PA accuses Israel of prison "war crimes" while terrorists have lavish meals, university courses and access to Facebook.

Issa Qaraqe, the Palestinian Authority head of prisoner affairs, has accused Israel of "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" over its treatment of Palestinian prisoners.

Qarqa'a said that Israel is committing collective punishment against prisoners, arbitrary arrests, unfair trials, detention of minors, arbitrary administrative detention, and crimes of torture, ill-treatment and medical negligence.

He urged international pressure and and legal instruments to protect them.

As Daled Amos reported last May, here is the Facebook page of one of these poor tortured prisoners:

Here are some of the prisoners enjoying lavish meals that they prepared themselves:

I don't need to go into details of the absurdity of calling how Israel treats prisoners "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity," the most serious charges possible in international law that normally apply to genocide, wartime rape and similar horrendous acts.

On the one hand you can say that this Palestinian insistence that they are the most oppressed people on Earth is a sort of mass delusion, where they live in a permanent feedback loop bubble reading delusional news stories of how terrible their lives are even as they are living what can only be described as pretty decent lives compared to the average person on Earth.

On the other hand, this mass delusion is rewarded with attention from the media, sympathy from academia, support from NGOs and aid organizations who are diverting funds from people who are actually in real need.
