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.

      when you are not a french citizen, you indeed have less right in France than a french. The problem is the definition of Israel’s border is really blurry

        You’re not listening, Israel also classifies people based on religion and again there are nationalistically Palestinians in Israel. They’re forced to have citizenship but that doesn’t mean they identify as isreali.

        It’s not at all blurry, they’ve been defined by multiple nations and the UN itself.

        …because the Zionist Jew-Nazis of Israel have absolutely zero respect for any defined borders. They’ve defied the ones set up in 1938, 1947, and again in the 60s when the UN stepped in again. You can look at the progression maps over time, that 100% is the Jew-Nazis violating repeatedly the treaties set.

      No they don’t. Israeli Arabs are full citizens.

      Palestinians aren’t Israeli, which is the core of why this argument devalues the concept of apartheid.

        No one said they weren’t, I said they have fewer rights because it’s an ethnostate.

        There are Palestinian isrealis dumb dumb, as I’ve said before do research before you comment.

          … So palestine doesn’t exist/shouldn’t exist as a free state. No Israel is not an ethnostate because Israeli isn’t an ethnicity but a nationality made from ethnicity of all over the world including arabs. Palestinian is also a nationality.

          You see an ethnostate generally don’t have more than four current language in use

          It’s literally not an ethnostate if there are people of different cultures and ethnicities with full citizenship.

          There are Israelis of Palestinian origin. However, policies against the different nation of Palestine aren’t apartheid. They’re often bad policies, but apartheid doesn’t mean “dumb shit policy.”

            It is if they have fewer rights by law, that’s called apartied and makes it an ethnostate.

            Apartheid refers to the implementation and maintenance of a system of legalized racial segregation in which one racial group is deprived of political and civil rights. Apartheid is a crime against humanity punishable under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

            a state that is dominated by members of a single ethnic group

                Race doesn’t exist anyway on a scientific level, if we’re going to be tedious and specific it’s geographic phenotypical deviation.

            Full citizens with less rights. That’s like saying Jim Crow America was fine because African Americans were full citizens.

        You’re being pedantic. They are second class citizens of the State of Israel. They are rounded up and put into open -air prisons, and they do not enjoy the same rights as Ashkenazi Israelis. Israel is an apartheid state.

          This is not accurate.

          Gaza is not an “open air prison.” That is figurative language, to describe the awful conditions in Gaza.

          It is not a literal prison. No Israeli citizen is “rounded up and sent to Gaza.”
