Matar says he and two other men were detained by a group of masked settlers wearing Israeli army uniforms, held for eight hours, stripped, blindfolded, beaten and sexually assaulted.

Matar and the others allege they were accused of being terrorists, threatened, urinated on and had photos of their humiliation posted online.

“I was hysterical. I started screaming: ‘I’m against bloodshed! I’m against Hamas!’ ” Matar told the Star at his office in Ramallah.

His tormentor responded: “You’re all Arab s---. We’re going to kill all of you and kick you off the land,” he said.

News of the story broke in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

😧

Edit:

He described horrific treatment, saying they were beaten with a plastic pipe and a wooden shovel handle; doused in cold water; and had manure rubbed in their wounds. They were urinated on and even penetrated with a wooden cane, he said.

The average age in Palestine is 19 so ~50% of civilians killed are going to be children. And for the survivors 53.5% of children in Palestine have PTSD and something like 80% show symptoms.

It is also an objective fact that only about 1/3 of Palestinian households own a car so for the average able bodied Palestinian it will be a ~4.5 hour walk assuming no traffic

Yeah there might be more to it but I'm pretty sure that assassination fucked up peace for the last 20 years.

Here's one of the sources I used to come to my conclusion, it can give a more detailed explanation of the breakdown https://www.britannica.com/topic/Oslo-Accords#ref360514

Yeah Hamas def made those Israeli settlers steal Palestinian homes /s

What's low quality is using misapplied therapy speak to try to shut down a conversation.

It's not victim blaming. It's a fucking war zone. There are US citizens in Palestine right now stealing Palestinian houses. How are the Palestinians supposed to know who's who? Stay the fuck out of the active war zone if you don't belong there. It's not like the Palestinians who don't have a choice, people on vacation 100% had a choice.

"ViCTiM bLAmINg". The victims are the Palestinians. Get the fuck outa here.

It’s not “feature creep” when you prioritize ntf avatars over tools for moderators to keep the site functional.
