Israel Hasn’t Released Any of the Child Hostages it Has Kidnapped

[Wedonttalkaboutboris]

Israel hasn't released any of the child hostages it has kidnapped. Israel still holds 323 Palestinian children- Defense for Children International – Palestine (DCIP). As of March 31, 2025, the Israel Prison Service reported that 323 Palestinian children were detained in Israeli prisons. Of these, 119 children (37%) were held in administrative detention without charge or trial- the highest number and proportion on record since DCIP began monitoring these figures in 2008.

I also wanted to highlight some concerning facts about Palestinian children in Israeli detention, based on verified reports from human rights organisations.

• As of June 2025, around 360 Palestinian children are being held in Israeli prisons. About 41% are in administrative detention, meaning they’re held without charge or trial — the highest proportion recorded since 2008 (DCI-Palestine).
• Many face serious abuse: 86% report being beaten, 69% subjected to strip searches, and 42% sustained injuries during arrest (Save the Children).
• Allegations include verbal abuse, threats, and physical and psychological violence (DCI-Palestine).
• The UN has raised serious concerns about ill-treatment and torture in detention facilities, including Sde Teiman (OHCHR).

These children are entitled to protection under international law, yet reports show repeated violations of their rights.

WTAF?

You’re asking for evidence of something said in response to someone not being able to provide evidence of something they’ve alleged with no evidence?

Why deflect from the post which generated the response without answering it?

This emotionally manipulative crap in your last sentence doesn’t wash with people who don’t fall for Palestinian propaganda I’m afraid.

This insidious propaganda has cost lives in the UK and made Jewish people afraid to walk the streets.

Do you think there aren’t terrorists in Gaza with AK47s, and do you think they’re above sniping kids?

Certainly not above killing Palestinian kids over the past few days were they?

Additionally are you indifferent to the thousands of children killed in the Sudan, Yemen, Congo, Nigeria, Syria, Ukraine etc?

The hundreds of thousands of kids starving and millions of adults killed in those wars?

Or do you care as much as about Gaza?

If not, what might it be that makes you more interested in this war fo you think?

If you want to point out Israeli war crimes (of which there are many) then do so. But let’s not pretend most of them are innocent. They may not be adults but they are doing adult crimes and that can’t be overlooked

This idea that other peoples children are yours to “save” from their own families and culture makes me deeply uncomfortable. Is this not what happened to the Native Americans, to the Maoris, to the aborigines? If you wanted to help them would you be attempting to grind them into dust?

Yes, I read that some of them were locked up for throwing stones....

You can't give a straight answer can you?
This thread is about israel/Gaza, therefore no one is discussing Sudan etc etc.

How many threads have you started to discuss the genocides happening in other countries @TicklishMauveSquid?

Or are you only interested in constantly defending Israel?

I wonder why indeed.

I don’t particularly feel the need to defend any other country involved in a war because there is no other war with the magnitude of insidious propaganda, misinformation, outright lies, emotional manipulation, aggression, hatred and incitement to murder it’s citizens and non citizens (because they share a religion), as this one has generated.

You can wonder why all you like. I’ve already said I’m not Israeli, Jewish or getting paid.

Why do you defend Hamas?

What question didn’t I answer?

You didn’t answer mine.

Apparently they were quite big stones so…

Throwing stones? Do you not see how ridiculous it is that if you are an Israeli civillian you can shoot someone and kill them, you can batter an old woman and leave her in intensive care and nothing happens but if you are a Palestinian child who throws stones at an armoured vehicle you will get detained or shot. 2 sets of people living in the same place facing completely different justice systems based on their race.

They are children living under a system of apartheid, watching their grannies being beaten, their neighbours being shot and it's these children's 'crimes' of throwing stones at their overlords tanks that can't be overlooked? Damn right I would overlook a 14 year old child throwing stones at a tank of the people who force them to live under apartheid especially if it means them being sent to military prison and being abused. The 'crime' does not match the punishment. Israeli children who throw stones face no punishment at all, either stones are dangerous or they aren't, the ethnicity of the stone thrower doesn't change that, but some how it changes the punishment.

Israelis need to get their own house in order before detaining children because if their race in a land that isn't even theirs for throwing a few stones.

To shorten my post if two races commit the same 'crime' but only race gets detained for it, it isn't the 'crime' that they are being detained for. It's their race.

@TicklishMauveSquid, show me where I have defended Hamas?

Perhaps turn on the news instead of making inflammatory posts then.

I'd give a damn if I believed that you believe in the integrity of your stance.
However, calling detainees " hostages" and omitting the fact that the youngest of these children are 14 and the fact that is the age at which Hamas does not wait until adulthood to start training ' em up , suggests that you do not believe in your stance.
Emotionalism, the need to infantilise Palestinians and lying by omission and acting like any and every action committed by Israel in this war is unique to Israel and not typical in the Theatre Of War is typical anti Zionist low vibrationalism.
And the highly probable reason why Israel has not released these detainees is because Hamas does not find their being exchanged for a REAL hostage useful to their near future " endeavours.
In other words, Hamas needs as many of its highly seasoned operatives available as possible as the last two years have rightly not been kind to it.

Have you seen or heard what too many UK 14 year old boys are capable of in the UK and not even part of a gang, much less Hamas affiliated?

Israel belongs to Israelis.
Deal with it.
Israel precedes Palestine in word by thousands of years.
That is without the fact that Israel is a ratified sovereign nation , whilst Palestine is not and has never been one and has never been ruled by "Palestinians" ( because Jewish people in that part of the Levant were "Palestinians" too, did you know that? Just like there are Jewish Arabs!).
And the "Palestinians" are mostly Jordanian heritage, currently.

The Jews are the living people with the longest presence in that area, by faaaaaar.

And Arabs and Jews are both Semitic peoples. However, Anti Semitism is a term SPECIFIC to the oppression of Jews ( I just needed to get that in , in order to prevent the interminable anti Semitic appropriation of terminology specific or most commonly associated with Jewish Oppression historical and contemporarily.

All done by Pro Pals to minimise Jewish oppression and any incursion/ violation against Israel/Israelis/ Jews currently by Hamas/Gazans/Muslims/Islamists/Pro Pals from Oct 7th - today).
" A land that is not even theirs".
I must have missed the protests on behalf of the Native Americans from Canada, down to Argentina demanding everybody but the natives and the descendants of the involuntary " immigrant" slaves to leave those nations and to stop the to this day oppression and erasure and genocide ( REAL genocide. You know, the type where for some reason, more do not exist after, even decades or centuries down the line).

Still waiting on @TicklishMauveSquid showing me where I have ever defended Hamas. For such a prolific poster they have gone awful quiet.

Israel belongs to Israelis. Deal with it.

I have no problem with Israel belonging to Israel. These stone throwers aren't in Israel though, they are in the occupied territories throwing stones at military vehicles who are policing occupation and racial segregation.

It's a relief to see a thread on here not started and continued by pro-Israel posters. There may not be many of them, but they are extremely vocal.
