These libels are essential tools to demonize Israel using the highly sensitive subject of Palestinian prisoners.
Contrary to the PA libel that Israel performs these experiments and tortures Palestinian prisoners, this former prisoner explains that the prisoners in Israeli prisons "lack nothing":
PA TV Host: "You were in Megiddo [prison]. How are the guys?
You were released from prison just today."
Prisoner: "By Allah, the guys in the prison are fine. They lack nothing. They are doing fine."
Host: "Do they lack nothing?"
Prisoner: "They are doing really fine."
Host: "They lack nothing, not even freedom?"
Prisoner: "No. Freedom, Allah willing, there will be freedom."
Host: "How long were you in prison?"
Prisoner: "Two years."
Host: "And you say that they lack nothing?"
Prisoner: "I don’t know." (source)
