OUTRAGE: Israel’s Execution Bill For Palestinian Prisoners Passes

Fronts + Fault Lines, is a new podcast on Palestine Deep Dive developed by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM)

In the wake of Prisoners’ Day and in the shadow of the execution bill they are joined by Dr Nimer Sultany who is a leading scholar of constitutional and comparative law, who has written extensively on Israeli law’s legitimating function, the legal architecture of occupation, and the relationship between law and colonial power.

Jeanine and Nihal from Palestinian Youth Movement discuss with Dr Nimer Sultany how understanding the execution bill requires tracing the legal genealogy of Israeli incarceration back through its British Mandate inheritance; the emergency regulations, the military ordinances, the administrative detention frameworks that Britain constructed across Ireland, India, and Palestine, and which the Israeli state absorbed and expanded after 1948.
