Israel's Abuse of Palestinians
Israel’s appalling abuse of Palestinian prisoners I am
writing to express my deep concern about the inhumane treatment of Palestinian
detainees at Sde Teiman, an Israeli military base in southern Israel. Recent
reports reveal that detainees, including civilians with no ties to militant
groups, have faced brutal conditions and abuse.
The detainees, often held without charges, have been
subjected to beatings, electric shocks, and demeaning conditions, such as being
forced to wear only diapers during interrogations. They are cut off from legal
and familial contact for weeks, with their location withheld from rights groups
and the International Red Cross, violating international law.
Interviews with former detainees and military personnel,
as well as observations by UNRWA officials, paint a grim picture of the
detention facility. The military's claim of humane treatment is contradicted by
accounts of violence and neglect, resulting in severe injuries and deaths.
Despite some soldiers being dismissed for excessive force, the systemic abuse
continues.
The Israeli Supreme Court is now reviewing petitions to
close the site, and the Israeli government has promised improvements. However,
the international community must urgently address these violations to ensure
the humane treatment of all detainees and uphold justice.
Every American should cringe over the gross abuse of
their tax dollars. We must immediately defund Israel’s killing machine and
gross human rights abuses.
