Conditions in Israeli prison in 1980s were “worse than Auschwitz” – top PA official libels Israel
Fatah Central Commitee Secretary Jibril Rajoub libels Israel.
Rajoub: "They [the Israelis] opened the [Nafha] prison on May 2, 1980. The prison's capacity was 80 prisoners (i.e., terrorists), and there were about 120 guards. The conditions, technology, control, rooms, living conditions, ventilation, food, etc., were worse than Auschwitz."

Jibril Rajoub was sentenced to life in prison in 1970 for throwing a grenade at an Israeli army truck. He was released in the Jibril Exchange - a deal between the Israeli government and the terror organization the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command (PFLP - GC), led by Ahmed Jibril. On May 21, 1985, Israel released 1,150 Palestinian prisoners, including terrorist murderers, in exchange for three Israeli soldiers who had been taken hostage by the PFLP.
