webfact Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Israel rejects appeal against force-feeding prisoners Supreme court rejects an appeal from Israeli doctors who view the practice as torture and medically risky JERUSALEM: -- Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that the force-feeding of prisoners on hunger strike is constitutional after rejecting an appeal from the Israel Medical Association. "This law is legal under Israeli law and international law," the court ruled on Sunday of a law passed in July last year allowing hunger-strikers to be force-fed if their lives are in danger. "Saving a life must remain the priority and the state is responsible for the lives of its prisoners," the judges said, according to the Paris-based AFP news agency.

It seems that Israel, including its High Court, have lost any respect for human beings if these are Arabs. It's simply a disgrace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it is better to ignore rather than comment. Especially when comments are obviously baiting a response. They are not posting for reasoned debate. Nothing you can say would make them see the middle way. For them there is only one way. Let them show their ignorance, meet it with silence.
