Israel s arrest of Palestinian lawmaker a farce - Al Jazeera English
Ramallah, occupied West Bank - Yafa Jarrar, 28, says she was surprised when she learned that her mother had been arrested by a large contingent of Israeli soldiers from her home in al-Bireh, a Ramallah-area town in the occupied West Bank.
"It was late at night here in Canada when I heard the news and I couldn't believe it at first, but nothing this occupation does is shocking," she told Al Jazeera.
Her 52-year-old mother, Khalida Jarrar, is an influential female lawmaker and leader in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a leftist organisation considered illegal by Israel. "No one from my family - not my sister, my father or me - has been allowed to speak to her since the arrest," she said. "It has been hard on all of us, especially my father."
Shortly after her arrest, Khalida penned an open letter from jail calling for solidarity with her and other Palestinian political prisoners. "I was kidnapped from my home, from my family, from my husband's side, and from my people. I became deprived of delivering the services to those who elected me," she wrote from behind bars. "I have experienced firsthand the occupation forces' savage and brutal invasion of my house, where they shackled me and kidnapped me to an unknown place."
No wonder you are so full of Palestinian shit, you read from Al Jazeera.
