At a military base that now doubles as a detention center in Israel’s Negev desert, an Israeli working at the facility snapped two photographs of a scene that he says continues to haunt him.
They paint a picture of a facility where doctors sometimes amputated prisoners’ limbs due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing; of medical procedures sometimes performed by underqualified medics earning it a reputation for being “a paradise for interns”; and where the air is filled with the smell of neglected wounds left to rot.
“It is better for them to die than to be captured and held here.”
I... these atrocities become more and more unfathomable. My brain can't process this insane disdain for human lives anymore. Reading this man saying that death is preferable to captivity is something I never wanted to read again. Nobody deserves this. Nobody.
