When the police in Britain arrest violent criminals, do you refer to them as having been 'abducted'?

Show quote history

Interesting how you compare the abduction/kidnap of medical staff (who committed no crime) and other innocent civilians by the IDF, to violent criminals being arrested in Britain. 🤔 The fact that you will do this proves the type of person I am dealing with. I'm not going to engage with you any further.

They only gave a number, not the names if I'm correct.

It's quite unclear. The New York Times says "the list matches Israeli intelligence" which suggests that names have been provided.

@10UsernamesNotAvailableTryAnotherOne I very much have the same concerns as you. For those not familiar with how Palestinian detainees are kept in Israeli prisons better known as torture cells, should read this.

https://www.btselem.org/press_releases/20240805_welcome_to_hell

B’Tselem Executive Director Yuli Novak: “The Sde Teiman detention camp is just the tip of the iceberg. As we speak, thousands of Palestinians are being held in inhuman conditions and subjected to relentless abuse. Some do not know why they were arrested; many will be released without trial. This is the definition of a torture camp: a place that once you enter – no matter who you are or why you were arrested – you will be subjected to severe, deliberate, relentless pain and suffering.”

Well, they would say that wouldn't they.

It's horrific, isn't it? To think that this is allowed to happen in the 21st century is unbelievable to me. 😢

On the other hand, IDF sources say he was suspected of terrorist offenses, and we know that Hamas hid out in hospitals so there seems a good chance your doctor was collaborating with them.
I don't really care if you don't engage with me anymore, you're not answering my questions anyway.

Interestingly, it was Israeli whistle blowers who were amongst the first to shed light on the torture taking place in Sde Teiman, that's how bad it is.

Whatsinanamehey · 01/02/2025 00:03

Dr Hussam still hasn't been charged with any offences, nor has the IDF provided any evidence for their allegations. They have also prevented him from receiving any legal aid/representation or a welfare check.

35 MP's have signed a motion calling for his release.

I'm very glad that they chose to do the right thing. What they have done has been very helpful in shedding light on the horrors being committed there. I hope the people being held there are freed soon. 🙏🙏

This is not a thread about the Bibas babies, it's a thread about the ceasefire. Read the title, it's literally called "A ceasefire deal has been agreed". If the bodies of the hostages who died in Gaza are to be released, so should the bodies of the Palestinians who were tortured to death in Israeli prisons.

Show quote history

'DIED' WTF is wrong with you. If you're going to use such emotive language to talk about the deaths of Palestinians in custody then show some bloody respect for the Israeli hostages who have been intentionally killed i.e "murdered" whilst in captivity and state the fact.

I'm guessing he's not being released as part of the ceasefire deal, so why are you posting about him here on a thread about the ceasefire?

Shall we talk about Palestinian prisoners released in previous ceasefire deals, like Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Deif?

Wondering why this piece refers to UNWRA as Unwra?

I hope those who return find the strength to speak out just like Emily. The truth about what happened to the hostages, where they were held & who was complicit in their torture will be revealed.

Whatsinanamehey · 01/02/2025 07:42

Yarden Bibas and Ofer Calderon have been released and are now back in Israel!

Whatsinanamehey · 01/02/2025 08:32

Keith Siegel has also now been released. His wife was also held hostage and freed during the first ceasefire, she must be so relieved that he's finally coming home.

VolcanoJapan · 01/02/2025 09:26

Countrylife2002 · 31/01/2025 15:23

Yarden Bibas will be released tomorrow but not his wife and children, which perhaps ends hopes that they are alive.

I think his family have been dead for a long time and Hamas just playing games. Whether they actually say what happened to them is impossible to know.

I'm desperate for answers. A lot of other people are. He and all those who were abducted by the IDF must be released, too. I hope they're ok! Knowing what goes on in Israeli prisons, I am very worried for them. 😢 Autopsies on those who died in Israeli custody must be performed and thorough investigations have to be made.

Abducted? Arrested hth.

The Palestinian detainees have also been released. Some were serving lengthy sentences whilst a 111 detainees who have been released were being held without trial.

Do you realise that those serving lengthy sentences, as you put it, were convicted of multiple murders, including the killing of Israeli civilians?

The relatives of those murdered are distraught and find it repulsive that they have been released to jubilant scenes in the West Bank.

Igotjelly · 31/01/2025 15:48

I’ve wondered for a while if they’re dead. Either that or they’re considered such high value hostages that they’re being kept?

Show quote history

There's an update that Israel have demanded information of their condition from the mediators. This should hopefully give some much needed clarity. It's terribly cruel to not even state whether they are alive or not.

Whatsinanamehey · 01/02/2025 13:39

For the first time since May 2024 when the IDF took over the Rafah crossing, it has finally been opened today as part of the ceasefire agreement.

Some injured Palestinians who have been waiting for months to evacuate for medical care, are finally allowed to leave today via Rafah.

I don't agree with them being released but i think it's likely Israel will just re-arrest them again. That's what happened to many detainees who were released during the first ceasefire.

However, this cannot be ignored how appalling it is that thousands of Palestinians are held under administrative detention, without trial and many without even any formal charges. This apartheid practice really has to stop.

Whatsinanamehey · 01/02/2025 13:46

Majority of the detainees who were released today were detained under administrative detention.
