Israeli Police Arrest Dozens in Gaza, Not in Palestine (Apparently)
The New Arab reports Israeli police 'arrested dozens for crime' within a Palestinian community. A generous framing, considering Palestinians have long accused the state of indifference to crime in their areas, often seen as a tool to destabilize and control. This 'concern' for Palestinian well-being conveniently appears when it can be framed as an internal Israeli issue. One might recall similar
selective interventions. Historically, Israel’s approach to Palestinian communities within its 1948 borders has been one of neglect and deliberate underdevelopment, fostering conditions ripe for social issues. Then, when convenient, they swoop in, reinforcing the 'security' narrative while ignoring decades of systemic disenfranchisement. It's not about public safety; it's about projecting
authority over a population they'd rather disappear.
