Diana Buttu speaks to Palestinian survivors of torture by Israeli Forces

Abu Hamza told me about months of torture, of being blindfolded, with his body folded – knees and head to the ground for days on end; of being forced to drink urine and salt water whenever he requested water; of being denied food only to be then forced to eat food with maggots (he lost 30 kg – about 66 lbs) during his three-month abduction; of only being permitted to shower once every 50 days; of being forced to wear the same clothes for three straight months; of being beaten with a baton to the point of unconsciousness several times; and of Israeli soldiers breaking his hands and then making him crawl on all fours. “They enjoyed it,” he said. “I could hear them laughing and howling as they beat us.”

MAY 15 2024 - A Palestinian human rights lawyer with Addameer on the hardships and necessity of providing free legal aid and documenting human rights abuses.

"According to the Palestinian prisoner support and human rights association Addameer, there are 9,500 Palestinian political prisoners currently being held in detention." "We know that an alarming number of people have been forcibly disappeared and put in the two main military camps set up for this purpose: Sde Teiman and Anatot. Advocates are banned from visiting detainees, and the Red Cross hasn’t gained access to them either. " "We also know by official sources that more than 12 prisoners have been killed and — according to autopsies conducted by Israeli authorities — five were the result of torture. This number is only what has been officially announced." "In every instance of an uprising in the occupied territories, the IDF will make mass arrests to silence Palestinians raising awareness. With the genocide in Gaza, there have been more than 5,300 detainees held — which is an unprecedented number. People have been indefinitely detained without charges and without ever being presented in front of a court. Charges can be sparked by very simple things such as “incitement” on social media. The rationale behind these campaigns is simply to silence and repress." "Also, new legislation has been passed regarding “unlawful combat,” which means detainees in Gaza can be held indefinitely without charges, and lawyers can be barred for at least six months before being allowed to conduct a visit."

Free Palestinian detainee Kassam Atwan before and after his detention in Israeli prisons.

Investigations by Western journalists, including those from The Intercept, reveal that out of the 300 names released by the Israeli government for its truce captives talks, 233 names have not been convicted of any crimes; they are merely categorized as "under arrest," also known as "administrative detention." Most of these individuals are teenage boys, with 124 being under 18 years old.

There definitely are minors in custody, B'Tselem and the military have confirmed this here. Regardless of if you consider them a valid resource (it says "occupied territories" up above so YMMV there), these statistics were in fact released by Israel Prison Service (IPS), so I trust them to be accurate. (Or, if not accurate, then we know at least 226 are minors.) Of the 9,440 Palestinians in custody, approx. 226 of them are minors. A majority of these minors were detained because of doing shit like throwing Molotov cocktails, attacking Israeli soldiers with rocks, etc. Unfortunately a well-known IDF tactic in response to this is to collectively punish the family by destroying their house. I know many Palestinians personally who have had this done to them (one because her brother did indeed throw a Molotov at a soldier - but I think that the response of putting him in prison was fairly merciful - throw a Molotov at a US soldier or a cop and you are dead on-scene).

man i think if you’re counting “convicted rapists and murders” as “gazan hostages” you are uhhh how you say Divorced From Reality

hey you’re an uneducated idiot. you can easily triangulate some sources. i found several. here’s one

women and children were held prisoners in horribly abusive circumstances. tell me how that isn’t a hostage?

shut the fuck up

"After four days in detention, we were released. We were handcuffed and blindfolded. The Israeli soldiers kept torturing us. They even urinated on us. I was beaten, kicked and battered all over my body...

After that, we were released and as we started walking off on the asphalt, they threw grenades and fired a drone missile on us. Some of my men were killed. I ran for my life and miraculously survived."

#and they wonder why people come to hate them

#don't cry antisemitism

hey you guys know that the word criminal is not meaningful as an identifier right? like calling someone a criminal gives next to no meaningful information about them? and the label of criminal is merely a function of the state which assigns it?

"Last Wednesday, the Israeli Supreme Court held a hearing in response to a petition brought forward by Israeli rights group, HaMoked, to reveal the location of a Palestinian X-Ray technician detained from Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza in February. It was the first court session of its kind since October 7."

if people in israel can speak up against this genocide, as someone who will not be subject the legal repercussions they are likely to face, how can you stay silent?

Concentration camp.

They built a concentration camp.

I don't think words can describe what this other than genocide.

Hamas/Israel : four Israeli soldiers exchanged 70 Palestinians detainees

Hamas militants handed over four captive female Israeli soldiers to the Red Cross in Gaza City on Saturday after parading them in front of a crowd. Israel followed with the release of the first 70 of 200 Palestinian prisoners or detainees due to be set free as part of the fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Details by FRANCE 24’s Shirli Sitbon and Mark Owen.

horrific article from the bbc broke last about israel detaining healthcare workers, stripping them naked, and beating them for days on end. we already knew israel was doing this to palestinian detainees, but to be deliberately targeting medical personnel--doctors and nurses and medical assistants on the ground trying to heal wounded palestinians--and then literally torturing them are on levels of cruelty i can't even begin to compute.

a humanitarian law expert in this article calls the footage coming out of this "concerning." i call it the terms racists love to throw baselessly at arabs: barbaric and inhumane.

Human rights groups and international organisations have alleged widespread abuse of inmates detained by Israel in raids in the occupied West Bank, which Palestinians want as the core of a future independent state along with Gaza.
