"Taken Hostage by the Israeli Military": Freed Palestinian Prisoners Describe Widespread Torture



Palestinians who have been released from Israeli prisons as part of the hostage exchange with Hamas are describing physical and psychological torture, medical neglect, deprivation and more. Moureen Kaki, a Palestinian American aid worker with Glia International who has been interviewing the returnees, joins us from Khan Younis to share some of their stories. Most were captured and imprisoned without charge by the Israeli military in the past two years. "They were being illegally imprisoned as captives by the Israeli military and then the Israeli government," Kaki explains. "Some of them were held captive for as little as three months, and some of them for several years."

Let’s not pretend that one side is any better than the other. Hate is a poison that kills the humanity in humans.
