Israeli physicians reportedly aid torture by determining whether victims are “fit” to endure it and by *identifying physical and psychological vulnerabilities to exploit.* I’m not sure what else to say. mondoweiss.net/2024/05/how-...

As explicated in Addameer’s 2020 comprehensive study, Cell 26, prior to the start of a detainee’s interrogation, Israeli physicians collaborate with Shin Bet interrogators to “certify” or approve that they are “fit” to undergo torture. Throughout the duration of interrogation, a physician provides a “green light” that torture can continue. 

But the enabling of torture extends beyond a superficial “health check.” In their examinations, healthcare professionals look for physical and psychological weaknesses to exploit in a person. These weaknesses are actively shared with interrogators to help them break a prisoner’s spirit. 

Israeli doctors also conceal injuries they observe during torture. Instead of fulfilling their ethical responsibilities to report abuse, physicians falsify or refrain from documenting the physical and psychological effects of torture on a detainee’s body and mind — depriving victims of using potential evidence against their torturers.

Israel long ago lost any moral high ground. This before the invasion.

Israelis and Zionists aren't going to become good people if they get more land. They are going to become worse people with a new set of demands (for more land, and more expulsions of Arabs).

Call me imaginative or even delusional, but as I was reading this, I couldn't stop thinking of Joseph Mengele and other doctors of the Third Reich. To be fair, doctors in the USA certify that prisoners are "fit" enough to be executed and stand by as the executions (mostly very painful) take place.

You want to become a pariah state? Because that’s how you become a pariah state.

Yeah, we did this shit during the post-9/11 CIA black site torture. Not quite Mengele, but within shouting distance.

Nazi doctors have a long history of aiding torture.

The last doctors who did this were dropped through trapdoors at Nuremberg.
