Israel’s Supreme Court on Sunday 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 during the nearly two-year war.
Since the war began, Israel has seized thousands of people in Gaza whom 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. In March, a 17-year-old Palestinian boy died at an Israeli prison, and doctors said starvation was likely the main cause of death.
While it might feel like Netanyahu’s genocide, what with the defense minister switching and all, the truth of all people in power is:
They have support from others.
From fanatic support to apathy, someone is listening to what he says (and making his dreams a reality), while others are letting it happen by not doing anything.
Had Netanyahu suggested genocide and gotten laughed at, none of this would be hapening.
Yet he didn’t get laughed at. He got listened to instead.
