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.

      Sounds like you thought that Hitler didn’t go far enough with “exterminating the jews” by calling all Jewish people nazi terrorists

        This whole “associating a group of people with a government/country” thing is kinda fucking whack. Your everyday jew is not going to be celebrating the shit Israel does any more than your average Palestinian will celebrate Hamas’ doings. Why the fuck would you imply antisemitism on the very notion of criticizing a government that oppresses its neighbors and steals their land? OP didn’t even mention jewish people, they mentioned Israel specifically. Israel doesn’t speak for all Jewish people, just like Hamas doesn’t speak for all Palestinians.

          Israel is their ‘promised land’. It is more about religion than people would like to admit.

          And while I agree there are a fair amount of Jewish people that are essentially like lapsed Catholics and Christians that don’t buy the full text word of the Bible/Torah, it is essentially wrong to argue that it is NOT a part of their religion when it absolutely IS.

          I’m drawing some very obvious parallels in how they were treated and how they treat the Palestinians.

      What that other person said, but also being charged under Israeli law doesn’t prove much about a Palestinian’s innocence or guiltiness. The word Apartheid is an understatement of what’s going on in Palestine.

        Do not downplay the term Apartheid like this. The conflict between Israel and Palestine and the clear mistreatment of civilians is bad enough without lying. About 1,6 million Palestinians are Israeli citizens, they number about 20% of the total population and live and work anywhere and anything in Israel without segregation. Some thousands of them volunteered for the Israeli army and are fighting against Hamas. None of that would be possible in an Apartheid state.

        War is bad enough; there is no need to label everything with misused terms like „Apartheid“, „holocaust“, „genocide“.

            when you are not a french citizen, you indeed have less right in France than a french. The problem is the definition of Israel’s border is really blurry

              …because the Zionist Jew-Nazis of Israel have absolutely zero respect for any defined borders. They’ve defied the ones set up in 1938, 1947, and again in the 60s when the UN stepped in again. You can look at the progression maps over time, that 100% is the Jew-Nazis violating repeatedly the treaties set.
