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.

Israel is an illegal apartheid state. And they are committing a genocide.

Lol both of these are wrong though.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Here you are, lying on the internet again - I can't say I'm surprised at your lack of integrity - you're a fucking genocide denier.

The UN disagrees with you on both points.

  • Palestinian casualties in the "conflict" are pretty squarely in-line with the broader Palestinian population, making it pretty indisputable the IDF is indiscriminately killing Palestinians, not targeting Hamas.
  • The Netanyahu administration has been spouting all sorts of genocidal rhetoric.
  • The Netanyahu administration actively propped up Hamas over moderate orgs. Seems like someone needed a pretext for the thing they've been trying to do for decades.
  • The Netanyahu administration has indiscriminately halted the movement of Palestinians, and cut water, power, food, trade and aid. Some of these have been restored thanks to international pressure - open war crimes and whatnot.
  • The UN has characterised the Netanyahu administration'so management of Palestine as an open air concentration camp.
  • The IDF has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians - a major share of those deaths were children.
  • The IDF lies relentlessly - tunnels built under the Al-Shifa hospital by the Israeli government? No - that was Hamas... But Hamas beheaded all those babies - trust us, bro - we've got the evidence, but can't share it or have it verified. Then there's the Arabic calendar nonsense, the "hospital" curtain bullshit, the list goes on.

Some of these have been restored thanks to international pressure

well that's impossible as every country except the free republic of Iran are turbo zionist^and that's why shooting their citizens is justified

he IDF is indiscriminately killing Palestinians, not targeting Hamas.

Can I call that an "act of resistance" ? Yeah no would be pretty fucked u

But Hamas beheaded all those babies

the tabloid who made up that claim is now making its main title about how israel is genociding gazans.

tunnels built under the Al-Shifa hospital by the Israeli government?

If you really were not feasting on Tsahal propaganda you would realise their first lie was "we can absolutely enter gaza and destroy the HAMAS" so except if they lost two brigades before october I can't really see how they could have built the tunnels

but can’t share it

they hamas did share the videos, the strafing cars, the gunned festival goers... the rape. Then Tsahal shared the pictures : the bullet ridden cars, charred corpses

But don't worry, you're right,the War of Liberation is glorious, the war is just, the war is fair, the war is just, the war is beautiful

Strong opener there.

Can I call that (the IDF indiscriminately killing Palestinians) an "act of resistance" ?

You could call a nuclear power occupying a territory, and operating it as an open air concentration camp, restricting water, power, movement, food, and trade, killing the people there an act of resistance, but you'd look pretty silly.

the tabloid who made up that (beheading babies) claim

The IDF isn't a tabloid that's publishing headlines about their genocide.

I can't really see how they could have built the tunnels

I won't bother with the evidence - I'll just point out that you're defending bombing a hospital... To achieve what?

they hamas did share the videos

Of the babies the IDF lied that Hamas killed? No.

If you weren't desperate to defend a genocide, you wouldn't have to say such stupid shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The IDF isn’t a tabloid that’s publishing headlines about their genocide. You don't know who even called out the falsety of that claim first

No. Yes reality does not exist . So I guess the videos they took of themselves raiding those kibbutz or machinegunning cars does not exist

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Lol the real countries of the UN agree with me. The extremely united and extremely politically manipulative Muslim bloc doesn't. Who cares what totalitarian hellstates think lol.

I skipped the rest of your message because you were wrong in the first sentence.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ah yes - the Muslims don't count... Nor does the definition of the word genocide, or the US strategic interests in propping up Israel...

Got any more of those feels for me? You're a less effective liar than most backing this genocide, so there's probably benefit to you parading your dopey bullshit around for all to see.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Lmao it's less that they don't count and more that they hate Jews.

You ever gonna realize you'll never upset me?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol this comment's going to age beautifully

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We'll see! Does lemmy have remindmebot?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no they actually barely even reach the level of the poor victim of evil NATO that were the Bosnian serbs in 99

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do the Bosnian Serbs have to do with the Israeli genocide of Palestine?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

that is called an exemple. People who have culture can use those.

Fuck they should have closed the sites to redditors

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

One must learn to accept being upset at one's self sometimes. It might help you see the genocide.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The US strategic interest actually aren't in propping up Israel, Technically they are in propping up Lebanon. Their interest is forbidding the current administration of Palestine to have anymore power

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The arms supply, funding, military bases, and Evangelical need for the Jews to occupy that territory for the rapture disagree with your analysis.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Rapture is an evangelical protestant concept. "Evangelical" only applies to christianity. Learn correct vocabulary

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't it funny that those opposed to the UN are usually also trying to sweep a massacre or two under the rug?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lol yes absolutely.

If Israel doesn't want to be called an apartheid state it should stop its apartheid.
