In the "Modern Instances" section, the article states that in 2017 that form of torture was used by the Iraqi Army. There is a unique source (RT.com) which I don't think is sufficient given usual criticism against RT. Whilst I do not have better sources, I find the RT article to raise quite a few questions. In particular, I find it rather hard to believe journalist(s) managed to get such high quality photos taken with the approval of army officials and then had to sneak out of Iraq because the government would have disapproved. Are there other sources that would confirm/infirm the claim? I'm flagging the information as dubious in the meantime. (no doubt horrible things happened in Mosul but it's not the role of WP to relate unverifiable facts). This news story http://abcnews.go.com/International/deepdive/brian-ross-investigates-the-torture-tapes-47429895 is another report based on the same photos. I can't vouch for accuracy though.

'The modern name "Palestinian hanging" might be derived from its use in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict'
Whether you characterize use of force by the Israeli military "nazi-like" is your opinion. There is certainly enough documentation to show the Israeli military has systematically employed tortured against Palestinians at various times. In fact, torture was legal under Israeli law until 1999. Just because you're Israeli doesn't mean you know everything about Israel. It's not too hard to go to the B'Tselem or Human Rights Watch websites and learn about the Israeli military. -HeatherRes1514

In the attached illustration of midieval use of the torture, why do the victim's eyes look so odd? A blindfold? Or a side effect of the tortrue itself? 50.180.19.238 ( talk) 14:50, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
