The Israeli human rights group B’Tselem has published a major new report documenting how the Israeli prison system has become “a network of torture camps,” where physical, psychological and sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners is normalized and routine.

The report, titled “Welcome to Hell,” collects the testimony of 55 Palestinians who were detained by Israeli authorities since October 7 and later released, almost all without charges. This comes as a group of U.N. experts condemned the widespread torture of Palestinians and as Israel’s Channel 12 News aired shocking footage of Israeli soldiers sexually abusing a prisoner at the Sde Teiman army base, where thousands of detainees from Gaza are held.

Sarit Michaeli, the international advocacy lead for B’Tselem, says the abuse in Israeli prisons is “systemic, ongoing and state-sanctioned,” reflecting the cruelty and thirst for revenge among a growing number of Israelis. “They would like to have a completely open field in terms of what they can do to Palestinians,” says Michaeli.

    There are many apartheid countries. No one cares. No one has ever cared. They only care about evil goyim.

    Abe never put into practice, and crimes against humanity committed by Imperial Japan during WWII.

    They actively oppress the Korean population and praise apartheid system in recent times. Just because you don’t care doesn’t make it not real. Here’s another source if you care. There is a section that says recent atrocities or something along those lines if you care to skim through the page.

    Really. No one cares about apartheid BS other than bigoted antisemites anyway.

    There are like 5 pan arab apartheid countries. I’ll leave that for some other post. Let’s stay on topic of no cares about Japan being an apartheid state.
