In August 2022, the Israeli Defense Forces conducted dawn raids on the offices of seven Palestinian human rights NGOs. The targeted organizations included groups working to support Palestinian women and children, as well as political prisoners. The Israeli government justified shutting down the organizations under the pretext that they were fronts for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The organizations have rigorously denied the allegations, and vowed to continue their work in spite of Israeli repression. Sahar Francis, general director of the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, joins The Marc Steiner Show to explain why these organizations have come into the crosshairs of the Israeli government. Francis explains that a key motivation for the raids was the work of her and other organizations to advance investigations for Israel’s crimes through the UN and International Criminal Court. In order to consolidate the occupation and complete the annexation of Palestine, the Israeli government must target and destroy any resistance. While Francis denies the allegations of Addameer’s connections to the PFLP, she points out that the PFLP is not considered a terrorist organization under international law due to the special circumstance of Palestine as an occupied territory.
Since 2006, Sahar Francis has been the general director of Ramallah-based Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, a Palestinian NGO providing legal and advocacy support to Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli and Palestinian prisons.

That’s a lot of nerve of Israeli going into Palestine to do a raid. So sad the Palestinian can’t really defend themselves because then it will get worse 😢
What’s worse that many more ppl can get ignorant with it and start to hate all Jews.
Why do the Jewish government allow this? Why don’t the president of Israel put a stop to it? 😣
Thats F up 🤦🏽♀️
So I want to know. It’s the United States still using our tax money to send weapons to Israel with their fight against Palestinian?
Thank you, Marc!!!!
I support Palestine and my life is being cut off as a result, will answer questions…
The self hate is strong in this one
U.S. forward base Israel.
The world is just a mess. NO CARE FOR OTHERS FOR THOSE UNDER Oppression because of greed by the powers of governments of land , resources . HUMAN BEINGS MATTER. ONE LIFE MATTERS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A FAMILY AND LIVE. Prayers for Palestinian peoples, all countries whose lives are being effected by having to run or even drown to get to a safe place to find work and get away from these stupid wars. THE MURDER OF A SOCIETY AND GIVE NO ONE A CHANCE TO LIVE. The hatred of these evil powers and leaders in all of this, including America it is a disgrace. WHAT CAN ONE DO? CENTURIES OF DIVISONS OF religion and greed. IT STOPS INSIDE OF YOU. Compassion and people that care understand what we are up against as this world falls apart everyday. We have to keep up those with hope and take right actions with a moral compass. THESE PLUTARCHS, OLIGARCHY, AUTHORITARIANISM, Kleptocracy, Nationalism, banks, International monetary fund, Nato, Fasicm, democracy-Where is that at? AMERICA HAS A REPUBLIC WITH DEMOCRATIC IDEAS. Our constitution was set up by men that owned property. CAPITALISM IS THE PROBLEM, JUST TELL THE TRUTH. AFFECTIONATELY ❤️ Much- needed love to our world. THANK YOU SIR, FOR YOU HAVING THIS DISCUSSION. WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS NO MATTER WHAT RACE OR RELIGION. NEW IDEAS 💡. it will not be an easy one. CORPORATE POWERS RUN THE SHOW FOR PROFITS. The military complex, war Contracters making money. ❤️ FREE ASSANNGE.
#BDS FOREVER
Thanks very much, That was great.
Don't worry, the next generation is NOT like the brainwashed baby boomers. This LACK of JUSTICE will be addressed when the boomers are GONE.
Even scrolling down the comments section is limited on this video, suppression is crazy on YT anytime anyone talks about Israel's Aparthied Government.
And once again satan cons the gullible. Palestine is a criminal organization. No reason for it to exist. Never has been. Antisemitism is a horrible thing. Peace is a simple thing. First step, be peaceful. Second step stop hating your neighbor because the truth upsets you. Instead, change yourself.
If you could cover the Kashmiris in Indian occupied Kashmir and the Yemenis suffering Saudi bombing that is fully supported by the United States.
Thank you for providing a platform for the oppressed and persecuted people of palestine. May you be blessed.
Well, we had to rocket bomb the whole village…. Those kids threw rocks…
I hope you will use your platform to get support, to bring an end to this bullying/injustice, that has been going on long enough, the US and British governments are a disgrace, as they quite often falsely accuse nations that they don’t like of human rights abuses, but in Palestine when its staring them in the face, their silence shows support, they can easily stop this by putting sanctions on the Israelis, instead of turning a blind eye to all the human rights abuses, that has constantly being carried out for decades.
The IDF are the new Third Reich.
They often ask how Hitler got away with concentration camps pre 1940 ? My answer is simple as we see it practised to day in modern Israel and the Corperate media is silent even in the face of 2000 un armed protesters shot by IDF in 2021! Mass arrest jailing tortured by Israel silence from the USA
When the so called free world leader support injustice then wait for the fall!
Never underestimate the evilness of Zionism.
