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’m not defending genocide lol

    I’m disagreeing with you that genocide is happening. 20 years from now there will be Palestinians, ideally in a Palestinian state.

      I assume you’re a consistent piece of shit and deny the Holocaust for the same reason?

      Again, the definition of genocide has already been met. You can’t blame the Muslims for that one unless you’re going to tell me they already managed time travel.

        Why do you guys always get so psychotic lol

        If Israel was attempting genocide, don’t you think they’d be… Better at it? They have unchecked military superiority.

          We still have Jews in Europe - are you denying the Holocaust, or is the standard you pretended to care about to dismiss the UN definition of genocide a lie?

          Israel needs the support of the US - they can’t act in an unchecked manner, which is why it’s been a slow burn until the anti-Israel extremist group they backed to displace the moderate created the pretext they needed to escalate things.

            Let me be very clear.

            There was undeniable intent at extermination of Jews.

            There is no intent to exterminate Palestinians. Israel has shitty doctrine that results in unnecessary and excessive casualties and escalates their own problems. This, coupled with poor foreign policy, is worth extreme criticism. They are not, however, intentionally exterminating Palestinians.

              Others have presented the receipts - this isn’t a reasonable line to take, and doesn’t explain things like why they’d back Hamas to displace more moderate PLO-aligned orgs. Manufacturing pretext does.

              Netanyahu quoted from First Samuel 15:3, saying, “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. ‘Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys’”
              The invocation of this biblical passage serves not only as a historical reference but also as a genocidal lens through which the Prime Minister views the current conflict.

              Who is saying they literally want to wipe who off the earth again?

              Do I really need to go find all the other Israeli officials very literally calling for all Palestinians to be wiped out?

              There is no intent to exterminate Palestinians.

              Bullshit.

        You do realise that the world jewish population has not yet recovered from the Holocaust. Meanwhile the Palestinian population, Gaza included is booming. By the way every way it makes likud speaker sound more deluded about their grand israel hit

          I’m not the one fronting a definition of genocide that denies the Holocaust.

          I’ve linked the UN definition of genocide, which this meets.
