Israel: Palestinian Healthcare Workers Tortured

(Jerusalem) – Israeli forces have arbitrarily detained Palestinian healthcare workers in Gaza since hostilities began in October 2023, deported them to detention facilities in Israel, and allegedly tortured and ill-treated them, Human Rights Watch said today. The detention of healthcare workers in the context of the Israeli military’s repeated attacks on hospitals in Gaza has contributed to the catastrophic degradation of the besieged territory’s healthcare system.

Released doctors, nurses and paramedics described to Human Rights Watch their mistreatment in Israeli custody, including humiliation, beatings, forced stress positions, prolonged cuffing and blindfolding, and denial of medical care. They also reported torture, including rape and sexual abuse by Israeli forces, denial of medical care, and poor detention conditions for the general detainee population.

Hey everybody! The concept of human rights is a left-wing concept, but science is apolitical.

That’s right, according to Dave M. Van Zandt, the political spectrum of left and right means stuff Democrats care about vs stuff Republicans care about. He’s placed organizations like HRW, that lobbies for the human rights of people tortured and imprisoned by authoritarian regimes as ‘center-left’, and HRC, a non-partisan group that lobbies for the human rights of LGBTQ people as ‘left’.

Meanwhile, organizations like NOAA which Republicans want to defund due to their well documented war on science, Dave M. Van Zandt does not place on the political spectrum. The impartiality of science is only important when it doesn’t apply to the scientific consensus that LGBTQ people are human and should have rights.
