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.

    What makes you assume they are civilians, and shouldn’t this be verified? That’s the nature of war; It seems provoking one wasn’t the best idea. Strip searching them and arresting them is pretty humane considering the alternatives.

      For starters one of them was a journalist and he is still detained.

      Edit: I think you’re turning a blind eye to this. Look at the pictures again. Would a “democracy” do this? Or does it look more like something from a chapter in a history book?

          It should be stripped of this self-acclaimed title.

          It’s an illegitimate apartheid state

            You know that a “democracy” doesn’t mean “a good country”, right? Democracies can do war crimes just as well as dictatorships. It’s irrelevant.

            Edit: typo

              Yeah, you’re right… Israel is a shitty democracy.

              Edit: at a second thought, are you really a democracy if you run an apartheid system?

                The word democracy doesn’t mean good.

                Also Russia is a democracy and so is China. They said they are so they must be.

      They’re torturing and interrogating them. That’s literally the story here.

          Translation: “OH this inhumane treatment of Palestinians, noooooo, that’s just the special Israeli strip search technique! You strip them, you beat them, you make them do 5 minutes of montage, you take them to the desert, blindfolded, naked, humiliated, like a photo from a history book, and then you make then kneel for 3 hours. Meanwhile they have no idea where their wives or children are, and vice versa. They don’t even know what location we brought them TO. AND THAT IS THE GREAT AND AMAZING ISRAELI STRIP SEARCH TECHNIQUE. How dare you call this torture? They were KHAMAS suspects!!”

          It’s dehumanizing behavior, it’s literally in the Holocaust museum described as such.

          Every time I see your comments I just imagine Hitler trying to brush the holocaust under a rug.

            Then work on your reading comprehension, because this is nothing like the Nazis, despite your ilk’s constant attempts at making that false equivalency.

                I thought Never Again included everyone, but I don’t know. You’ll have to ask the people who use that phrase.

                Either way, this is not comparable. No one is trying to eradicate Palestinian Arabs.

                  Then why do we have mounting evidence that Israel is trying to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing? I think if you deny the mounting evidence, you must be pretty deluded.

                    Share it then. I can’t deny evidence you’ve yet to present, and I’m sure as hell not taking your word for it given the statements you’ve made here.

                    I’ve seen no evidence of genocide and I highly doubt Israel would considering their recent history.
