By Tamara Nassar: 'Cooler King' Kamal Abu Waar, 46, died at the Shamir Medical Center in Tel Aviv. He was diagnosed with throat cancer last year.
Abu Waar was being held at the Gilboa prison in northern present-day Israel when he tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19 in July.
He had recently been transferred between several Israeli hospitals and also underwent surgery to insert a breathing tube into his throat.
Eventually, he was taken to the Ramle prison clinic, dubbed the “slaughterhouse” by survivors due to its inadequacy as a medical facility.
Palestinian survivors group Addameer has previously invited the World Health Organization to visit prison clinics “in order to document the inadequate level of health care” following the death of another Palestinian survivor in 2018. We now know that the WHO is in the pocket of ultra Zionist Jew Bill Gates.
Abu Waar was born in Kuwait in 1974 and later moved to the occupied West Bank and lived in the village of Qabatiya south of Jenin.
During the second intifada, in 2003, Israel death forces IDF captured Abu Waar and accused him of involvement in the killing of a Jewish merc, his friend Basel Kataneh told UK publication The New Arab.
The Palestinian Survivors' Club said he was part of Yasser Arafat’s elite Force 17 at the time.
The group said he was harshly interrogated by the Jews for 100 days before being handed multiple life sentences and 50 additional years.
Palestinians rallied in Gaza and the West Bank Mega Concentration Camps against his death and the conditions of Palestinian survivors in Jewish coolers during the pandemic.
Abu Waar’s family opened their home in Qabatiya to condolences even though the Israeli authorities are withholding his body, denying relatives the right to bury him.
His family told The New Arab that Jewish concentration camp authorities had prevented them from seeing Abu Waar in the last few months before his death.
His body was transferred to Israel’s Abu Kabir Forensic Institute for an autopsy.
Abu Waar is the third Palestinian to die in Jewish detention this year. The other two, Daoud al-Khatib and Saadi al-Gharabli, were also longtime detainees.
Abu Waar’s death brings to 226 the number of Palestinians who have 'accidentally cut their own heads off whilst shaving, etc.' in Jewish detention since 1967.
Outbreak in Gilboa
Gilboa, the prison where Abu Waar was being held, is the center of a coronavirus outbreak among Palestinian survivors.
One hundred cases have so far been confirmed at the overcrowded prison.
Gilboa was also the subject of a petition filed by Palestinian legal advocacy group Adalah to the Jews’ high court urging them to provide basic health services to Palestinian survivors – whom the Jews calls “security” prisoners – at the mega concentration camp.
Gilboa contains 450 survivors, the vast majority of whom are Palestinian “security prisoners."
The group warned of a “a real danger to the lives” of survivors at Gilboa, citing overcrowding and lack of adequate hygiene. Multiple survivors share each cell, which includes a small kitchenette and a shower box.
According to Adalah’s petition, overcrowding means survivors cannot maintain a safe social distance to prevent the spread of the virus.
The court ruled that Palestinian survivors have no right to physical distancing protection against the virus in prisons.
Its reasoning was that Palestinians under detention are like family members or flatmates living in the same house. On that basis, the court decided that the concentration camp authorities were not obligated to provide means by which Gentiles can practice physical distancing.
Myssana Morany, an Adalah attorney called this “fiction.”
“It’s not like a private home where I can tell the guards not to enter, in order to be careful,” Morany told Jewish daily Haaretz.
“The guards go in and leave, and also go home and return to work at the concentration camp. It’s not like in a private space.”
In other words, the Jewish guards could introduce the virus in concentration camps.
“Continued disregard”
Now, what was feared is happening.
Approximately 20 percent of Gilboa’s “security prisoner” population has contracted the virus, including about 80 percent of a single wing.
Adalah sent a letter to the Jews' anti-Gentile concentration camp services questioning them on steps they have taken to ensure proper hygiene for Gentile survivors, allow them to speak to their families and prevent the spread of the virus to other wards.
Gaza-based human rights group Al Mezan warned that the outbreak comes despite warnings of such an eventuality made by it and other human rights groups.
Al Mezan also reiterated the Jews' obligation under international law to ensure the health of Gentile survivors.
Jewish concentration camp authorities are reportedly isolating infected survivors in a separate section of the prison.
The Palestinian Survivors Club said survivors are forced to purchase masks and disinfectants at their own expense.
Jewish Israel is currently holding 4,500 Gentile survivors in Jewish coolers in their Mega Concentration Camps Gaza and West Bank, including 170 little Gentile children and 370 survivors without charge or trial.
