'The modern name "Palestinian hanging" might be derived from its use in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict'

The '''Biomedical Primate Research Centre''' (BPRC) is Europe's largest primate research centre, using great apes and monkeys in [[animal testing]] and [[vivisection]]. It is located in [[Rijswijk]], ([[Zuid-Holland]]) and employs about 100 people.

The BPRC is funded by the [[European Union]] and the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. Before it became an independent foundation on [[December 7]], [[1994]], it was part of the [[Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research]].

:Where the heck did you learn that from? I'm an Israeli and I've never heard of this. I understand that it's fashionable nowadays to attribute nazi-like behavior to Israeli soldiers (and to Israelis in general), but I think it's best to keep such nasty political agendas out of Wikipedia.

Around 1,600 monkeys and great apes — [[Rhesus Macaque]]s, [[marmoset]]s, [[Cottontop Tamarin]]s, [[night monkey]]s, [[squirrel monkey]]s and [[chimpanzee]]s — are kept there to be used in experiments involving [[AIDS]], [[malaria]], [[hepatitis]], [[xenotransplantation]]s, as well as organ and [[bone marrow]] transplantations.

BPRC's bank is [[ABN AMRO]], which is often attacked by [[animal rights]] activists, who also target ''Safaripark de Beekse Bergen'', which hosts the BPRC's breeding colony.

::There was a link to two forms of torture on the [[Torture]] article: strappado, and palestinian hanging. On review they were pretty much identical. Same torture, different historical context. I merged the two articles.

::Note the original article did <u>not</u> say a specific side used it. It says ''"In the conflict"''. Don't over-react and assume everything is partisan. I merged the two articles on the basis of identical descriptions. My personal assumption is, had it been used by Israeli's, it would probably be called "Israeli hanging". In other words... don't over react. Check your concerns calmly, before shouting foul. Okay? [[User:FT2|FT2]] 21:54, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

:::Exactly. I originally wrote the '''Reverse Hanging''' article and kept "Palestinian hanging" phrase unattributed to either side because I was unsure of how the phrase came to be (I also wanted to use "reverse hanging" phrase more, because of the nature of the "Palestinian hanging" phrase). I ended up editing it to ''"alleged use by Israeli forces"'' following additional information in the recent AP article that's also included in the article. Since it's used by other Middle Eastern countries, I would consider it a [[Loaded (language)|loaded word]], and I wouldn't be surprised if the phrasing originated from there, similar to the various national attributions of [[Syphilis]], usually to an antangoist.--[[User:YoungFreud|YoungFreud]] 22:26, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

::::Funny how an Israeli is so quick to deny that their army uses such techniques before anyone has even suggested that they do. &mdash; [[User:Chameleon|''Chameleon'']] 11:48, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::Given all the nonsense that gets talked about the Middle East, a little paranoia is quite understandable and forgivable; indeed, its complete absence would be amazing. After all, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you! [[User:Taxwoman|Taxwoman]] 11:59, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

== Picture ==

Is it me, or does the BDSM picture of "strappado" look nothing like the description given if it? Are we sure that's a good picture to put there? --[[User:Jacqui M Schedler|Jacquelyn Marie]] 02:52, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
