No, I'm not an American. I'm one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the 22 million black people who are the victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So, I'm not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver—no, not I. I'm speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.

One is Obeida Hammad, who served 17 months of administrative detention without charge before being released, but was then rearrested by the Israeli army three weeks ago in a 4am raid on his home in Silwad.
Badriya Hammad, the 19-year-old’s mother, said her son had not been involved in any illegal activities since his release and he had dreaded going back to prison, where he had endured harsh conditions."
It's simple:
"Partly as a consequence of the new detentions, negotiators are demanding guarantees that any freed prisoners will not be put straight back in jail, the #Palestinian officials said."

“If they are unable to keep their hands raised, the soldiers attach the handcuffs to the bars of the cage. Many of the detainees had infected wounds that were not being properly treated.”
He added: “The floor is very dirty, and it smells so bad that we were forced to wear face masks. You could hear sometimes the sound of beating and them screaming, and [a] banging sound like against the metal wall.”
The whistleblower said prisoners were given one cucumber, a few slices of bread and a cup of cheese, and that some of them were visibly malnourished.

Addameer, a Palestinian human rights organization, estimates that 54 Palestinians — the majority of them from Gaza — have died in Israeli prisons since October “due to torture, inhumane detention conditions, systematic abuse, and deliberate attacks.”
One man, identified as Zaanin, said he was denied access to the bathroom and medical treatment and deprived of sleep. Another man told the news agency that his “hands were injured from electric torture” and that he witnessed “more than 30 prisoners with amputated legs, some with both legs missing, and some with both eyes missing.”

in reply to Proletarian Rage • • •One Palestinian inmate died with a ruptured spleen and broken ribs after being beaten by Israeli prison guards. Another met an excruciating end because a chronic condition went untreated. A third screamed for help for hours before dying.”
The three prisoners are among at least 12 Palestinians from the #WestBank and Israel to die in Israeli jails since 7 October, according to Physicians for Human Rights #Israel (PHRI), whose members sat in on the autopsies.
“Violence is pervasive,” Jessica Montell, executive director of the Israeli rights group HaMoked, told The Post. “It’s very overcrowded. Every prisoner that we’ve met with has lost 30 pounds.”
Septic shock and respiratory failure following the beating were listed as potential causes of death. The Israeli Prison Service has not provided the official autopsy results to Bahash’s family, nor have they returned his body.

Since 7 October, 345 women and 700 children have been imprisoned in the occupied #WestBank and #Jerusalem, according to the brief.
It adds that 94 #journalists have been detained, 53 of who are still in custody.
“More than 8,322 orders of administrative detention have been issued since 7 October, ranging between new orders and renewals, including orders against children and women,” the brief goes on to say.
“The data does not include detention cases of #Gaza, due to the occupation’s refusal to give any information and the continuation of practicing the crime of enforced disappearance against them. The occupation forces arrested about 4,000 citizens from Gaza.
At least 22 #Palestinians have died in Israeli custody, according to official numbers.
The head of Israel’s Shin Bet security service, Ronen Bar, warned in a letter to #Netanyahu and Itamar Ben Gvir in late June that 21,000 Palestinians are imprisoned in jails across #israel.

“"The doctor told our lawyer that he met at least ten other [detainees] — before the current allegations were made public — who had experienced sexual assault in the same way,” Abbas said.
Furthermore, Abbas noted that accusations of sexual assault are not limited to detainees in military custody but are also emerging from prisons across Israel. In July, PHRI sent a letter to the director of the Israel Prison Service (IPS) regarding the abuse occurring within Israeli prisons. The letter included 15 testimonies, one of which described a similar instance of sexual assault to the one alleged at Sde Teiman. PHRI has yet to receive a response from the IPS. Right-wing lawmaker Itamar Ben Gvir, who currently heads the Ministry of National Security, oversees Israel’s prison system."

"#Israeli Prison Service personnel in the security wing of Megiddo Prison handcuffed and humiliated detainees on Friday morning, despite no unusual incident occurring in the prison.
"Photos and videos obtained by Haaretz show dozens of detainees lying on their stomachs while handcuffed, some without clothes, as a guard dog barks over their heads. The Prison Service described this as a 'routine exercise.'
"In numerous cases, detainees and prisoners in Megiddo prison have reported being subject to violence and severe abuse by prison guards, including kicking, punching, blows to the testicles and other forms of humiliation. Since the outbreak of the war, Palestinian detainees in the security wing, as well as those with Israeli citizenship, reported being beaten by guards and being forced to sing songs, often while in handcuffs, as a form of humiliation.
"A senior member of the Prison Service confirmed in a conversation with Haaretz that the organization is aware of the severe violence directed at detainees and prisoners in Megiddo prison."

