German authorities removed a one-month-old Palestinian infant from her Syrian mother after acting on a Dutch decision that allegedly classified the child's Palestinian father as "a danger to his family," according to Al Jazeera Net. ￭ The case follows the circulation of footage filmed in the Netherlands on May 19, showing Dutch police throwing Malak Mahmoud, who was nine months pregnant, to the ground and dragging her during the arrest of her husband, Wesam Miqdad. ￭ In an effort to remove the legal basis cited by authorities, Miqdad told Al Jazeera he relocated to Belgium to file a new asylum claim. "I went to Germany to live a normal life with my wife and daughter... All I want is for my daughter Reem to be returned to her mother," he said.

How are New Yorkers reacting to the Israeli occupation’s new death penalty law targeting only Palestinians? VPol contributor and independent journalist Jennifer Koonings asked people in the streets of NYC how they’d react if the US passed a law applying the death penalty to only one race or ethnicity. ￭ The new Israeli law makes the death penalty the default sentence for Palestinian prisoners convicted in military court of "deliberately causing the death of a ​person with the intent of ending Israel's existence." In the wording of the bill, "his sentence shall be death, and this penalty only." Israeli military courts in the West Bank have a 96% conviction rate of Palestinians. ￭ More than 9,600 Palestinian prisoners remain detained in Israeli prisons under brutal and torturous conditions.
