Abdallah Aljamal: 'Prisoners' Rights' Activist Held, Abused Israeli Hostages by Jonathan Spyer JNS June 14, 2024
When the “justice” is one-sided, it is no longer justice. When are they going to drop the pretense? A better question, though, is when West stops buying their lies.

“Regarding the ill-fated Abdallah Aljamal, emergent evidence of the conditions faced by the civilians kidnapped by he and his colleagues indicates that his evident concern for the well being of the incarcerated did not extend to those who he himself was holding captive.
According to Dr. Itai Pessah of Sheba Medical Center outside Tel Aviv, who is supervising the recovery of the four rescued Israeli hostages, the three men held by Aljamal were 'beaten regularly' during their captivity, suffered 'almost daily abuse' and show signs of malnutrition and muscle wastage. Shlomi Ziv, one of the hostages held by the Abujamals told Israel Channel 13 news that the men were made to read the Quran each day and to take part in Islamic prayer.
Abdallah Aljamal's last article for the Palestine Chronicle, published on June 3, was entitled 'My House will Always be Open.' A cynic might observe that this observation turned out to be more true than Aljamal knew. The irony of the prisoners' rights activist who was simultaneously holding and abusing prisoners of his own, meanwhile, is likely to remain as one of the more curious monuments to the inversion of all coherent codes of ethics by the Gaza Islamists and their many supporters in the west, both before and in the course of the current war.”
But Israel never abuses prisoners. They just tie up wounded teenagers onto their jeep and use as human shields to kill Palestinians in Jenin.
