Palestinian Men And Boys In Gaza Describe The Torture, Humiliation, And Dehumanization That They Suffered

Palestinian men and boys in Gaza describe the torture, humiliation, and dehumanization that they suffered during their time as captives of the Israeli occupation forces. “They forced us to make dogs’ sounds,” one man tells the camera. “If you refused to do so, they would beat you.” Another tells the reporter, “When they saw us falling asleep, they would come with a lighter and burn our backs with it.”

“Every hour was like years,” the same man says. “The torture was unbelievable.” Reports have emerged in recent days of mass roundups, torture, and execution of men and boys in Beit Hanoun and other parts of north Gaza. Detainees were identified by loved ones and others in the community who recognized them from the photos the occupation forces have been releasing.

As more footage and testimony are released, the depth of the horrors inflicted upon our people in Gaza are being brought to light. While we may never know the full extent of those horrors, what we already know is enough for any person of conscience to be able to identify as war crimes that are as depraved as they are systematic.

“My message for the world is to look at those detainees,” the final detainee tells viewers. “We are respected people. We are not animals.”

Watching something about conspiracy theories like:

-that’s nazi propaganda

-that’s been proven to be not true

-you might be on to something, but you need to bring it back about two or three notches

I think bringing up "it/its" pronouns is a good test for people who claim to be "trans allies" because it so easily weeds out the people who are only doing it superficially. I've seen so many people who will post "Punch your local TERF #transrightsarehumanrights" and then turn around and be like "If someone says they go by 'it/its' pronouns it's actually good to misgender them because they're just teenager trenders"

After returning to northern Gaza, we were shocked by the scale of destruction that has devastated our city. No home is left standing, and our only shelter is fragile tents that barely protect us from the cold and hunger. There is no food to ease our children's hunger, no clean water to quench our thirst. Our little ones are wasting away from malnutrition, and our days pass without the basic necessities of a dignified life. We are trapped among the ruins, struggling to survive in a reality that knows no mercy Please help and support us. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a big difference.
