PA Prisoners Describe Torture in Shechem Prison
Arutz 7 ^ | 5/5/2002 | Arutz 7

(IsraelNN.com) PA human rights organizations remain deafly silent despite reports of horrific torture of prisoners in a PA prison in Shechem.

Some of the 120 prisoners released from a PA jail in April by IDF forces, during Operation Defensive Shield, describe their nightmare, being tortured by Yasser Arafat's security forces. Many described having been abducted from their homes, only to be hung upside down, sometimes for days, and having cigarettes extinguished on their bodies. Others detailed being beaten unconscious, along with being slashed with knives and cut with shards of glass, while some of the prisoners were forces to remain in sewage lines for days.

The SILENCE OF THE UN,and the rest of the Human Right's groups are deafining. If an Israeli or American causes a hangnail there are screams and shouts. If an Arab tortures another Arab -- that does not count as Human Rights abuse. Just like Assad's father in Syria when he killed 30,000 of his open people - silence, when Chritisans responed to brutality in Lebanon in Sabra and Shitllia whe have major problems with the media. The Arab world works under a double standard

Certainly worth investigating, but yes, the silence from so-called "human rights groups" is deafening.

Authors and posters forget that for Muslims, a brutal people to whom torture is as routine as a hamburger is to us--

The crime in even the most brutal action exists only if and to the extent that a non-Muslim is the act-OR and a Muslim is the act-EE!!! Remember that!

Muslims do not care how much pain, torture, death, that their fellow Muslims endure, as long as it is being inflicted by their fellow Muslims! They view it as a necessary and inevitable part of the state apparatus.

A terrible CRIME is committed however, if a non Muslim should even SPEAK ROUGHLY to, or HUMILIATE, a Muslim, much less kill one!

Remember, it is a much more serious thing for a non-Muslim to merely offend, or miff, or humiliate, ONE Muslim, ...

THAN FOR HIS FELLOW MUSLIM(S) TO KILL HIM, HIS FAMILY, or HIS ENTIRE TRIBE AND NATION in a genocide!

How many times will I hafta tells ya this?

Yep, and people still cry out, "Give Arafat what he wants. The poor, innocent Palestinians. They have no other choice but to blow themselves up. No other choice. . . "

I just mentioned this in a previous post, but another thing the UN and human right watch people keep ignoring is the regular lynchings that the PA carries out, brutally lynching and dragging their own people through the streets --Because they are SUSPECTED Israeli sympathizers!! Sure, we see Jewish Palestinian sympathizers on TV all the time. the only reason why we never see Palestinians that sympathize with Israel is because their bloody corpses turning to dust.

Seems like the only thing Yasser Arafat's "government" does well is destroy other human beings.

Terrorists are terrorists. Why would terrorists who operate a jail become nice guys? Terrorists are terrorists. It's just that simple.

LOL :) A few weeks ago, I heard a representative of some human rights organization explain that they "have to walk a fine line" when monitoring these rotten countries because if they criticize them, the bad guys won't let them into the country again. IOW, they can only criticize nations that are good...

Hmm, I can see them. Sometimes if you get the dreaded red X, if you right click the mouse on the red X,
it will allow you to click on "show picture" and the picture will come up.
Beyond that, I know nothing. :o)
