Prominent Palestinian doctor, Iyad Rantisi, dies during interrogation in Israel
A senior doctor from Gaza died last November under interrogation by the Shin Bet, six days after his detention.
You don't die during interrogation with regular breaks for food, water, sleep etc. You die during torture
160I guess that it was an unknown prior medical condition. /s
45So sad, Hamas using his life force as a hidden base. They truly know no shame!
44Iran would be proud

Correct. It's clearly either torture or just aimless abuse.
16In fact, people die all the time during every concievable activity without regard to breaks.

Most moral army in the world systematically torturing doctors to death.
84Dude that's like blaming the U.S army for snowden.
The IDF and the Shin Bet are totally different entities
-1The IDF kidnaps people and delivers them to Shin Bet...
Shin Bet tries to torture false confessions out of the doctors that there is a Hamas base underneath a hospital. And frequently tortures their hostages to death...
So the most moral army is systematically giving their hostages to people which they know will torture them to death....
If they know the Shin Bet does this they are complicit in it. Outsourcing the blame does not work.

Put it on the list for the ICC. This was not an "Interrogation".
75Put what on the list? You literally don't even know what happened.
-33"A senior doctor from Gaza died last November under interrogation by the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, six days after his detention, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Tuesday."
"He also said that “Rantisi was detained at an army checkpoint while attempting to cross from north to south Gaza, following the Israeli military’s orders for the civilian population to evacuate at the beginning of the war.”
“In a statement, the Shin Bet confirmed the details of Rantisi’s arrest and said he died in the detention center’s infirmary November 17, 2023,” the report noted."
Died in custody, someone should look into it.

After Rantisi’s death, “the Ashkelon Magistrate’s Court issued a six-month gag order prohibiting publication of all details of the case, including the existence of the gag order. The court order expired in May,” Haaretz reported.
The whole fucking system is screwed. Jfc.
69Not suspicious at all /s
22Only democracy in the Middle East, ladies and gentlemen.

I am so sick of these passive article titles. He was tortured to death. He was tortured and murdered. Call it what it is.
67Same.
It seems as childish as toddlers having broken something by throwing it forcefully on the floor and then pretending that they don't understand why the thing broke.
20I think they use passive headlines over concern about being sued for libel, but I agree. They really need to call the bluff, because if a party sues for libel, that party has to prove it's a willful lie. And that would be a very interesting discovery process.

So he was tortured to death by the Israelis. He didn't just "die" like that. He was tortured to death. Call it for what it is
40Prominent Palestinian doctor, Iyad Rantisi, was tortured to death by Israel
36This is so, so fucked up.
It's hard to grieve effectively in the face of so many tragedies. Here is another one.
35Horrible.
Just want to add another source here from an Israeli news source (Hareetz) also reporting all the major points from the above article.

Probably not a surprise, but the suspicious uninvestigated deaths don't end there.
31This is totally normal. People die under interrogation all the time in oppressive authoritarian countries. I don't know why Iran and Israel are fighting when they have so much in common.

27Very sad to see him go out this way.
27I got no horse in this race because I'm from Mexico and the USA, well maybe I got a pony since you'd have to drag me back to Mexico. But I digress.... let me correct the tit-Le. It should be "prominent Palestinian doctor, Iyad Rantisi (sounds like he really liked rants like me), was murdered while in custody by the Israeli army as they tortured him in a fake interrogation mostly a thinly veiled murder made to look like an interrogation. It's a long title but it gets the message across.
19I mean, if the words "Israel" and "interrogation" are in it, it pretty clearly conveys what you just described.

Yeah he was absolutely tortured to death. Fucking disgusting.
13And the White House is baffled by Netanyahu's claim about not supplying enough weapons to Israel. Is torture allowed under the Geneva Conventions?
11Israel really thinks they're going to get away with this kind of shit huh? No wonder Netanyahu is so mad about his Amazon packages
9They're getting away with it so far.
18Yes and no. They've since lost global support for their actions; in an unprecedented move they are now being closely investigated for war crimes in a state of the world where such courts want to maintain impartiality to sustain their verdicts against Russia in Ukraine. To me it seems pretty clear that the Biden administration wants nothing to do with Israel but is only willing to follow the polls of public sentiment as opposed to take an aggressive stance ahead of where the public is at.
In this respect, Hamas succeeded. Israel over-stepped and committed the equivalent of 30, 40, perhaps 50+ October 7ths. The widespread recognition that Israel is a far-right nationalist government and Bibi is trying to desperately cling to power and avoid conviction in ongoing criminal trials domestically will, hopefully, have serious repercussions in the long-term. Domestically, Israelis may also slowly be coming to the realization that their Democracy isn't so Democratic.
Both Netanyahu and Putin are closely watching, and actively trying to influence, these US elections.

Well His government has been getting away with it for a long long time. They're quite used to it.
17They will because they're backed by the US.
11They have been getting away with worse for decades.

Damn, and to think he could have died on Hajj in Saudi Arabia instead
