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.

    You’re too disconnected from reality to be upset by having it held up in front of you, but that doesn’t make you any less wrong, monstrous, or stupid.

    Israel cleanly hits just about every point on the UN definition of genocide - and they only need to check off one of them. Cope harder.

        Those boxes have already been checked - unless the IDF is working on time travel so they can go back and undo their genocidal bullshit, I don’t think my point will be harmed by revisionism and more denialism.

            About the fucking time travel? How do you manage to spell with your intellectual capacity?

            From Article II of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

            In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

            • Killing members of the group;
            • Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
            • Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
            • Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
            • Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

            Maybe they’ll travel back to 1948, kill the evil Muslims that wrote the convention, and prove you right.

            …Why are you engaging in such stupidity to defend genocide? You love the thought of dead Muslim kids that much?

              So first, there three missing points but agains we can agree that its sufficient to call genocide. But that mean several things, the first one. The same UN defending Palestine committed genocide against the Serbians

                Not that it matters, because the standard is any of those points, but which 3 don’t you think it meets?

                I’m not familiar with the claim that the UN committed genocide against the Serbians, but if true, that would be bad - what’s your point?
