PLO blames Israel for a prisoner with leukemia, bone cancer and heart problems dying in Israeli prison

"Six Orphans," protest in Israel against the murder of the Henkins in October 2015


The PLO's Department of Public Diplomacy and Policy, headed by Hanan Ashrawi, tweeted this:




I've looked at the statistics of Palestinian prisoner deaths recently and showed that the number is significantly lower than what one would expect from the usual death rates among the Palestinian population outside of prison. In other words, the medical care that Palestinians receive in prison is far superior to that of Palestinians in general.

The PLO, and Hanan Ashrawi, are lying.

The fact that she is tweeting this to the UN Human Rights chief and the International Criminal Court shows that, to Palestinians, everything must be politicized and weaponized against Israel.

And look who she is defending: Bassam al-Sayeh was convicted for his involvement of the murders of Eitam and Na'ama Henkin, shot by Hamas while driving with their children.

Moreover, al-Sayeh was suffering from leukemia, bone cancer and heart problems for years before the murder of the Henkins. During his illness - his first diagnosis of cancer was in 2011 - his priority was not to keep himself alive but to kill Jews. 

Not only did Israel no mistreat him, but Israel transferred him to a civilian hospital last month as his condition worsened.

This murderer is the poster child of Hanan Ashrawi, a hero to Palestinians and an excuse to bash Israel rather than to look at the bloodlust that Palestinians are taught from birth and in schools.
