“Even after having released almost 2,000 people last week, the Israeli military is still holding about 9,000 Palestinians, in what it calls security prisoners or detainees,” says Sari Bashi, an Israeli American human rights lawyer and former program director at Human Rights Watch. “Only about a thousand of them have actually been convicted of any crime. The vast majority of people being held are being held without trial.” Bashi also says the genocide has “been hell” for her Palestinian husband, whose family is based in Gaza. Their relationship is chronicled in Bashi’s forthcoming memoir, Upside-Down Love.

    The Oct 7th attack was planned to capture Israli citizens that would be traded for the Palestinian hostages that Isreal had been abducting.

    JFC and instead of making the trade, the Zionist party chose to bomb Gaza to rubble, shoot their own captured citizens, and kill as many journalists as possible to cover it up.

    Isreal knew well in advance that the attack would happen. The Zionists chose not to prepare for the attack so that they could use it as an excuse to declare martial law so Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t have to go to prison for corruption.

      All of whom are military reservists or active miltary. That might be obvious to those of us who don’t live in a colonialist garrison state.
