Occupier makes mockery of ceasefire terms – while still shooting civilians in Gaza

Arbitrary arrest and humiliation today, a regular occupation tactic.

This tactic is not new to Israel – previous captive-swaps have been closely followed by mass arbitrary arrests and so-called ‘administrative detention’, which can be and often is used to imprison Palestinians without charge for years who are often beaten and tortured, with complete impunity for Israel from so-called ‘liberal’, ‘democratic’ western governments.

Continuing the true American way of fighting those incapable of fighting back, but when it comes to NK, Russia or China, it runs away.
