With fighting raging around Khan Younis and in the north of Gaza, a video has emerged on social media showing dozens of Palestinian men detained by Israel.
You know who these “Palestinian men” are?
Civilians, most likely. Why, are you okay with treating ANY human being like this?
But of course the IDF won’t say who they are or why they are holding them in this position that with all honestly invokes images similar to the holocaust or some other fucked up human tragedy.
Edit: I think your comment is quite shameful. It is an attempt at excusing Israel’s humiliating treatment of Palestinians. If you read the article, these people were arrested for simply being men and for being in the North of Gaza… And yeah, you’ll probably think anyone in the north deserves to die after Israel told people to evacuate… Even though it bombed them in the North and South and in their homes and shops and streets and everywhere they go. Fuck Israel. Zionism is facism. This is facism. And supporting it is supporting a Hiterly figure who dehumanized Palestinians like Hitler dehumanized Jews. When I see someone see these images and still excuse the crimes of Israel, it makes me hate living in this world.
What makes you assume they are civilians, and shouldn’t this be verified? That’s the nature of war; It seems provoking one wasn’t the best idea. Strip searching them and arresting them is pretty humane considering the alternatives.
For starters one of them was a journalist and he is still detained.
Edit: I think you’re turning a blind eye to this. Look at the pictures again. Would a “democracy” do this? Or does it look more like something from a chapter in a history book?
They’re torturing and interrogating them. That’s literally the story here.
No, they’re not civilians, they’re Hamas members came out of tonnels Northern Gaza when IDF have started to flood them with sea water
And how else is IDF supposed to make sure that they don’t have any weapons?
And it’s not even comparable, stop equating things with holocaust, it’s really disrespectful
Do you have a source or is all this bullshit pouring out of your ass?
What’s disrespectful to the holocaust IS TO FUCKING REPEAT IT AND CLAIM THE HIGH MORAL GROUND.
And it’s not even comparable, stop equating things with holocaust, it’s really disrespectful
Just FYI, holocaust denial began during the holocaust. The denial of this genocide of Palestinians is also happening during. Do you know how many Germans couldn’t get themselves to believe the atrocities committed by their government? Do you want to repeat the same today?
Dude, that report literally said one of them was a well-known journalist.
Ya they are men from Palestine. Doesn’t make them Hamas because I doubt the IDF are taking prisoners of war. They bomb hospitals and refugee camps. Taking a enemy combatant alive isn’t their MO.
That’s the point, not all Palestinians are members of Hamas, it’s sad that people equate between the two.
Not really.
And Israel does takes POW, how else would it get to know where Israeli hostages are?
One of the men identified as having been detained is a well-known Palestinian journalist, leading his employers to accuse Israel of carrying out “invasive searches and humiliating treatment” of civilians.
“We’re talking about military age men who were discovered in areas that civilians were supposed to have evacuated weeks ago,” he said.
Mr Levy added that they would be questioned to “work out who indeed was a Hamas terrorist and who is not”.
He emphasised the detained men had been found in areas where Israeli forces had engaged in “close-quarter combat” with Hamas. They had been “deliberately disguising themselves as civilians” and operating from civilian buildings.
They found them in an active war zone where they said anyone remaining would be considered a potential enemy combatant. They didn’t shoot them, instead they arrested them to determine who is a hostile. I guess the IDF is damned if they do and damned if they don’t.
They’d be less damned if they stopped their relentless bombing, their overall invasion, had a longer ceasefire for refugees and medical and humanitarian aid, allowed food, medical supplies and humanitarian aid into Gaza, weren’t telling people to evacuate during these days and then bombing them, weren’t telling them to move to these neighborhoods and then bombing them, weren’t killing and kidnapping random Palestinians in Israel and the West Bank, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc …
Israel loves declaring anything a war zone then arresting people there.
I don’t think anyone had a problem with them being interrogated. It’s the stripping of them naked, completely unnecessarily, and mistreating them for hours that got everyone angry.
The IDF should be damned, they don’t do defence, just apartheid.
