MESOP : Arguments & Analysis – HAMAS = ISIS OF GAZA

Read full amnesty report : “‘Strangling Necks’: Abductions, torture and summary killings of Palestinians by Hamas forces during the 2014 Gaza/Israel conflict” (Amnesty International)

“In every case Amnesty International has documented, it has uncovered evidence of Hamas forces using torture during interrogation with the apparent aim of extracting a ‘confession’ from the detainee. Testimonies indicate that victims of torture were beaten with truncheons, gun butts, hoses, wire, and fists; some were also burnt with fire, hot metal or acid. In several cases family members of victims described to Amnesty International various injuries inflicted on the detainees, such as broken bones — including of the spine and neck bones — trauma to the eyes, as well as damage, punctures or burns to the skin. The torture and summary killing of people in captivity — including suspected ‘informers’ or ‘collaborators’ — are, when committed in the context of an armed conflict, serious violations of international humanitarian law, constituting war crimes.”Full Report: https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde21/1643/2015/en/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=%2AMideast%20Brief&utm_campaign=New%20Campaign
