Over the first four days of Israel-Hamas prisoner exchange, Israel arrests 133 Palestinians while releasing 150.

...

But the worry for Palestinian prisoners does not end after their release. The majority of those freed are usually rearrested by Israeli forces in the days, weeks, months and years after their release.

Dozens of those who were arrested in a 2011 Israel-Hamas prisoner exchange were rearrested and had their sentences reinstated.

...

Many of the women and children released during the truce have testified to the abuse they experienced in Israeli prisons.

Several videos have also emerged in recent weeks of Israeli soldiers beating, stepping on, abusing and humiliating detained Palestinians who have been blindfolded, cuffed and stripped either partially or entirely. Many social media users said the scenes brought back memories of the torture tactics used by United States forces in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison in 2003.

But why can't you just accept that this serious term applies in this case? Countless evidence and organizations calling for it. What's the problem? Should Israel not be tried for its war crimes?

But why can’t you just accept that this serious term applies in this case?

Because there is 0 evidence of intent to commit genocide . Quite the opposite.

Israel can make shitty decisions that result in the deaths of civilians, and you can hold them accountable for that without using nonsense terms that cause harm.

They have shown their intent by indiscriminate killing of Palestinians, not to mention the plans for ethnic cleansing of Gaza into Egypt. The knesset has been making genocidal statements and so has Bibi.

It's done, it's proven, all that is left is for you to accept it.

This is where we disagree. Not sure what's complicated here for you.

I don't find it easy to do genocide denial on the fly.
