An Israeli doctor has accused his own government's detention system of medical abuse severe enough to cost prisoners their limbs and lives — damning for Israel, and a test of whether Western media will follow the story.

• A doctor wrote to Israel's attorney general and defense and health ministers saying detained Palestinians routinely lose legs to handcuff injuries.
• The letter describes prisoners fed through straws, left in diapers, and kept in constant restraints — practices it calls illegal under Israeli law.
• Settlers in the occupied West Bank cut off a spring that watered a Palestinian village and turned it into a tourist site, leaving nearby farms dry.
• More Palestinian civilians have been killed in the West Bank since October 7th than died that day, with little TV coverage.
• Grok's answers on Israeli history appear to have shifted, part of a broader push to shape what AI chatbots tell people about Israel.

Outlook: Expect the letter to stay buried in print and online reporting rather than reach broadcast news, and expect more pressure on AI systems to soften how they describe the war.
