Surviving Israeli jail: Torture, humiliation and giving birth

April 27, 2012 15:29

Thousands of Palestinians are on hunger strike in Israeli prisons - for over a week, they have been protesting against indefinite detention without charge and alleged ill-treatment. Some of those who got out, told RT about their life behind bars.

The treatment of these priosners is just shocking. Even though the average inmate in the US would have a long laundry list of complaints if given the chance to vent, he or she should thank the Lord that they are surviving in a prison in a much better envoronment than these Palestinians.

While the article is extremely biased ignoring the reason why these so-called Palestinians are in prison, most of the comments smack of blatant anti-Semitism.  These Islamists are the same as the ones seeking to overthrow Russia and yet you try to gain sympathy for them and their cause.  Let's make a modicum attempt to put things in perspective.
True! That's something most readers of this site want to ignore, anything that makes Israel look bad is ok by them. They dont realize (or are to ignorant to care) mulsim extremist like most Palestinians are enemies of most of the civilized world. But they refuse to acknowledge that. Instead they would rather ignorantly keep hating on Israel, blindly following the gods of liberal media. Islam will cause chaos wherever it goes.
Radical Islam hates Europe, hates Russia, hates England for sure, REALLY hates America and Israel. They fly plane into buildings, blow themselves up in crowded markets, they believe in slavery, they believe in killing anyone is does not worship Alla, they believe in a holy war that doesn't end until all the world is muslim.. the list goes on and on.yet you people still hate on Israel. Im not condoning the mistreatment of prisoners (if its even true) but what Israel is doing is mild compared to what the islamic world is doing.
wake up people.Truth has no agenda


Just like the christian extremists who blow up abortion center s and the zionists who blow up everything right?

All the arguments in this page are a load of phoock. Everybody who says "they are in jail because they did something bad" is a complete nut who has studied phookkin nothing. Then, the people who argue about antisemitism and the holocaust are just.... what the heck are they doing here!? I mean, this is about Palestinians being tortured and killed and you are talking about antisemitism!? Did you even read the article!?

For the "crime" of helping an old woman in a wheelchair at US Air's ticket counter; quietly demanding that they help this woman because they made her miss her connecting flight to go home after surgery - I was taken to a psychiatric ER.  I became upset there, having witnessed the deliberate killing of a teen by the nurses, and I kept being an annoyance to the nurse, asking to leave to use the restroom, asking for water, refusing to just lie down and sleep, insisting on watching the nurses and staff.  So the nurse and a guard and the chief of security, Ken Love, came after me; the guard suffocated me with a pillow for just a moment, to let me know I had no rights here.  The nurse ignored my pleas that she not inject me with a drug that had nearly killed me once before - something I was severely allergic to - I begged her to check her computer records, it would be there in my record.  She ignored me, injected me with that drug, and they all waited for me to die, while staring at my eyes and smiling.  Miraculously, I did not die; they immediately put me in a van and had me taken to a different hospital in a different county.  A doctor told me it's incredible that I did not die; he said if you're so allergic to a drug that you go into anaphylactic shock, each subsequent exposure to that drug puts you a greater risk of anaphylaxis and death.  It happened at Mills-Peninsula Hospital in Burlingame, California.This kind of treatment has been going on for decades in America, in psychiatric facilities, group homes, orphanages, juvenile detention centers, prisons.  The victims are unseen.  No one believes them.  No one cares.

I saw an autistic teen injected with a cocktail of three drugs, heard his death rattle hours later, saw him in cyanosis later; at no point did anyone come to rescue this child from imminent death.  Autistics' bodies cannot handle powerful psychiatric drugs; they're at great risk of cyanosis, which will kill.  It happened at Mills-Peninsula Hospital Psychiatric ER, Burlingame, California, USA.

ANTI SEMITISM, ISLAMIST. two vague words that you use as your last line of defence.

