Palestinian Hostage Released With Obvious Torture Scars; Western Press Ignores Him

JOHNSTONE

About this episode

A Palestinian man who was held captive by Israel for over a year has been released with horrific scarring all over his body. The man, Mohammed Abu Tawila, told local media that the marks came from his captors pouring acid and other chemicals onto his skin in order to torture him. One of his eyes was also destroyed, reportedly in a savage beating. You think you've seen the worst thing you can possibly see in this ever-unfolding nightmare, and then you see something like this. And of course the western press has nothing to say about it. If an Israeli hostage were returned with these signs of torture the entire western political-media class would demand that everyone in Gaza be exterminated with poison gas. But he's Palestinian, so they ignore him. Reading by Tim Foley.
