Nothing to see here

Wanna get even angrier? Since the cease fire was agreed, Israel released 150 Palestinian people. In that time, they have also made 133 new arrests of Palestinians for the crime of…celebrating the release of Palestinians.

If this were done by a movie villain, people would criticize it for being too cartoonishly evil and unrealistic.

Watch carefully when you hear and see coverage about this. The people Israel had were "prisoners" while the people hamas had were "hostages."

This kind of subtle reframing of words happens all the time.

CBS Nightly News had a story that talked about the 150% increase (don't quote me on the actual percentage) in antisemitism acts, but anti Muslim sentiments were just "on the rise."

It's a double standard depending on who they're talking about.

I hate how people treat genocide and other crimes against humanity as a reason to take teams and treat it like "you're either with team a or team b".

Any comment here criticizing one thing is taken as approval of "the other team" and I personally find that horrendous.

They rounded up another 150 as they released those 150.

People who say they violated the laws here, don't understand what is mean to be apartheid state.

These state have laws and regulations that basically push groups of people until they leave the country or extents.

I would recommend reading more because any ruling party in your country can easily create laws to discriminate against a group of people that could be you.

Israel became worse than Hamas. I'm not saying Hamas are the good guys, both sides have killed civilians.

This video proves how Israel arrests these Palestinians for no reason whatsoever

You see, that's because Israel didn't kill the women and children...

Because even women and children can be convicted of murder/attempted murder...

u guys are by far the most racist uninformed bunch on lemmy, for a moment I thought I'm in qanon meeting. oh I'm in political memes? that explains it

The list includes the ages of the prisoners, and the charges on which they are being held - throwing stones and "harming regional security" are among the most common. Others are listed as detained for supporting illegal terror organizations, illegal weapons charges, incitement, and at least two accusations of attempted murder. Some of the people are listed as being members of Hamas and other Islamic militant groups, but many of the prisoners are not listed as belonging to any organization.

These women and children are convicted criminals, and their place is in jail.

None of the Israeli kidnapped hostages held by Hamas is a convicted criminal.

Maybe you shouldn't train your kids to stab people and they won't end up in jail.

My Mom taught me that one. Never forgot it either.

Oh, good, sexism with my morning lemmy.

So teenagers slingshoting stones at poliecmen heads or throwing 10 pound cinder blocks at cars windshield get slaps on the wrist in your countries?

Of course one can ask if you need to jail teenagers for throwing rocks at police and military. But asking 'how' is pretty simple: you can look it up. There are laws and if you violate them, you get jailed.

On the other side: maybe ask Hamas where their victims came from. What did the 23 Thai workers did wrong. Or the 10 Nepaelis.

...or even more depressing: ask them where they are. Rumors go around that Hamas doesn't know anymore where all hostages are. Since Hamas fighters where allowed to take individual hostages as trophy back home. You can only imagine what they might do to a single, young and beautiful woman whose only crime was to be at the wrong time at the wrong spot.

... Huh? What am I missing where prisoner exchanges aren't common in combat zones?

Why wouldn't they be evacuating women and children out of them? Especially in contested areas.

So are terrorists supposed to be only of adult male?