These people are in jail for nasty offensives - although how one can use a rifle like that with welders mitts is another question.
Palesti nians breed like flies, most of them are Vermin. If the British were still running the place - most of them would have been shot by now!
RT should run an article on what happens to Checyans that end up in Russian jails - before getting involved with problems like Palestine - which have nothing to do with them - except for the fact that 60% of Israelis are Russians!

So which is it Russia Today? Jewish Russians beat the Snot out of Palestinians? Now that DOES have a ring to it!

@CON - that is if you accept 'the tragedy' of the Holocaust.   It is finally starting to dawn on most people that the Jews, with the huge help of the Stalinists, took the historical imprisonment of political prisoners by the Nazis, coupled with the mass die off of concentration camp inmates at the end of the war due to Typhus and malnutrition brought on by the total destruction of the German rail sytem by Allied airforces and turned it into a propaganda gold mine for the next 70 years. 

In reality, there was no 'designer genocide' of the Jews by the Nazis.  Records at the Red Cross in Switzerland and the actual totals of all concentration camp populations kept and reported on a monthly basis by the Nazis from the beginning to nearly the end of the war, now found in the newly opened Kremlin state records, show no Holocaust ever took place.  The 'Holocaust' was an invention meant to simply punish the Germans for daring to stop Stalin's intended invasion of Western Europe in the 1940s.  It was a fantasy designed to motivate and justify innumerable act of race hatred and vengance, pure and simple.

The routine and systematic brutality of the Jews in Israel towards the Palestinians is the same systematic brutality the Jews in the Communist party showed during the 30s and 40s to the unfortunate citizens of the USSR.  That is why it is easy to dismiss 'Jewish suffering in WW2' as a lesson learned by the Jews to not practice this on others.   No one ever did to the Jews, what they have done for decades 'to everyone else' first in the Soviet Union and now in Palestine.   The truth is, they are evil vermin, all on their own, without any help from others.   They wrote the book on subversion, treachery and mafioso financing.

When is RT going to publish an article about the treatment/torture of Chechens in Russian prisons (a lot of them have also never been convicted by a court?).  I am sure palestinians are not treated as should be in israeli prisons, but the hypocrisy and selective "news" reporting on RT is really comical. How do you want to compete with other media if you only bash other countries...?Even Fox news (media for certain Americans lacking intelligence) critisizes certain practises of their own government/allies...
The Main Stream Media is very practiced at driving wedges between the ignorant Americans and those who look for what is really happening in the U.S. and abroad. FOX will never say anything positive about President Obama, the democratic practices that make our Social Network strong, (Social Security, pension plans, food stamps, and welfare to name a few), and insure they cover news that makes these programs look like giveaways to the lazy. Fox will never criticize any military action over seas and continually pushes to insure that the military should have a greater role in contental police keeping. Their skill is unprecidented at pushing an agenda that is against the constitution to weaken the social fabric. If it reminds you of third world dictatorships, it should. If RT decides to bring out its dirty laundry then everyone can counter Russias flaws, but sometimes going against the flow of the river is useless. Im sure other countries are happy to air Russias ills the same way RT is doing with the West. At least there is some balance.

DEPLETED URANIUM.

Huma ns are brain dead from toxic DU, come on any human with a brain cell still in one modicum of synapse can without a science expert's understanding see the news globally and know the liver in the body of what was once human, is basically an organ of total corruption.

T here is no way the earth's time now can be seen as other than the end times of DU poisoning in the human organic form.

Else the healing would have begun in 2000, and not the end times.

According to as-Sinwar, the Shabak [Israeli General Security Service] handles torture during the investigation, and the Shabas [Israeli Prison Service] tortures sentenced prisoners. “They have two departments – Nahshon and Metzada – which are responsible for the total psychological destruction of a person. These methods are not used anywhere else in the world.”
------- -----------
Is that so? I recognized many of these tactics as what the US has adopted. This really isn't the US anymore. It is Israeli-occupied North America.
