Over the first four days of Israel-Hamas prisoner exchange, Israel arrests 133 Palestinians while releasing 150.

But the worry for Palestinian prisoners does not end after their release. The majority of those freed are usually rearrested by Israeli forces in the days, weeks, months and years after their release.

Dozens of those who were arrested in a 2011 Israel-Hamas prisoner exchange were rearrested and had their sentences reinstated.

Many of the women and children released during the truce have testified to the abuse they experienced in Israeli prisons.

Several videos have also emerged in recent weeks of Israeli soldiers beating, stepping on, abusing and humiliating detained Palestinians who have been blindfolded, cuffed and stripped either partially or entirely. Many social media users said the scenes brought back memories of the torture tactics used by United States forces in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison in 2003.

    I just imagine a world where the Jews who immigrated to Palestine didn’t force my family out at gunpoint and under the threat of massacre (Deir Yaseen) in 1947/8, that eventually led to their ethnic cleansing.

    But we can all dream.

      They also bombed the embassy in mandatory Palestine and were subsequently found hiding weapons and fighters in schools, hospitals and synagogues.

      We can draw comparisons but the more you look the more they look the same.

        You forget that Palestinians also have the right to defence, to self determination.

        Yeah, antisemetism is wrong, but so is Israel and apartheid. Israel is the one holding all the cards and killing the vast majortiy of babies, since this is the currency people care about now.

          holding all the cards Tsahal agree with that statement, they absolutely hold all the cards and could totally enter day 1 into gaza without abhorrent losses because they are super turbo skilled with their 40 year old gear

          If this is a 100 card decks the knesset holds like 3. They have 0 actual option but they don’t want to admit it so they cover their asses by littering gaz with high explosives
