Sadly israel directly kidnapped many of the Palestinian hostages again after releasing them.

The IDF kidnapped almost as many hostages as they released during the truce. Now more. And they torture their hostages whereas Hamas doesn't. And israel violated the truce at the start of it by shooting civilians returning north.

It's sad that the IDF are such an untrustworthy terrorist organization.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You have to hand it to them - lying that unashamedly is impressive! Hamas doesn't torture...yeesh.

If only every single hostage released by Hamas didn't prove my point am I right?

And every single hostage released by IDF terrorists says they were tortured, including women and children being starved, beaten to broken bones, threatened with rape, tear gassed in their cells for three days straight and being denied any medical care causing many to die am I right? (and that's just a few examples of IDF terrorist crimes)

;)

whereas Hamas doesn’t

Hahaha... Right... this is hamas. As you can see no torture.

You can stop shilling for the hamas already.

Which thing I stated wasn't true? (hint everything I said is true and you know it)

The Palestinian prisoners are not hostages. Comparing random civilians, elderly, and babies to convicted terrorists is Hamas level propaganda.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're disgusting. Just to clear the rest up, there are 1200 who are in "administrative detention", which is where they pick up a random Palestinian off the street and put them in prison. And in people who are charged, they're charged by a military court with a 95% conviction rate where the most common charge is throwing stones.

[–] i3c8XHV@aussie.zone 0 points 2 years ago

That is the same guilty rate as Israel's internal convictions and is caused by police not bothering with anything that is not an easy win.

The administrative detention also has judicial checks and limitations. Also, these are not random people picked off the streets, these are terrorists or would be terrorists where, for the most part, the evidence for detaining them is too sensitive from intelligence point of view to share in a trial.

If the Palestinian prisoners were convicted terrorists, then why did Israel release them? 🤔

https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2023/12/1/photos-palestinians-celebrate-release-of-another-batch-of-prisoners

"The prisoners – including 23 children and seven women – were released hours after eight Israeli captives were freed by Hamas."

23 kids and seven women... yeah, sounds like a bunch of die hard radicals!

[–] i3c8XHV@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

You're right, there are only security cameras of a few of these children running around stabbing civilians. I guess Al Jazeera forgot to mention that to you.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kidnapped children without trial are not hostages?

You can stop shilling for the Nazis now.

[–] i3c8XHV@aussie.zone -1 points 2 years ago

Detaining 15 year old children that stab civilians is also a valid way of describing the reality. Also, according to UN and Al Jazeera, a 17 year old self proclaimed Hamas fighter that tries to kill Israeli civilians with a AK is a child. Somehow you take it to mean that he is innocent.
