THE life of Felicia Langer, who died this year, is a shining example of a Jewish Israeli who championed the cause of the Palestinian people.
Her own biography Fury and Hope (1993) is as much about the suffering of Palestinians under Israeli occupation as about her own life.
She wrote several books and numerous articles on the Palestinian experience under Israeli oppression. In them, she discusses the routine torture of detainees, violation of international law prohibiting deportation, as well as collective punishment.
