With fighting raging around Khan Younis and in the north of Gaza, a video has emerged on social media showing dozens of Palestinian men detained by Israel.

    What makes you assume they are civilians, and shouldn’t this be verified? That’s the nature of war; It seems provoking one wasn’t the best idea. Strip searching them and arresting them is pretty humane considering the alternatives.

      For starters one of them was a journalist and he is still detained.

      Edit: I think you’re turning a blind eye to this. Look at the pictures again. Would a “democracy” do this? Or does it look more like something from a chapter in a history book?

          It should be stripped of this self-acclaimed title.

          It’s an illegitimate apartheid state

            You know that a “democracy” doesn’t mean “a good country”, right? Democracies can do war crimes just as well as dictatorships. It’s irrelevant.

            Edit: typo

              Yeah, you’re right… Israel is a shitty democracy.

              Edit: at a second thought, are you really a democracy if you run an apartheid system?

                The word democracy doesn’t mean good.

                Also Russia is a democracy and so is China. They said they are so they must be.
