Youth Center
<<Israel's mass detention of Palestinians is aimed to break our spirit
But my own imprisonment without charge has made me more resilient.
On November 28, Israeli soldiers stopped my car at the Jaba checkpoint
in the occupied West Bank and kidnapped me. I spent the following 253
days in detention without charge, without ever being told why this was
happening to me. That morning, I didn't want to leave the house because
my wife and my three-month-old son were suffering from the flu, but I
could not postpone an English language exam I had to take as part of my
application for an MA programme at a British university. As I was making
my way back, I called my wife to tell her that I was coming home and
bringing food. I could hear the sound of my son crying in the
background. His cries stayed in my head for the next eight months. At
the checkpoint, the Israeli soldiers took me out of the car, handcuffed
me, blindfolded me and made me kneel for five hours inside a military
camp. I was moved from camp to camp until I was eventually transferred
to a detention centre in an illegal Jewish settlement in Hebron. I was
not permitted any contact with a lawyer or my family, despite my
constant requests. It was only after two months of detention that I was
finally able to speak with a lawyer and learned there were no charges
against me. I was under administrative detention - a legal measure
applied to the Palestinian population that allows the Israeli occupation
forces to arbitrarily detain whoever they want. This measure has been
used heavily since October 7, 2023, as yet another means of collectively
punishing Palestinians. As of this month, more than 3,300 Palestinians
are still being held in Israeli prisons without trial or charges.
As an administrative detainee, I - like the rest of the 10,000
Palestinian political prisoners - experienced inhumane prison conditions
designed to cause maximum suffering. For over eight months, I was
starved, humiliated, insulted and beaten by Israeli forces. I was held
with 11 other detainees in a small concrete cell meant for five. It felt
like we were being suffocated alive, like we were being kept in a mass
grave. It was hell on Earth.
The guards would walk around with heavy protective gear, beating us
regularly with sticks, hands and feet. They would unleash large police
dogs to terrorise us. They would bang their batons nonstop on the metal
bars of the cells or other metal objects, not giving us a moment of
peace. They would insult us constantly, cursing the women in our lives,
degrading our mothers, sisters, daughters and wives, and referring to
the detainees as subhuman. They would also insult and degrade national
symbols like Palestinian leaders, slogans and our flag, trying to
degrade our very identity as Palestinians. We had no privacy, except for
the brief moment we were allowed to use the toilet and we were not
permitted to shave for the first six months. The amount of food provided
was less than what is necessary for an adult to stay alive. I lost more
than 20 kilogrammes while in detention.
We were watching our bodies change, kept isolated from the world without
even knowing why we were there. The only way we got any news was from
the new detainees constantly being brought in. This isolation was part
of the psychological torture. If I could hardly recognise myself, how
would I recognise my son when I get out, I wondered. I kept imagining
him growing, meeting milestones without me being there to support him
and hold him. I also worried for my elderly father, who was ill and who
I had been caring for over the last few years. I kept wondering who was
taking care of him when he had seizures, and whether he was being taken
to his hospital appointments. During the time I spent in Israeli prison,
it became clear to me that the Israelis use detention to try to break
us, so when they release us - if they ever do - we are a shell of who we
were, humiliated and broken. The release of detainees who hardly look
like themselves any more, starved and unshaven, suffering from physical
illnesses and psychological disorders, is meant to serve as a message to
the rest of the Palestinian population, to break their will, resilience,
and hopes for liberation, a dignified life and a bright future. But this
sinister strategy is meeting resistance. Crowded into our concrete
cells, we would still find something to smile about. Smiles were our
weapon against the Israeli guards' brutality. Hope was our shield.
Thinking of my baby boy gave me hope. I imagined reuniting with him and
looking into his eyes. When I was released and called my wife, and the
camera was pointed at my son, I couldn’t control myself and tears began
to flow. I kept repeating, "I am your baba, I am your baba." The moment
I came home and saw my son was one of the most beautiful moments of my
life. I embraced him and looked at him, examining his eyes, his mouth,
his hair, his feet. I was trying to memorise every detail quickly, to
correct the image I had created of him in my mind over the previous 253
days. He surpassed the most beautiful image I had drawn of him in my
head. Israel tried to break me and destroy my spirit, but I emerged from
this difficult experience tougher and stronger. My imprisonment is a
wound that will remain with me, but it will not halt my mission in life.
Before I was detained, I had been working as the executive director of
Aida Youth Center for five years. This organisation has provided
essential support to the residents of Aida refugee camp near Bethlehem
for years. The children and youth have benefitted from our education
programme and music and sports classes, while the community at large has
received humanitarian and medical aid during crises. Now I am back at
the centre and as a parent and a community leader, I am more determined
than ever to continue working with Palestinian children and youth to
make sure they realise their potential and build a brighter future.
I know that the persecution of the Palestinian people, particularly our
youth, aims to radicalise them, deprive them of their rights and hope
for a dignified prosperous life. I believe that working with young
people, giving them guidance, encouraging them to develop themselves and
to be active members of society can counter this brutal Israeli strategy
and help build the Palestine that I dream of. Having experienced the
horrors of the occupation and now being a father of a one-year-old, who
is making his first steps and speaking his first words, I am more
determined than ever to make sure he has a better future. To make sure
he never suffers the fate of Palestinian political prisoners being held
by Israel just because of their Palestinian identity. To make sure that
he has the opportunity to grow up hopeful, resilient and proud. That is
what I will keep fighting for.
