Israeli jailers would wrap Palestinian prisoners in shrouds and bury them alive.
As they began to suffocate, just before death took hold, a small amount of air was allowed in to keep them alive, only for the process to be repeated moments later.
Abukhater said the torture began the moment they were detained and continued until the very last moment before their release.
“Our hands and feet were shackled, and they struck us with frozen water bottles and bottles filled with olives,” he added.
“There, the soldiers urinated in a container and then poured it over our faces and bodies.”
Thank you so much for your kindness. I would indeed appreciate any recommendations for reading factual information! Maybe others here would, as well? Please feel free to DM your recommendations, but also maybe post a few here, in case anyone else is interested? Of course that’s entirely at your discretion.
You have been so kind in this exchange, I also feel you and the entire exchange is wholesome and enriching. It’s so sad that societies, in real life and online, has devolved into getting even/"owning” the other. In full disclosure, I went down that road for entirely too long before finally realizing it leads to nowhere good, for individuals or societies. It’s going to be a long way home, but I’m on that road now. I’m so honored to share the "road less traveled” with honest, kind people who will hold me to account with rigor and compassion, to both coax and prod, as appropriate to the need of the moment. I thank you again for the enrichment you’ve brought to me, along our way.
I do wish you all the best, as we walk together. I can’t give you a real+life hug or handshake; please know I give both, in my heart and mind, for whatever small value that may hold.
