In October 2023,
Fadiah Barghouti’s home in Ramallah was raided by Israeli forces. Soldiers
broke down her door and smashed everything that they could get their hands on.
They were searching for her son Basel, whom they beat along with her other son,
saying they would all “pay the price for supporting Hamas.” It was a claim
Barghouti was familiar with: Her husband Mahmoud is currently being held in an
Israeli prison for the same unsubstantiated charge, as he has been on and off
for 10 of the last 30 years.
