These Chains Will Be Broken: Palestinian Stories of Struggle and Defiance in Israeli Prisons
Since 1967, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been imprisoned by Israel, yet their voices are rarely heard. Western media depicts them as “terrorists,” while human rights narratives often cast them as helpless victims.
These Chains Will Be Broken challenges both views through firsthand testimonies that center Palestinian humanity, resilience, and political agency. Rather than cataloging abuses, the stories reveal imprisonment as a site of collective resistance that transcends factional divides. Palestinian prisoners embody a shared struggle against colonialism, apartheid, and military occupation.

Aucun ne promeut la justice, aucun n’a apporté de solution, aucun n’est de bon augure pour l’une ou l’autre des parties concernées.
Educateurs, responsables communautaires, chefs spirituels, artistes, historiens, militants des droits humains, prisonniers politiques, journalistes, médecins, trente personnalités s’appuient sur leurs expériences pour retracer ce qui a été fait et ce qui devrait être réalisé à l’avenir, d’une manière qui reflète non seulement les aspirations des Palestiniens, mais aussi leur vision de ce qui est possible.
