Tomorrow marks Palestinian Prisoners’ Day, as nearly 12,000 Palestinian prisoners and hostages—men, women, and children—languish in Israeli jails. The world barely mentions them, despite torture, killings, and the degradation of their dignity. Do not let this day pass without https://t.co/wJZEKT0Dhz
