Occupied Jerusalem, Palestine -- Israel Defense Forces (IDF) doctors used
Palestinians bodies killed by Israeli occupation forces to give medics lessons
in anatomy according to new testmony by IDF soldiers.
An IDF conscript who served as a medic in the Ramallah district told the
Israeli Newspaper Haaretz that the "lesson" had taken place following a clash
between an armed Palestinian and an IDF force. The soldier said that the
Palestinian's body had been riddled with bullets. And the Israeli doctor
pronounced the Palestinian man dead and then "took out a knife and began
to cut off parts of the body," the soldier said.
He explained the various parts to us - the membrane that covers the lungs,
the layers of the skin, the liver, stuff like that," the soldier continued.
"I didn't say anything because I was still new in the army. Two of the medics
moved away, and one of them threw up. It was all done very brutally. I saw
other dead enemy bodies during my service. No other doctor did anything like
that."
The second report came from a soldier who served in Hebron in October 2000.
The soldier told Breaking the Silence that a comrade had fired live rounds
at a Palestinian youth, Mansour Taha Ahmed, 21, who was standing some distance
from a group of stone-throwers.
The soldier said he was firing rubber bullets at the stone-throwers when
he suddenly heard his comrade fire live rounds, killing the young man.
No Military Police probe was opened into the incident.
Israel since its occupation of Palestine in 1948 committed daily crimes against
the Palestinians in order to deprive them of their homes, settlement were
established illegally depriving the Palestinians from their homes and land.
Palestinian groups are waging a war of Independence from European Zionists
who occupied Palestine since 1948.
Note: The Crusaders occupied Jerusalem / Palestine for about 150 years before
they were driven out. |
