Israeli soldiers have subjected a one-year-old child in central Gaza to torture to pressure his father into making confessions during an interrogation, Palestine TV reported, citing Palestinian journalist Osama Al-Kahlout.

It aired footage showing injuries to the child, identified as Karim, after he was detained by Israeli forces near the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza.

While taking his child to buy supplies, he was caught up in gunfire near his home and was forced by Israeli soldiers to leave his 18-month-old son on the ground and approach a nearby military checkpoint, where he was stripped and interrogated.

The forces tortured the child in front of his father, including burning one of his legs with cigarettes, pricking him and inserting a nail into his leg, as confirmed by a medical report.

The report said the child suffered burn marks from cigarettes and puncture wounds in his leg caused by the nail.

I wonder what Ann Frank would have to say about them.

I wonder what her father would have said about it in his book.

It’s not even his book, he got someone to make it who he then didn’t pay and then took him to court

Imagine being capable of torturing a child? Hearing the screams and cry’s from pain that you’re inflicting and not having a reaction. Perhaps even worse and enjoying it?

That’s some evil shit right there.

something about religions and militaries only lead to institutions of the criminaly insane.

look at the crusades and you will see parallels.

They don’t see them as children. They’re just seen as “future terrorists”, and someTHING that needs to be cleaned up for their God given destiny to be fulfilled.

Could we develop some exchange rate, like for every instance of torture against a child, the offending party should be made to endure something like 10,000 instances of torture?

SGGeorwell@lemmy.world on 23 Mar 13:26 collapse

Israel already established the exchange rate.

Oct. 7th = 1,200 killed Gaza = 75,000 killed

One Israeli life is equal to 62.5 Palestinians.

Apparently.

Krono@lemmy.today on 23 Mar 19:04 collapse

This unequal exchange rate logic has been firmly established for decades.

“On October 18, 2011, captured IDF tank gunner Gilad Shalit, captured by the Palestinian militant organization Hamas in 2006, was released in exchange for 1027 Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.”

List of Arab–Israeli prisoner exchanges -Wikipedia

“Palestinian prisoners” have become a form of currency for the Israeli state. Whenever they start to run low, they just go to the West Bank and get more.

Okay, this is as evil as it gets. It’s the sort of thing that if the soldiers that did this are not publicly executed, it proves everything people are saying about the IDF

moustachio@lemmy.world on 23 Mar 16:28 collapse

Why would they be executed for this? They’ll be lauded as heroes in their morally depraved cesspool of a country

Palestinian propaganda channels are not trustworthy. I would not believe this without a better source.

That’s convenient, because Israel still isn’t allowing journalists into Gaza. There can’t be other sources, Israel has made sure of it.
