The most recent Israeli criminal behavior against a prisoner is not so astounding given what the fact the Palestinians have been enduring the worse for decades. Arafat Jaradat, a 31-year-old Palestinian, was taken away by Israeli forces last Saturday on the suspicion that he lobbed stones at Israeli troops.
A week later, he died in an Israeli prison after being questioned by the Shin Bet security service — notorious for its brutal torture practices. Israel has a way of legitimizing torture when dealing with Palestinians and it always gets away with it without any recriminations and commendations from the so-called international community.
I am really stunned that why the international community is not condemning this recent crime, which has rightly sparked rage amongst Palestinians? Why a team of international investigators hasn’t gone to Megiddo prison to discover what exactly happened to Jaradat? Why does Israel continue to act with utmost freedom to harass and torture Palestinians? Is Jaradat’s death an Israeli tactic to enrage Palestinians, in order to disrupt and derail any future peace negotiations?
Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been detained by the Israeli security agencies like Jaradat on frivolous grounds, with no suitable legal recourse given to them. In fact, there has been an endless agitation showing solidarity with prisoners held by Israel, highlighting the plight of the Palestinian prisoners languishing in Israel jails.
Israel must understand, no matter how viciously and wickedly it acts against innocent Palestinians, its diabolic designs will not succeed in keeping people from pursuing uprightness and legitimate rights. —
