    Palestinians in Israeli custody.

    https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/11/israel-opt-horrifying-cases-of-torture-and-degrading-treatment-of-palestinian-detainees-amid-spike-in-arbitrary-arrests/

    According to Israeli human rights organization HaMoked between 1 October and 1 November, the total number of Palestinians held in administrative detention, without charge or trial, rose from 1,319 to 2,070.

    Testimony from released detainees and human rights lawyers, as well as video footage and images illustrate some of the forms of torture and other ill-treatment prisoners have been subjected to by Israeli forces over the past four weeks. These include severe beatings and humiliation of detainees, including by forcing them to keep their heads down, to kneel on the floor during inmate count, and to sing Israeli songs.

      You understand we’re talking about this crew, right? You understand you posting this has zero relevance to the claim you made or the topic at hand, right?

        Sorry if I gave you the impression I was talking about the crew, but after you mentioned Hamas’s captives in general, my response was referring to Israeli captives in general.

          I don’t have disagreements with the point you’re making. I was just confused why the topic switched from the crew being detained to Palestinians being unfairly imprisoned. They’re not really the same thing.

          Regardless though, apparently Israel has routed the boat to Ashdod and is detaining the activists in a nearby facility until they get deported to their respective countries. So I guess this conversation doesn’t mean much since debating whether or not they’re hostages isn’t applicable anymore.
