To John on the sunset coast.......... According to the Palestine Ministry of Prison Affairs in a July 2006 statement some 700,000 Palestinians have been arrested since 1967 by Israeli military forces in the illegally occupied territories. Many have died in prison through torture or medical neglect. Many others have been tortured,beaten,crammed into small cells, hooded ,given inadequate food and kept in confinement without trial...young children are included in this general imprisonment of the Palestinian people who are being illegally occupied by an invading power. For further information Mudcat readers should google Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons... a wealth of pretty horrible information awaits you. We all know the name of the Israeli soldier captured in Gaza but do we know the names of any Palestinian prisoners incarcerated in one of a number of Israeli jails? ifor
