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.

    I can’t help but wonder what Isreal is doing to these prisoners to need such a consistantly high number of men, women and children (that they call sub-human animals) at hand.

    We already know Isreal steralises black jews and stole shephardic babies from their mothers to rehome in ashkenazi fanilies. And that Isreal tests weapons on the remaining Palestinian territories and Gaza.

    Are the imprisoned Palestinians really only there to be starved, raped and beaten by the guards and to break the moral of the unimprisoned Palestinians?

    Because at this point I would not be surprised if we start hearing of a new virus or sterility or something equally as fucking Mengeler being reported from Gaza in the next few weeks/months.

    (Just re-read this and had to reword a section as I realised I wrote ‘Palestinian settlements’ and as it’s their fucking country and the Isrealis are the settlers, that is not a phrase I want to consciously use.)
