🙏 Watch as ‘Middle East’s only democracy’ takes hundreds of young Palestinian men hostage

The disturbing footage, shot in the West Bank city of Tulkarm, shows a stream of men shuffling slowly in a line, their arms on the shoulders of those in front of them, as armed troops and vehicles patrol.

😮 The men were taken from streets, shops and cafes and out of their own vehicles and directed toward military checkpoints. A curfew was imposed across the city and detentions continued late into the night.

The pretext? An IED attack claimed by Hamas and Islamic Jihad which wounded two Israeli soldiers.

❌ Online, observers dubbed the detentions “collective punishment” and accused Israel of behaving “like the Nazis, their model.” Others expressed fears that “this will be America next.”

Israel’s detention and prison network is notorious for its unsanitary and squalid conditions, lack of legal representation, Hebrew language-only trials and the imprisonment of minors as young as 12.
