With fighting raging around Khan Younis and in the north of Gaza, a video has emerged on social media showing dozens of Palestinian men detained by Israel.

      It doesn’t matter. Prisoners are out of the fight and should be treated humanely. Putting hoods on them and tying them up are control measures. Keeping their clothes is just a form of humiliation torture.

          Yes, the fact that they are all sat down with no clothes is very wrong. They should have had their clothes returned.

            Just a correction, they weren’t “sat down”. They were forced on their knees. It just gets uglier and uglier.

      The people released so far were civilians and reported other civilians and family members bought* there. One is a journalist, not released yet, no idea where he is. They are in undisclosed locations and their families don’t even know. No weapons were found or ceased. The IDF itself says they took them purely for being Palestinian men in the north. They pulled them directly from a refugee camp where families were sheltering. The women there were threatened at gunpoint. They didn’t “surrender”.

      Edit: typo.

          I mean, it literally violates the Geneva convention on POWs, even if they are Hamas it’s literally immoral either way

              fundamentally “but X does it too” is a whataboutism, Germany did the holocaust, does that mean we should have put the Germans in camps?

                  well since the Israeli government was doing it first, you could argue that Hamas is the one stooping down to their level, since the occupation and mistreatment of Palestinians in Gaza predates Hamas
