The Mandela parallel is potent precisely because it exposes the limits of carceral power when imprisoning a figure whose legitimacy eclipses the authority of his captors. Your observation that Israel faces an impossible choice, kill or release, captures the bind of regimes that mistake containment for victory. Barghouti's 23 years of imprisonment haven't diminished his political stature but amplified it, transforming detention into a kind of inadvertent legitimation. The question isn't wheather he becomes a global symbol but whether Israeli policy can survive his symbolic asendance.

Very well written as always Mr. Hazim. I hope Marwan can be freed iA, I had no idea of his stature and significance as the equivalent of Nelson Mandela for the Palestinian people. And you

're right, the genocidal occupiers must truly fear what he represents and is capable of to have wrongfully imprisoned him for over 2 decades and counting at this point, not to mention the physical and psychological torture they have inflicted upon him. May their narrative continue to crumble and fade away, and may the true owners of the land gain their freedom and land back from the genocidal occupying settler colony

Australia needs to expel the Israeli Ambassador, over night their are reports of even more torture, where Marwan has been beaten severely.

All these reports do something but not enough. It has been two+ years and there have been upteen reports but honestly where is the real action that stops Israeli nonsense , and let the Palestinians themselves decide who governs them.

As Omar El Akkad's book title says "One day, Everyone will have always been against this"

Words are one thing

Actions are another

Israel needs to be severely sanctioned, but governments are still arming, supporting Israel and reframing "genocide", silencing voices.

This murdering, by Israel, in Palestine, needs to stop. Palestinians need food and aid...

His "legitimacy eclipses the authority of his captors." That says it well. You also point out that Israel has a dilemma and can easily make a Mandela of Barghouti.

Watch if you can, "No Other Land", a film which featured in the best foreign film category at last year's Oscars. That's when his name first came up for me and shows how settlers harass Palestinians in Masafer Yatta.

In the US, Barghouti would already have "committed suicide." The sadistic Zionists cannot forego the perverse pleasure they derive in torturing this man (and so many others), so they keep him alive.

<< Aung San Suu Kyi in her earlier years >>

As usual, you are absolutely correct. "In her earlier years" she belonged with the others (i.e., Mandela, Barghouti, et al.). In recent years, alas, she does not seem to be the same person...

I've long wondered, and still do, why the world has so long been fooled by Israeli propaganda. Fifty years ago I started noticing there was something not quite right about "Peace Loving" Israel, if there was so many wars around it and it was always on the winning side but claimed victimhood, a death took land every time, that claim is only good for so long when you are boasting about superior weapons.

Now the world has seen how seriously sick they are as the find out more about the tortures and rapes on prisoners without charges, plus the constant land theft.

Satanyahu has shown his mental derangement by threatening "to burn the country" if he doesn't get a pardon, either that or he has one huge ego that needs bringing down to size.

I hope Barghouti is set free andcan lead the whole of Palestine to self rule and be rid of israhell for ever.

agreed Davina, I hope marwan is freed too and the genocidal occupiers and their illegal colonization can be at an end. The propaganda was reinforced repeatedly by the media, and I believe that had something to do with so many being taken in by that lie.

Very well said George. Palestine Will Be Free on Substack 5 December has a grim update on the condition of 66 year old Marwan Barghouti reported by his son Qassam.

Almighty God bless the freedom fighters like Marwan Barhouti. I've been following and exposing this Satanic cultist demonic race of evil creatures a ong time. Zionism is pure Satanism. They are the children of the devil. These demons are not human, although they look human to us, they are not of this world. They are Archons, Reptilians, they feed on death, misery, pain and suffering. Watch this video of rabbi Michael Laitman educating his Israeli people in a class in Israel. Jewish Rabbi admits that Jews are aliens who are here to "conquer" Earth

Search and read but DO NOT USE GOOGLE, Google is completely Zionist corrupted, instead use search engine https://www.DuckDuckGo.com, The Protocol of the Learned Elders of Zion. It all fit in together. I posted an article on this sbject recently. They are not humans...

Listen to David Icke, author, speaker and revolutionary renegade activist who has been at the forefront of what has been gloing on in our illusionary 3D world for 36 years. He exposes the hidden interdimensional 4th dimension demons known as Archons and reptilians who dominate our dark world through the fallen angels bloodlines known as the Illuminati.

Thanks

Thanks for this article George. I had not heard of Barghouti before this.

I also like the word Satanyahu, as used by Davina here. Most accurate a description of the man.
