When Israel could do this to a young American Jew, imagine what Palestinians face every day . Palestinian and international cyclists were brutally attacked by the Israeli occupation forces on Saturday as they attempted to bike up Route 90, the main North-South highway running through the Jordan Valley. The cyclists were demonstrating against Israeli apartheid policies in the Jordan Valley, which limit Palestinian access to roadways as part of an ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing against the indigenous Bedouin communities of the Valley.
Over 1500 activists from 15 countries attempted to fly to Ben Gurion Airport to travel to Bethlehem in the occupied Palestinian territories. They were invited by Palestinian activists to help build a school and protest Israel's control of all access points to the occupied territories. Hundreds were prevented from even boarding their planes and instead staged protests at various airports. Dozens were deported upon arrival while dozens arrested and transferred to Givon prison in central Israel. Israeli activists attempted to hold signs welcoming them at the airport but were immediately arrested and given a 15 day distancing order from the airport. The Real News' Lia Tarachansky reports from the airport.After more than a month on hunger strike, Hanaa Shalabi is in "immediatemortal danger" and at "risk of coma" according to a Physicians for HumanRights doctor.

Both were arrested under Administrative Detention, a military order that allows Israeli authorities to arrest anyone and Israeli Assholes Beat Up a Young American For Speaking The Truthhold them indefinitely, without charge or trial.

Israeli Police prohibited members of a left-wing NGO from exiting a Tel Aviv building on the eve of Israel's Independence Day, according to activists . They claimed the lockdown was meant to prevent them from distributing postcards concerning the displacement of Palestinians during the War of Independence in 1948.
