Tsk, tsk #38

Human rights groups have accused rival Palestinian security forces in the West Bank and Gaza of making politically motivated arrests and torture.

Al-Haq, a Palestinian human rights group, said torturing detainees was widespread in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip and the West Bank under Fatah.

Both the Islamist Hamas and nationalist Fatah have acknowledged failings but say the problem is being dealt with.

Avodah Aravit

"Avodah Aravit" is a phrase that is not very complimentary.

It translates as "Arab workmanship" and the implication is 'less than reliable'.

But sometimes, Israel really does need Avodah Aravit:

The Palestinian militant movement Hamas has accused Egypt of torturing members of the group who were detained after crossing from the Gaza Strip. A Hamas spokesman said security forces had demanded to know about Hamas leaders' movements and the location of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