Israeli prison guards filmed abusing detainees; prison service says it's a 'routine exercise'

in reply to Proletarian Rage • • •Israel has opened an underground #prison for detainees from #Hamas and #Hezbollah groups where they are denied access to sunlight, according to Israeli media cited by the Anadolu news agency.
According to the Israeli public broadcaster KAN, the facility, located in central #Israel, is designed to house “the most dangerous individuals” from Hamas’s elite forces and Hezbollah’s Radwan Unit.
“This is their natural place, underground,” far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who oversees the police, reportedly told KAN.
The broadcaster said some 75 detainees were currently being held at the underground prison.
“Even the small window in the ward has been sealed off for the detainees,” it added.
Describing the conditions in the underground prison as harsh, KAN said detainees there are shackled and confined to their cells for 23 hours a day.
“They are allowed only one brief opportunity per day to step into a small, enclosed yard,” it added. “Even this small yard is completely closed and the sunlight can’t reach it, and detainees are allowed to go out into it once a day.”

"Every time prisoners are released, we find the prisoners’ bodies reflecting the level of crimes committed against them, including torture that is unprecedented in its level after October 7, starvation crimes, systematic medical crimes, and the infection of a number of them with scabies, in addition to the severe beatings that the prisoners were subjected to before their release, which continued for days according to many of their testimonies, and which in some cases led to rib fractures,” the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said in a statement.
“The Prisoner’s Society confirms again that the occupation practices organized terrorism against the released prisoners and their families, through several methods that have been monitored, the most prominent of which are the severe beatings that the released prisoners were subjected to, and the threats that reached the point of killing if any reception party was organized or if the family showed any sign of reception.”

Palestinian prisoner Khaled Abdallah, from #Jenin Camp, occupied West Bank, has been murdered by #Israel in Megiddo prison at the age of 40. He has been held under administrative detention (imprisonment without a trial or committing an offense) since 11 September, 2023.
With the death of Khaled, the number of #Palestinians killed in Israeli prisons has risen to at least 61, with at least 40 from #Gaza. He is the third Palestinian prisoner to be announced dead the past week.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Institutions stated that this currently the bloodiest phase the prisoners had to face since 1967.

in reply to Proletarian Rage • • •An Israeli reserve soldier has exposed shocking abuses at the Sde Teiman detention camp in the Negev desert, describing it as a “sadistic torture site” where dozens of Palestinian detainees from Gaza died under brutal conditions.
The soldier described Sde Teiman as a place where “people enter alive and leave in body bags.” He said the death of detainees was no longer surprising. “The real surprise,” he added, “is if someone survives.”
He stated that Israeli authorities oversee systematic abuse. According to his account, #Palestinian detainees suffered starvation, untreated war wounds, and denial of basic hygiene needs. “Some urinated and defecated on themselves because they weren’t allowed to use the bathroom,” he said.
At least 36 Palestinian detainees have been killed under torture in #Sdeteiman since the start of Israel’s #genocide in #Gaza.
Despite this, Israel’s Supreme Court rejected a petition to close the camp in September, saying the government was “obligated to respect the law” inside the facility.

in reply to Proletarian Rage • • •Three more #Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip have been announced dead in Israeli detention, raising the death toll to 69 since October 2023, prisoner rights organizations said on Thursday.
Their deaths were confirmed in responses sent by the Israeli military to Palestinian #humanrights organizations, which provided only the dates of death without further details regarding the circumstances of their deaths, WAFA reported.
...They stressed that the plight of Palestinian detainees from #Gaza has revealed “unprecedented levels of violence and atrocities,” including reports of torture, starvation, medical neglect, and sexual abuse.
The organizations accused Israel of carrying out systematic “slow killing” practices in its detention facilities, citing the spread of disease, such as scabies, as a method of torture and neglect. They stated that medical negligence, #torture, and starvation are central causes behind the rising death toll.
Holding Israel fully responsible for the deaths, the organizations renewed their call for an independent international investigation into the deaths of detainees and for the international community to take effective measures to hold Israeli leaders accountable.
