Human Rights Watch: Palestinian Authority, Hamas, ‘Crush Dissent’ jewishpress.com/news/eye-on-pa… via @JewishPress
Gather ’round, lovers of freedom and democracy, it turns out the country you’ve been haranguing and boycotting and cursing because of its repression of Arabs, is a shining beacon of decency and respect for Arabs’ human rights.
According to Human Rights Watch, it is the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority in Judea and Samaria and the Hamas authorities in Gaza which routinely arrest and torture peaceful critics and opponents—Arabs every last one of them.
Human Rights Watch just released a 149-page report, “‘Two Authorities, One Way, Zero Dissent:’ Arbitrary Arrest and Torture Under the Palestinian Authority and Hamas,” evaluating patterns of arrest and detention conditions in the PA and the Gaza Strip.
Systematic arbitrary arrests and torture violate major human rights treaties to which the PLO has recently acceded—as a means of attacking Israel abroad, in violation of the Oslo accords.
Few security officers have been prosecuted and none have been convicted for wrongful arrest or torture, as far as Human Rights Watch has been able to determine.
“EU, US, and other gov'ts that financially support the Palestinian Authority and Hamas should suspend aid to specific units or agencies implicated in widespread arbitrary arrests and torture until authorities curb those practices and hold those responsible for abuse accountable"
