“The time has come for the United States to join the international community in condemning these crimes and demonstrating that it does not deem Palestinian life less sacred than Israeli,"

WASHINGTON DC -- Islam Online
Israeli military occupation authorities delivered Tuesday, January 3, the mutilated bodies of three Palestinian teenagers, to the Palestinian Authority, sparking American Muslim calls on Monday for a U.S. inquiry into the systematic targeting of Palestinian civilians by Israel.

According to doctors at Al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip, the Israelis tortured the youths to death.

The teenagers were abducted December 30 and Israeli authorities issued death certificates three days later.

Doctors report that the boys' bodies were severely mutilated, with marks of torture evident all over their bodies.

According to Dr. Mu'awyeh Hassanain, 16-year-old Mohammad Lubad's body was returned with "no skull, no brain, and no eyes, just the skin of his head. It was a scene that I cannot describe," the Palestine Media Center reported.
