Three Years since the Unity Uprising with Adalah Attorneys #22

Adalah Podcast عداله بودكاست

Three years ago, in May 2021, thousands of Palestinians led a mass popular uprising, known as "The Unity Uprising", across Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and inside Israel, sparked by Israel’s escalating colonial policies in Jerusalem. Within Israel, protests in multiple Palestinian towns were suppressed by police and special units using militarized means. In Episode 22 of Adalah’s podcast, Adalah Attorneys Nareman Shehadeh-Zoabi and Adi Mansour discuss the role of the criminal legal system and law enforcement during the May 2021 events, the arming of Jewish Israeli civilians and “civilian” militias and the threat this creates for Palestinians, and how security trends that emerged then are shaping Israel’s current crackdown on Palestinian citizens during its assault on Gaza.
