Covid-19 under Apartheid: How Israel Manipulates Suffering of Palestinians

While Israel’s behavior is not entirely surprising, it is consistent with the sordid reality of military occupation and institutional racism, it is also self-defeating.

Covid-19 under Apartheid: How Israel Manipulates Suffering of Palestinians
