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.

    One of the men identified as having been detained is a well-known Palestinian journalist, leading his employers to accuse Israel of carrying out “invasive searches and humiliating treatment” of civilians.

      “We’re talking about military age men who were discovered in areas that civilians were supposed to have evacuated weeks ago,” he said.
      Mr Levy added that they would be questioned to “work out who indeed was a Hamas terrorist and who is not”.
      He emphasised the detained men had been found in areas where Israeli forces had engaged in “close-quarter combat” with Hamas. They had been “deliberately disguising themselves as civilians” and operating from civilian buildings.

      They found them in an active war zone where they said anyone remaining would be considered a potential enemy combatant. They didn’t shoot them, instead they arrested them to determine who is a hostile. I guess the IDF is damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

        They’d be less damned if they stopped their relentless bombing, their overall invasion, had a longer ceasefire for refugees and medical and humanitarian aid, allowed food, medical supplies and humanitarian aid into Gaza, weren’t telling people to evacuate during these days and then bombing them, weren’t telling them to move to these neighborhoods and then bombing them, weren’t killing and kidnapping random Palestinians in Israel and the West Bank, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc …

          It’s almost like Israel was once again provoked into war, and all that that entails… cutting off supply lines, destroying enemy infrastructure, launching attacks against Hamas members who surround themselves with human shields, etc, etc, etc…

          • Israel has been letting in supplies and humanitarian aid to Gaza.
          • The IDF has been clear that they will attack Hamas targets wherever they find them, the evacuation zone is where they will consider anyone remaining to be a potential enemy combatant so it still makes sense to leave.
          • Any crimes committed by civilians in the West Bank need to be prosecuted, and I don’t know what you mean by kidnapping, but I presume you’re inappropriately conflating “random kidnapping” with military arrests.

            Gaza needed 500 trucks a day, Israel made sure they get less than that in weeks.

            Fuck Israel.

            Israel is now fascism.

            “Provoked into war” says the country with two fucking separation walls and a history of ethnic cleansing.

            Fuck off.

                No.

                Are you denying the Nakba?

                  You know that more than one provocation can exist simultaneously, right?

                  The Nakba happened because Palestine tried to destroy Israel and lost, so they annexed the lands of those who left. That also happened because of Palestinian provocation and violence. It seems a lot like this to me.

                    That’s a very shitty way to try to say “ethnic cleansing”.

                    Imagine if people said that about the holocaust…

        Israel loves declaring anything a war zone then arresting people there.

        I don’t think anyone had a problem with them being interrogated. It’s the stripping of them naked, completely unnecessarily, and mistreating them for hours that got everyone angry.

        The IDF should be damned, they don’t do defence, just apartheid.

          Yeah I’m sure they are doing this because it’s lots of fun not because they are at war with a force trying to destroy them. 🙄

          Have you considered they might be armed?

            Have you considered they are innocent until proven guilty and that what Israel did is shameful?

              You know that people are arrested before they are proven guilty, right?

                Are they also stripped to their underwear and forced to stay on their knees in an undisclosed location? 😬
