Oil’s Secret Tale</i>, Walid Daqqah describes a wall – a vast wall that darkens
the sky, divides the Earth, separates animals and plants and people from each
other – a wall that stops children from visiting their parents in prison. Daqqah’s
story is about a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, born because the sperm of his imprisoned
father was smuggled to his mother, outside. Since this act was blatantly illegal,
the boy and his father have never been allowed to meet. So one day, the boy
assembles his friends – a rabbit, a cat, a dog, a donkey – and together, they
begin to strategize how they can get past the wall to visit the boy’s father…<span></span></span></p>

of Israeli prisons for 37 years. During this time, he has written essays, plays,
novels, columns, poems. His work depicts the realities of Palestinians under
Israeli rule, materially, politically, psychologically. But <i>The Oil’s Secret
Tale</i> is special: three years ago, Daqqah’s own daughter, Milad, was born to
his wife, Sanaa Salameh, via his own sperm, smuggled out of prison. Although, unlike
the boy in the story, 3-year-old Milad occasionally, with her mother, has been
allowed to visit her father, Walid Daqqah’s own story does not end here.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Courier"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><br><span></span></span></p>

the age of 25, he was arrested with three other members of the Popular Front
for the Liberation of Palestine, and convicted of killing Moshe Tamam, a
soldier in the Israel Defense Forces. He was given a life sentence, which
remained unchanged long after the 1990s, when the Oslo Accords mandated the
release of Palestinian prisoners convicted before the Accords were signed. Over
his decades inside, Daqqah earned a BA, then an MA in political science. He
developed as a writer and intellectual, married Salameh in 1999, and became one
of the foremost spokespeople of the Palestinian prisoners movement. In 2012, his
sentence was commuted to 37 years.<span></span></span></p>

and, over the years, Daqqah’s body weakened. In 2015, he was diagnosed with
leukemia, necessitating regular blood tests.In 2018, around the time he won the
Etisalat Award for Arabic Children’s Literature for <i>The Oil’s Secret Tale</i>,
Daqqah was also convicted of helping a Palestinian Knesset member smuggle
cellphones in to prisoners, for which he received an additional two-year
sentence. <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Courier"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Along with this conviction, Israeli
authorities prohibited Daqqah’s blood tests, meant to monitor the status of his
leukemia and guide its treatment. This led to his diagnosis, last December, of
myelofibrosis, a rare, usually terminal, bone marrow cancer. Since then, he has
suffered a stroke, renal failure, and pneumonia, for which treatment – when
given at all – was seriously delayed. Daqqah’s family and supporters call out this
medical neglect as deliberate, a regular policy of the Israeli Prison Service
(IPS) to control and ultimately eliminate the political prison population. <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Courier"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Though Daqqah has occasionally seen the
inside of a functioning hospital, he is now thought to spend most of his time
inside the Ramleh Prison clinic, an unsanitary structure that, over the years,
has come to be called “the slaughterhouse” by Palestinian prisoners. Several people
have died there, including, this May, Khader Adnan, on hunger strike in protest
of the Israeli government’s use of administrative detention. <span></span></span></p>

respected and loved; in Israel, he is widely feared and hated. Doctors estimate
that he has another year and a half to live – two years, at most. He could have
walked out of prison on March 24 of this year, when his 37-year sentence was up;
he could have begun to receive responsible medical care. But the IPS insists on
Daqqah serving out his extra two-year sentence. Daqqah’s legal team appealed, based
on his dire medical condition, and requested early release. Late this May, however,
an Israeli commission denied him parole. During his parole hearing, Israeli
settlers attacked Daqqah’s supporters outside the Ramleh Prison court,
chanting, “Death to Walid Daqqah,” while Israeli police stood by. Israel’s
Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has declared, “Daqqah is human
scum and should end his life in prison.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Courier"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><br><span></span></span></p>

to free Walid Daqqah, or at the very least, get him the medical care he needs. The
campaign also demands that regular visits be reinstated between Daqqah and his
wife and daughter, who – while enduring government harassment, including an
Israeli police raid on their home last February – have been barred from seeing
him during these months of medical and legal crisis. The International
Association of Democratic Lawyers has issued a resolution for Daqqah’s release.

