Times of Israel—We saved the life of Hamas’s Gaza leader, says Israel’s ex-prison chief, dismissing strikers’ complaints:

Orit Adato, who handled huge rise in inmate population during Second Intifada, says terrorist convicts get better conditions here than almost anywhere else

When Orit Adato was tapped in mid-2000 to become Israel’s prison commissioner, there were 600 Palestinians serving time for security-related offenses. By the time she left her post for retirement three years later, the jails she oversaw were filled with thousands of security prisoners, products of the Second Intifada.

One of the prisoners to enter the system at that time was a Palestinian terrorist named Marwan Barghouti, sentenced to five life terms for orchestrating a series of deadly attacks on Israelis. In the years since, Barghouti has led a number of hunger strikes, culminating in an ongoing one launched last month by more than 1,000 inmates, the largest Palestinian hunger strike ever.

Barghouti says the strike is to protest “inhumane” conditions in Israeli jails, including medical negligence, solitary confinement, imprisonment without a trial, and a lack of family visitation rights.

But Adato, who spoke to The Times of Israel in her central Israel hometown of Shoham, said it was simply not true that Palestinian security prisoners suffer inhumane conditions. Indeed, the contention made her visibly upset.

“The conditions are very humane. They are being supplied with all their needs — food, clothing, medical treatment… They are getting better conditions than any other terrorists in the world,” she said, later allowing that a few Scandinavian countries might be better.

For proof she pointed to Yahya Sinwar, the hard-line Hamas leader in Gaza, who, she said, is alive today only because of brain surgery he received, reportedly for a tumor, while in Israeli prison.

SnyderTalk Comment:

People who have never visited Israel may have a hard time believing this, but Palestinians in Israel are treated like everybody else.  They shop in the stores; they eat in the restaurants; and they have important jobs, in hospitals for example.

This is common knowledge among ordinary Palestinians, and that’s why they would rather live in Israel than the West Bank or Gaza.  From their perspective, it’s a no-brainer.

Radical Islamist Palestinians are a different story.  Even when their lives have been saved by Israeli doctors, as was the case for Yahya Sinwar, they still wake up every day trying to figure out how to kill more Israeli Jews.

Western leaders should know the facts.  I suspect they do.  If I’m right, Western leaders suffer from anti-Semitism of the worst sort.  It’s the kind where you have to ignore the truth and choose to believe lies.

There is a penalty for that, and it’s not pretty.

“If My people who are called by My Name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7: 14)

Change that Yahweh calls “good” begins in the hearts of believers—people who are recognizable because they are different.

We are different because we belong to Him and are called by His Name.  We are Yahweh’s people, His followers.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
