The World Must Not Remain Silent While Palestinian Political Prisoners Are Imprisoned And Mistreated.
The Story Of Marwan Barghouti And Other Palestinian Prisoners Raises A Profound Human Rights Question: How Can There Be A Just Peace While Political Leaders And Prisoners Remain Behind Bars, Separated From Their Families For Years?
Arab Barghouti Has Described The Pain Of Being Unable To See Or Speak With His Father And Of Being Separated From Him For Years. Such Separation Is Not Merely Political. It Is A Human Tragedy Affecting Families, Children, And Parents. Reports Have Also Raised Serious Concerns About Barghouti’s Treatment In Prison.
At The Same Time, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Was Again Denied A U.S. Visa To Attend The United Nations General Assembly In Person. He Was Instead Permitted To Address The Assembly By Video.
The World Must Demand Transparency, Due Process, Humane Treatment Of Prisoners, Family Contact, And Accountability For Any Abuse. Human Rights Cannot Depend On Nationality Or Political Power. Every Prisoner Has A Human Face, And Every Family Deserves Dignity.
There Will Be Accountability At The End Of Life When Those Who Violate God’s Divine Laws Must Answer For Their Actions. No Power, Wealth, Office, Or Military Strength Can Provide An Escape From Moral Accountability. History Has Shown The Horrors That Can Result When Human Beings Treat Other Lives As Worthless.
Hitler’s Genocide Against The Jewish People Stands Among History’s Most Horrific Crimes. Today, Palestinians Are Enduring What Human Rights Organizations And Others Describe As Grave Abuses And Devastating Mass Suffering. Those Responsible For Violating Human Rights Must Remember That Political Power Does Not Place Anyone Above Moral Law.
The Scriptures Teach That There Is Accountability For Injustice. Those Who Believe Otherwise Should Remember: Human Courts May Fail, But God’s Judgment Cannot Be Evaded.
