This book reveals the role played by identity documents in Israel's
apartheid policies towards the Palestinians, from the red passes of
the 1950s to the orange, green and blue passes of today. The
authors chronicle how millions of Palestinians have been
denationalised through the bureaucratic tools of census, population
registration, blacklisting and a discriminatory legal framework.
They show how identity documents are used by Israel as a means of
coercion, extortion, humiliation and informant recruitment.
Movement restrictions tied to IDs and population registers threaten
Palestinian livelihoods, freedom of movement and access to basic
services such as health and education. Unfree in Palestine is a
masterful expose of the web of bureaucracy used by Israel to
deprive the Palestinians of basic rights and freedoms, and calls
for international justice and inclusive security in place of
discrimination and division.
Stolen Youth is the first book to explore Israel's incarceration of
Palestinian children. Based on first-hand information from
international human rights groups and NGO workers in the West Bank
and Gaza Strip, it also features interviews with children who have
been imprisoned. The result is a disturbing and often shocking
account of the abuses that are being carried out by Israel, and
that have been widely documented by human rights groups such as
Amnesty, but yet have never been addressed by the international
community. The book presents a critical analysis of the
international legal framework and the UN system, arguing that a
major failure of these instuitutions is their appeal to neutrality
while ignoring the reality of power.;The book attempts to address
the inadequacy of these institutions by placing the issue of
Palestinian child prisoners within the framework of Israeli
strategy and the overall system of control. The book is divided
into three main sections: the first chapters introduce the major
issues, and propose a framework for understanding Israel's policy
towards Palestinian detainees, particularly children. The second
section examines the actual experience of children
