Prominent Palestinian doctor, Iyad Rantisi, dies during interrogation in Israel
Prominent Palestinian doctor, Iyad Rantisi, dies during interrogation in Israel
A senior doctor from Gaza died last November under interrogation by the Shin Bet, six days after his detention.
Put it on the list for the ICC. This was not an "Interrogation".
After Rantisi’s death, “the Ashkelon Magistrate’s Court issued a six-month gag order prohibiting publication of all details of the case, including the existence of the gag order. The court order expired in May,” Haaretz reported.
The whole fucking system is screwed. Jfc.
Not suspicious at all /s
Only democracy in the Middle East, ladies and gentlemen.
I am so sick of these passive article titles. He was tortured to death. He was tortured and murdered. Call it what it is.
Same.
It seems as childish as toddlers having broken something by throwing it forcefully on the floor and then pretending that they don't understand why the thing broke.
I think they use passive headlines over concern about being sued for libel, but I agree. They really need to call the bluff, because if a party sues for libel, that party has to prove it's a willful lie. And that would be a very interesting discovery process.
So he was tortured to death by the Israelis. He didn't just "die" like that. He was tortured to death. Call it for what it is
Prominent Palestinian doctor, Iyad Rantisi, was tortured to death by Israel
This is so, so fucked up.
It's hard to grieve effectively in the face of so many tragedies. Here is another one.
Horrible.
Just want to add another source here from an Israeli news source (Hareetz) also reporting all the major points from the above article.

Probably not a surprise, but the suspicious uninvestigated deaths don't end there.
This is totally normal. People die under interrogation all the time in oppressive authoritarian countries. I don't know why Iran and Israel are fighting when they have so much in common.
Another victim of the Apartheid brutality

I got no horse in this race because I'm from Mexico and the USA, well maybe I got a pony since you'd have to drag me back to Mexico. But I digress.... let me correct the tit-Le. It should be "prominent Palestinian doctor, Iyad Rantisi (sounds like he really liked rants like me), was murdered while in custody by the Israeli army as they tortured him in a fake interrogation mostly a thinly veiled murder made to look like an interrogation. It's a long title but it gets the message across.
I mean, if the words "Israel" and "interrogation" are in it, it pretty clearly conveys what you just described.
Yeah he was absolutely tortured to death. Fucking disgusting.
And the White House is baffled by Netanyahu's claim about not supplying enough weapons to Israel. Is torture allowed under the Geneva Conventions?
Israel really thinks they're going to get away with this kind of shit huh? No wonder Netanyahu is so mad about his Amazon packages
Well His government has been getting away with it for a long long time. They're quite used to it.
They're getting away with it so far.
Yes and no. They've since lost global support for their actions; in an unprecedented move they are now being closely investigated for war crimes in a state of the world where such courts want to maintain impartiality to sustain their verdicts against Russia in Ukraine. To me it seems pretty clear that the Biden administration wants nothing to do with Israel but is only willing to follow the polls of public sentiment as opposed to take an aggressive stance ahead of where the public is at.
In this respect, Hamas succeeded. Israel over-stepped and committed the equivalent of 30, 40, perhaps 50+ October 7ths. The widespread recognition that Israel is a far-right nationalist government and Bibi is trying to desperately cling to power and avoid conviction in ongoing criminal trials domestically will, hopefully, have serious repercussions in the long-term. Domestically, Israelis may also slowly be coming to the realization that their Democracy isn't so Democratic.
Both Netanyahu and Putin are closely watching, and actively trying to influence, these US elections.
They will because they're backed by the US.
They have been getting away with worse for decades.
