ISRAEL’S SUPREME COURT has ruled that the government has failed to provide Palestinian security prisoners with adequate food for basic subsistence, and ordered authorities to improve their nutrition.

The decision was a rare case in which the country’s highest court ruled against the government’s conduct in Gaza in recent years.

Since October 2023, Israel has seized thousands of people in Gaza that it suspects of links to Hamas. Thousands have also been released without charge, often after months of detention.

Rights groups have documented widespread abuse in prisons and detention facilities, including insufficient food and health care, as well as poor sanitary conditions and beatings.

Israel also routinely detains children and prosecutes them in military courts, a practice long-condemned by human rights organisations and the United Nations. The most common charge is for throwing stones, which can carry a 20-year sentence.

    In WWII, forces came in and found the concentration camps. And within, to their great surprise, they found emaciated Jews and other people, exposing the worst horrors of the Third Reich to the world suddenly and shockingly.

    Today, we have been watching the Israeli forces slowly become more and more vile and ruthless, filmed fully in real time and shown to us daily for two years. For decades the Palestinians have been second class citizens in their modern ghetto, scarcely able to leave.

    There will be no liberation of these imprisoned people. There will be no revelation moment. There are no Allied Forces coming to save the day.

    The sane world is powerless to save the people who need salvation.

    Edit: and before some dick weasel “akshuallys” this, yes. I know it’s simplified.
