to talk to the Israeli guards, the ones being investigated. They are blocked from talking to inmates.

IOW, investigation is not possible.

@brianoflondon Not all Israelis support the ethnic cleansing and territorial expansion of their government.

Sincere thanks and gratitude to @btselem @BtSIsrael and others who speak out against these illegal and immoral actions. Keep it up!

@brianoflondon West Bank is not the Jewish homeland. This is established law. Yet Israel occupies it with military force and openly conducts racist and violent ethnic cleansing of Gentiles.

By doing so, Israel betrays the memory of the Holocaust. Did survivors really yearn to persecute others?

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@therealrthorat @yaakovkatz @NickKristof I suggest you check your notions before making obviously false and deceitful claims. It's hard to respect people who lie so often.

"Since 7 October 2023, the ICRC has not been able to visit any Palestinian detainees in Israeli places of detention."

@brianoflondon Settler violence is very real and well-documented. It's illegal and immoral. And much predated Oct 7th.

If you want peace then stop committing violence against other people. No-one agrees with you that only Israel has a "right" to commit atrocities against humanity.

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@brianoflondon Do you feel the same way about Oct 7th and the Israeli state of war (economic blockade and violence) against Gaza, the settler-led pogroms in the West Bank, and the abductions and imprisonment of Palestinians prior?

Hello? Hello?

Right. A hypocrite with no credibility.

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@yardenas The Israel backing troll who came here, insulted and then blocked me didn't stick around for the proof that Netanyahu and Israel oppose and undermine a two state solution.

So much deceit and hatred undergirds the Israeli positions. How can they stand to repeat it?

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@yardenas So allow investigations. By preventing independent investigations, Israel shows it has something to hide.

And, the claim is that they use dogs to rape prisoners. In addition to objects and prison guards' genitals. Not that they rape dogs.

Dogs have been trained this way before.

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@shlomoishe @AdamRFisher False. You spread an easily disproved lie. Take more effort next time you spread lies.

Unlike you, I support the rule of law and universal rights of due process and justice.

You support ethnic vengeance and lies, not justice.

Bibi calls them "heroes."

@YosefCBrook @DemMaj4Israel @soccerdhg This must be a bot account! Most American Jews vote Democratic.

Israel's belligerent atrocities betray and dishonor Jews and put them in harms way.

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@DemMaj4Israel How much Republican money does DMI funnel into Democratic primaries?

.@DemMaj4Israel does not support universal human rights so feel free to just leave for the Republican Party.

Does DMI even oppose the settler thugs or the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank?

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Democrats have provided reflexive & unconditional support to Netanyahu & Israeli governments, even as they undermined the values we claimed to stand for.

It's time to end taxpayer-funded support & condition arms sales to end the occupation & salvage a 2-state solution.

@shlomoishe @AdamRFisher Israelis applaud their prison guard rapists. Granted, not all, but Israel dropped charges. Raping Palestinians = OK.

For them, rape is only bad when their people are raped. They do not regard Palestinians, or Arabs, as human beings. This is reality.

https://t.co/NjypCzQSdr

[Andy O @Andy_Olsen]

@shlomoishe @AdamRFisher Israel dropped charges against the prison guard rapists, who were vociferously defended. They were applauded

Really, you should read the news rather than deny in ignorance.
