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.

If you are a human being and not a bot, please get outside of your propaganda bubble and educate yourself. Israel's "prisons" are today's concentration camps, holding thousands of women and children without charges and evidence, not just "fighters."

If Israel's behaviour is not collective punishment (in contravention of international law), then answer why the IDF has even kept the dead bodies of their Palestinian hostages in numbered graves or refrigerators instead of returning them to their families. Answer why Israelis have been livid with Netanyahu's administration. Even if they don't fully see eye to eye with the rest of the world on this, even many Israelis understand the Netanyahu gov't, settlers, and the IDF are the ones doing the most to put innocent Jewish people in the way of harm.

I'm spending my whole fucking time telling privileged glorified nazis that no one loves that fucker back there ! Mostly because if his shit go on i'll have to attend the funerals of many friends because he dragged them in his mess and have been doing that for all of his office ! I know that. That's everything I'm telling. The problem is that most of the time when I start to agree with some internet people on that they immediately try drag me to : "you should be glad they're gonna kill your friends".

Meanwhile I see "pro-palestinians" repeating actual IDF propaganda lines. And behaving EX-ACT-LY how the Likud NEED you to behave because their only goal, is exactly the same as the HAMAS : to continue that war as long as possible.

And I'm in a state of fucking despair BECAUSE EVERYONE ON EARTH DECIDED TO BE FUCKING DUMBASS AND TAKE THE ROAD THAT WILL KILL A MAXIMUM OF PEOPLE IN THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY !

So wake the fuck up. Don't listen to the Likud. Don't listen to the HAMAS and stop repeating their bullshits.

Even if they don’t fully see eye to eye with the rest of the world on this, even many Israelis understand the Netanyahu gov’t, settlers, and the IDF are the ones doing the most to put innocent Jewish people in the way of harm.

And can you guess why the hell is that. Why is the world blind to the fact that benny has less support the Emmanuel Macron. Because Nethanyahu greatest victory was to not only successfully lies to his allies but also to his ennemies.

If you would like to see peace happen, then for a start, reject ALL of Likud's divisive and harmful lies and propaganda. You're repeating it yourself with the woefully inaccurate and incredibly politically charged terms of exchanging "fighters" for "children" framing. Palestinians-- many of whom are literal children-- are just being rounded up wholesale, including in the West Bank where Hamas doesn't exist. How can you call them "fighters" without charges, without evidence, without a trial... only on the word of the same IDF whose members have been proudly posting videos of their own war crimes? Wasn't it supposed to be never again for anyone?
