The Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate has condemned the arrest of a prominent local journalist by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank.

Ali al-Samoudi, who has worked extensively with Western media, was detained during a raid on his son's home in the northern city of Jenin early on Tuesday.

The 58-year-old was interrogated for half an hour at an unknown location and was later transferred to an Israeli hospital due to a deterioration in his health, his son Mohammed said.

The Israeli military said Samoudi was "identified with the [Palestinian] Islamic Jihad terrorist organisation" and "suspected in the transfer of funds" to it, without giving any evidence.

They're a minority, to be sure, but you're right that there are Israelis who were fighting apartheid and continue to fight against the ongoing genocide. We just don't hear about the good people who are resisting evil from within Israel, because that's counter to Zionist rhetoric.

Edit: made it clearer that I'm agreeing with you

Never trust a zionist. There are plenty of anti-zionist "israelis" that are good people.

It's important to recognize the genocidal ideology at the heart of the problem.

Unless they are anti-zionist, like Ilan Pappe, Avi Schlaim, Simha Flapan, Adi Callai, and Offer Cassif to name a few. Definitely a very small minority of Israelis but if they fight against the Zionist project, they are allies

Israel = liar, cheat, sociopath, murderer, class a pile of garbage. Never ever trust an Israeli, except to backstab you and steal from you.
