Why are Palestinians tortured in Israeli prisons?

[Leftisrightisleft]

We have heard time and time again from detained Palestinians once they are freed, about the extensive torture and abuse they faced at the hands of Israeli prisons guards.

Is this legal in Israel? Is that why nothing is done about it?

Everexpanding
It seems that there were other witnesses who also said that hands were bound

I would take more notice of the doctor who carried out the post-mortem examination - he clearly didn't see the binding on the bodies claimed by Dr Ahmed al-Farra. Both doctors work at the same hospital.

I do not have enough knowledge to interpret one photo

You don't need expert knowledge to examine the photo. The photograph published by Sky News is self-evident.

Now we are supposed to believe that Dr Ahmed al-Farra, a paediatric doctor, has examined another set of adult bodies, six months later, claiming that they too were bound. Where is the 'photographic evidence' this time?

Horrible testimonies of women being gang raped and filmed.

I don't think I've got the courage to read that. But, I can well believe it. Israel have been using sexual violence to terrorise the poor Palestinians since its creation, during the Nakba. Those poor women 😔

Was that Algeria at the UN?

Disgusting lies to counter the real gang rape of Israeli women.

What does ‘beaten on the genitals’ even mean?

As they say every accusation is a confession.

Any evidence of that blood libel claim?

Bringing out that blood libel threat isn’t quite the show stopper you think it is. Something that happened in the Middle Ages isn’t a free get out of jail pass whenever Israelis commit horrific crimes.

Agree
I’m afraid it’s become a classic so called excuse to try to make light of Israel’s crimes.

Two wrongs don’t make a right

Why would it be a ‘show stopper’?

What is the threat in that term?

The modern day meaning is false accusations to demonise Israel Jews which is exactly what those allegations you posted aim to do.

If you were responding to that post, why didn’t you answer it btw?

I don’t make any excuses for Israel so I don’t know where you get that from. Nothing in it for me. It has no effect on me personally what it’s accused of.

It does disgust me that terrorist propaganda is accepted as facts to blatantly perpetrate the ancient hatred, persecution and scapegoating of a tiny minority of people who have contributed a lot to humanity though.

I don’t mind challenging it.

@TicklishMauveSquid you have previously justified/excused the sexual torture of Palestinian prisoners on this site so I am sorry but I for one, have no interest in anything you say

Oh gosh that is awful, could you please let us know what posts exactly are terrorist propaganda and who exactly has been putting forward this terrorist propaganda? Have you reported it to mumsnet?

I haven’t noticed any posts promoting terrorist propaganda, probably my lack of observation (though strangely I have noticed quite a few posts excusing genocide). If you could please let me know where these posts are exactly so I can report them I would be so grateful. Thanks.

Why respond to my posts then?

Not bothered anyway and take it as a compliment considering the content of what you post.

I will continue challenging it though.

Too much to list.

The claim of genocide is terrorist propaganda for a start.

Name a similar genocide which has ended when the hostages being held captive by the genocidees are handed over. Then the genocidees immediately start killing each other after the genocidaires have retreated and renege on the deal that stopped the ‘genocide’?

Pleased for you that you acknowledge your lack of observation.

@TicklishMauveSquid What articles from the UN, BBC, reputable newspapers in comparison to your X posts and misinformation?? ? happily stick with my sources, you keep marinating yourself in racism and hate and ignoring anything which raises valid criticism of Israel’s actions.
You should be asking yourself what leads someone to justify torture as you have

As to why I would respond to your posts, I don’t like seeing people spreading misinformation to justify genocide

Spreading misinformation?

That’s absolutely shocking coming from you.

You have some neck

There aren’t any.

You're so kind saying you may have missed some posts though

It seems everyone including Charities and International organisations and people in general that call out Israel for their atrocities are deemed either biased or Anti semitic
It’s clearly the only way some people can get past what Israel are actually doing. It’s definitely a way to call them all liars

It’s Israeli Propaganda. Possibly all coming from Netanyahu and his far right Government…but a lot of it isn’t

People will believe whatever they want to if it gives them personal peace and waivers accountability

It’s disgusting

If you are accusing people of something report it and name names. An accusation means nothing if you don’t give any examples or evidence. It is throwing around accusations without proof or foundation and hoping some of it sticks. Evidence please.

The people who were victims of genocide were the Palestinian people, it is pretty insulting to equate them with Hamas. I am sure ordinary Israelis would hate to be equated with the extremists zionists murdering people in the West Bank. You do seem a bit confused about this. Israelis were abducted by a Palestinian terrorist organisation not ordinary Palestinian citizens. Hamas are about 1.5% of the population. The ordinary citizens who have had genocide committed against them were not represented in the ceasefire, they did not have a voice to agree or disagree with anything.

The same unfounded accusations on another thread.

No proof given there either !

Same old same old

From an article today, regarding bodies stored in Sde Teiman

“Some of the photographs of Palestinian bodies seen by the Guardian – which cannot be published due to their graphic nature* *– show several of the victims blindfolded, their hands tied behind their backs. One image shows a rope fastened around a man’s neck.

Doctors in Khan Younis said official examinations and field observations “clearly indicate that Israel carried out acts of murder, summary executions and systematic torture against many of the Palestinians”. Health officials said the documented findings included “clear signs of direct gunfire at point-blank range and bodies crushed beneath Israeli tank tracks”.”

Wow. I can’t say I’m shocked. I expect nothing less from the IOF.

How completely disgusting, hideous and cruel.
