Obviously, this inmate isn’t Palestinian.

Mordechai Yehudai was awarded $1,000 from a lawsuit against Israel’s prison authority after he complained about his cell having cockroaches. Judge Irit Cohen wrote in her verdict, “The Prisons Service mistreated the plaintiff in a number of ways, including … broken windows, cockroaches as well as incarceration with smokers.”

A spokeswoman said Yehudai’s cell would be cleaned. “Prisoners have the right to sue us whenever they see fit and we comply with the court’s rulings,” she said.
