Israel arrests almost as many Palestinians as it has released during truce (www.aljazeera.com)

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: arrest

Palestine: kidnap

🤡

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

Im not defending the Israeli practice here, it's ridiculous and likely to make matters worse.

I can see how they would use different wording for a legal authority taking into custody specific people under their own jurisdiction, even if it's on shaky legal grounds, and people storming over the border, snatching people randomly off the street while randomly murdering others.

Again, this is not a defense of the Israeli practice, as even the article seems critical of it, but I could not justify calling these very disparate things by the same word.

The people arrested will have been charged, right?

[-] sirboozebum@lemmy.world 67 points 9 months ago

Thousands are under "administrative detention" which is imprisoned without charge.

That just sounds like hostages with extra steps.

Oh it’s okay, these people aren’t from Gaza. So they’re not related to the conflict going on.

This is just what day-to-day life for Palestinians is like under Israeli occupation. This stuff has been happening for decades.

No, no, no.

Just like there can't be such a thing as State Terrorism "because it's legal so can't be terrorism", there can't be State Hostage-taking "because it's legal"!

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.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

Being charged never says anything about anyone's guilt or innocence, anywhere.

When the primary medium of negotiation is of prisoner exchanges, I suppose you can expect humans to become currency.

Isreal is the terrorist of the human race.
