Comment on Why is Israel detaining so many Palestinian children?

Alteon@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

It’s shameful. They hold these children in there, detained without a charge or trial. Israeli settlers are allowed to demonstrate freely in groups of up to 50; Palestinians can not gather in groups of more than 10 without a permit for anything that could remotely be considered political - Israel gets to decide if it’s political or not and just choose to let you rot in a prison if they so feel like it.

It’s essentially an open air concentration camp. They leave on water rations, whereas Israeli’s have no such restriction.

It was also found that Israeli leaders have been purposely doing this to maintain the status quo. It almost looks like Israel wanted an “enemy” that they can control and manipulate. What better way for a power-hungry, right-wing despot to maintain rule than to constantly be under attack by an evil, and relentless enemy (that you’ve secretly been supporting and monitoring).
