Palestininian protest icon Ahed Tamimi , who I have written about previously, is back in a military court today today , facing 10 years in prison, an individual that for many symbolizes the Palestinians' David vs Goliath struggle against military occupation, high profile entertainers, scholars, and civil rights icons have just recently signed a just released letter in support of her and other Palestinian children imprisoned by Israel.On behalf of those who should be able to live out their childhood without the unrelenting encroachment of illegal Israeli settlements, occupation and military courts where they face 99% prosecution rates.
The signatories include prominent actors Danny Glover, Rosario Dawson, Grey's Anatomy star Jesse Williams and the Practice's LisaGay Hamilton, musicians including Vic Mensa, Talib Kweli and Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello, civil rights leaders Patrisse Cullors and Alicia Garza ( xo-founders of Black Lives Matter), Angela Davis, Michelle Alexander, political commenttors Marc Lamont-Hill and Angela Rye, and Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman and super bowl champion Michael Bennett.

There are also daily Teitterstorms organised by the Facebook page Free the Tamimi Women, https://www.facebook.com/FreeTamimiWomen/ which one could support. I believe we should all support those who dare to stand up to repression. Take action stand up for Ahed now.
Tell Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to release her without delay.
