A RACE, NOT A RELIGION:
Its coronavirus response provides more evidence of Israel's racism (Motasem A Dalloul, March 25, 2020, MEMO)
[O]n 20 March, the Times of Israel reported that Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan had decided to release 500 Israeli prisoners into house arrest in an effort to reduce the risk of a coronavirus outbreak in the country's prisons. Erdan apparently accepted the recommendation of acting Israel Prison Service chief Asher Vaknin. Not a single one of the 5,000 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel -- including 180 children, 43 women and 430 detained with neither charge nor trial --is being released, though, not even those with critical health conditions.
