A squad of Shin Bet (also known as Shabak,the so-called Israeli
Security Agency) secret police agents snuck into a Palestinian hospital
at 3 am, with an agent pretending to be a pregnant Palestinian woman to
kidnap a wounded Palestinian man accused of being involved in a stabbing
attack two weeks prior. The man's cousin entered the hospital room and
was shot five times, killing him. (Israeli secret police and military
assassins seem to love impersonating Palestinians on their murder
missions, something often boasted about in accounts of their "daring
exploits.")
Compared with the bombings of Doctors
Without Borders hospitals by Israel's allies the U.S. and Saudi Arabia
in Afghanistan and Yemen respectively, this violation of international
law and civilized norms looks relatively minor. It certainly isn't
worthy of much note by the U.S. media, nor complaint by the complicit
U.S. government, which shares the guilt for all Israeli crimes, being
the crucial enabler of those crimes.
