West Bank anger's on the boil. More on that below. Prison conditions haven't changed. Gulag harshness continues. Palestinians are incarcerated for wanting to live free.
Israel calls them terrorists. Rogue states operate that way. Israel's by far the region's worst.
Palestinians mourn Jaradat's death. Flags on King Hussein High School's roof fly at half mast. His brother Mohammed was with him the night he was arrested.
He viewed his body in the morgue. He remembers ugly bruises on his forehead and legs, swollen wrists, and blood stains in his nose. He was told his ribs were broken.
"Is it possible a person suspected of (stone-throwing) was tortured to death under interrogation," asked Levy."Did he really die in the solitary confinement cell at Megiddo Prison, or had he been transferred there after his death in Jamameh in order to blur the fact that he died under interrogation, as his family suspects?"
He was strong and athletic. He hadn't been ill a day in his life. He was a third year Al-Quds Open University student.
He didn't resist arrest. Neighbors said soldiers beat him anyway. They heard him scream. Days later, his family learned he was dead. He's Palestine's latest martyr.
He won't soon be forgotten. Palestinians demand justice. They've been protesting for days. After Friday prayers, thousands rallied supportively. They did so across the West Bank.
