"This is my teacher, Ibrahim Al-Shawish, from my hometown, and one of my high school teachers. He was arrested by the Zionist occupation during the genocide and was released today"
The before-and-after images of Ibrahim Al-Shawish speak volumes about the inhumanity of his detention. A teacher—someone who shapes the minds of the next generation—reduced to this state is a grotesque indictment of a system that thrives on dehumanization. Torture, starvation, and psychological torment are not tools of justice; they are weapons wielded by those who fear accountability.
This isn’t just about one man. It’s a snapshot of a broader machinery designed to break spirits and erase dignity. Yet, even in his frailty, Al-Shawish’s release is a testament to resilience. The question remains: how long will the world avert its gaze while such atrocities persist? Those complicit in silence are no less guilty than those who inflict the harm.
I wonder what the names of the Israeli concentration camps will be that are taught about in high school...
How do you say "Arbeit macht frei" in Hebrew?
EDIT: According to Google Translate it's העבודה משחררת אותך
the Israelis learned too well from the holocaust
When I was in the equivalent of highschool we went to the KZ Dachau where I saw picture of victims who looked like that.
The testimonies that struck me the most since October 7, I believe, are these two:
The fact that after juste one month the guy looks dead inside and unable to talk is just horrible (and they re-arrested him 2 months ago...)
Israel concentration camps are on Assad's one in terms of cruelty
I'm calling it a cruel genocide and that's a hill I'm willing to die on.
I thought linking to tweets was pretty much banned in the fediverse. Apparently not?
Edit: sorry for the thought crime of thinking I saw some general agreement in several posts a couple weeks ago where it seemed wildly popular to ban links to a platform that funds Nazis. I'll try not to commit that heinous act again.
Maybe stay on topic to the thread next time.
Sees post of horrifying condition of Palestinian man
"Why is there a Twitter link I thought Twitter was evil?"
There's a time and a place.
It depends on the instance, because there are no universal rules across the fediverse, that's the point of the fediverse, and I don't believe this instance voted to do the pointless act of banning Twitter.
Twitter is still one of the primary content discovery platforms. Reddit is a distilled Twitter feed.
That 3-day fast really hits huh
That's really not an appropriate comment to make here. I think you should consider deleting your comment.
I disagree. Keep the comment there so more can downvote and some can realize what is an example of a terrible thing to say in the hopes that someone learns something
You must be you going through some serious shit to post something like this, that response to innocent human suffering isn't normal. I hope you get help.
Fuck Israel
If this is true, it is below humanity. But trying to recognize the man on the left photo in the right one and reading more about this specific news post i'm not so sure anymore.
Top and bottom lips have the same proportion, ears have the same outward tilt, widows peak is basically the same, eyebrows are the exact same. It's the same guy.
I'm glad that starvation and grievous torture is so unfamiliar to you that you can't understand the way it dramatically changes your body.
This is so fake it deserves the Gazawood Oscar for worse make up
Why would Israel put makeup on them?
There was pretty widespread indignation about what the released Palestinian prisoners looked like upon their release from Israeli prisons. Some looked significantly worse than the people Hamas released. The Red Cross/Moon expressed their concern about it.
What a disgusting sentence from a disgusting person.
This is how Israel has treated Palestinians for a long time. They experience nonstop torture and sexual abuse in these prisons. Both adults and children. There is no due process in these military courts, they are guilty with no need for evidence and no one to advocate for their rights.
Palestinian Prisoners in Israeli Prisons
Palestinians are jailed without charge, forced into false confessions, routinely tortured, raped, denied medical attention, and some even killed as a result. This includes hundreds of children.