and press conference outside the UN; in Toronto, PYM protesters showed up at the
Israeli Consulate; across country and state borders, they’ve promoted
letter-writing campaigns and issued petitions. Kaleem Hawa, a PYM member in the
New York area, describes the Palestinian Youth Movement as grassroots, made up
of diaspora Palestinian and Arab young people, “fighting for the total
liberation of their homeland in Palestine.” Because the PYM is in touch with
Daqqah’s family and his international campaign, I ask Kaleem how Daqqah’s wife
and daughter are. <span></span></span></p>

been happening to him behind bars,” he tells me. “My understanding is that he
was placed in intensive care then transferred multiple times, which led to a
further deterioration of his health. That’s why we decided, following a call
from Walid’s family and the Palestinian political prisoners movement, to take
on our own campaign to amplify his cause.” <span></span></span></p>

make tenuous contact with Sanaa Salameh, Daqqah’s wife, in Palestine. From New
York, I send Sanaa a few questions in English; they’re translated into Arabic; Sanaa’s
answers are then translated back into English and sent to me, to edit a bit and
condense. I asked her about her husband’s life in prison. She writes that, over
the years, her husband has regularly challenged Israeli prison administrations
– which has sometimes produced victories:<span></span></span></p>

most important of these is our daughter Milad, whose birth made the prison
authorities go insane. Milad’s light shined on Palestine and the world when she
was born on the 3rd of February 2020. Of course the situation and its
pressures are not easy on us. Milad remains my first priority; nothing is more
important than Milad’s schooling and her life. She attends a nursery but
insists on calling it a school because she is eager to grow up. She has always
known that her father is in prison, and we want to make sure we engage with her
in the utmost honesty regarding her father’s condition. <span></span></span></p>

lives are full of anxiety and vigilance, trying to assess Walid’s condition
with little information. His heart muscles have been severely weakened. We
hired a lung specialist to monitor the situation, in hopes of getting a medical
opinion from outside the Israeli prison establishment. Unfortunately, our
doctor has been unable to see him even once, as the prison authorities
constantly move Walid from one medical facility to another. We have just
submitted a request for a heart surgeon to see Walid. We are hoping that we do
not experience the worst of the racist prison bureaucracy. The possibilities
are not great, but this is a battle we intend to fight. I want the world to
know what Walid is going through and I am willing to speak to anyone that will
listen. <span></span></span></p>

is also working on a book tentatively titled <i>The Martyrs Return to Ramallah</i>,

Israeli judge for denying her the right to be born for so many years.”<b> <span></span></b></span></p>

policies targeting the Palestinian moral and social situations are tested,” Daqqah
writes in this essay. Outside the walls, he notes, Israeli tanks, helicopter
gunships, F-16 planes that enter and destroy life on every street and alleyway
in Jenin, Nablus, Ramallah are not meant to target AK-47-toting “terrorists” –
their purpose is to render Palestinians into a deep state of shock.<span></span></span></p>

interpret reality, the feeling of impotence and the loss of initiative are not
only the fate of prisoners, this description applies to <i>all</i>
Palestinians…. The essential similarity relates to the purpose of the jailer;
to remold them according to an Israeli vision, by means of molding their
consciousness and especially by molding the consciousness of that fighting
elite locked in prison. Therefore, in order to understand the general picture
of Palestinian reality, it is worthwhile to study the life of the Palestinian
prisoner, as a parable of the lives of civilians in the Occupied Palestinian
Territories.<span></span></span></p>

Walid Daqqah is to promote his writings and make them available in the West,
largely through the Popular University, a vital committee of the PYM that leads
its political education work, translating Arabic literature and teaching
courses in Palestinian revolutionary history. Kaleem tells me, “We hope to
disseminate more of Walid’s thinking through the Popular University so it’s not
understood in isolation, but as part of a larger system of political
imprisonment. Part of our goal is to do political education for the communities
we live and work in, and to escalate Walid’s case as one of many that people
