A recently released Palestinian woman has unveiled information about Israel’s misbehavior and immoral insults to Palestinian women who are kept in custody.

“Palestinian women prisoners have been and continue to be exposed to repeated interrogation even throughout nights”, said Saberin Abu-Ammarah, a 26-year-old Palestinian woman who has recently been freed after spending six years in an Israeli prison.

She added that Israeli jailors stripped Palestinian women of their clothes.

She said that Israel’s misbehavior towrard Palestinian women is a crime against humanity and added that Israeli jailors did not let prisoners meet with their families especially in the holy month of Ramadan and did not provide them with television or radio.

The released woman said that some prisoners are in bad health, but Israelis prevent the entering of doctors into prison facilities.

More than 12,000 Palestinians — including women and children — imprisoned by Israel are suffering under harsh conditions in unaccountable detention facilities. Read More »Freed female prisoner discloses Isaraels cruelty

Israeli ads warn against marrying non-Jews

The Israeli government has launched a television and internet advertising campaign urging Israelis to inform on Jewish friends and relatives abroad who may be in danger of marrying non-Jews. The advertisements, employing what the Israeli media described as “scare tactics”, are designed to stop assimilation through intermarriage among young diaspora Jews by encouraging their move to Israel.

The campaign, which cost $800,000, was created in response to reports that half of all Jews outside Israel marry non-Jews. It is just one of several initiatives by the Israeli state and private organisations to try to increase the size of Israel’s Jewish population.

According to one ad, voiced over by one of the country’s leading news anchors, assimilation is “a strategic national threat”, warning: “More than 50 per cent of diaspora youth assimilate and are lost to us.”

Adam Keller, of Gush Shalom, an Israeli peace group, said this was a reference both to a general fear in Israel that the Jewish people may one day disappear through assimilation and to a more specific concern that, if it is to survive, Israel must recruit more Jews to its “demographic war” against Palestinians.

RAMALLAH – The controversy triggered by a Swedish newspaper report about Israel’s harvesting of Palestinian organs has salted the wounds of many Palestinian families haunted by the memories of loved ones who suffered the same fate.
“They claimed they came to arrest him, but in truth they came to murder him, which they did,” Walid Masalmeh, a resident of the small West Bank town of Dura, 10 kilometer west of Al-Khalil (Hebron), said about his relative Bassam.

In 1995, Bassam was killed by the Israeli army at the village of Beit Awwa, located near the former armistice line between the West Bank and what is now Israel.

“But 24 hours later they returned the body with a huge scar running from the chin to the lower abdomen,” Walid remembers.“They took all the vital organs, including the heart, kidneys, Liver. Then they stuffed the empty cavities with garbage before sewing him up.”

Several other Palestinians gave a similar narrative, recounting how they received the bodies of their murdered relatives, mostly men in their early twenties, with vital organs taken away by the Israeli authorities.Israeli occupation authorities don’t deny that the bodies of victims were returned to their respective families minus the internal organs, but claim that the organs were disposed of as part of routine autopsy operations.
