Israeli soldiers have subjected a one-year-old child in central Gaza to torture to pressure his father into making confessions during an interrogation, Palestine TV reported, citing Palestinian journalist Osama Al-Kahlout.
It aired footage showing injuries to the child, identified as Karim, after he was detained by Israeli forces near the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza.
While taking his child to buy supplies, he was caught up in gunfire near his home and was forced by Israeli soldiers to leave his 18-month-old son on the ground and approach a nearby military checkpoint, where he was stripped and interrogated.
The forces tortured the child in front of his father, including burning one of his legs with cigarettes, pricking him and inserting a nail into his leg, as confirmed by a medical report.
The report said the child suffered burn marks from cigarettes and puncture wounds in his leg caused by the nail.
BABY
not child
Infant, to be exact.

It comes from a Palestinian journalist.
Completely disregarding this post, we’ve been made aware…
Imagine being capable of torturing a child? Hearing the screams and cry’s from pain that you’re inflicting and not having a reaction. Perhaps even worse and enjoying it?
That’s some evil shit right there.
They don’t see them as children. They’re just seen as “future terrorists”, and someTHING that needs to be cleaned up for their God given destiny to be fulfilled.
Saying, they see them as future terrorists is unfair. There is only one reason you can do this kind of thing to a baby, and it’s through Dehumanization. It’s years snd years of this kind of propaganda.
May the people responsible die painfully.
I mean, that’s what they were thinking.
something about religions and militaries only lead to institutions of the criminaly insane.
look at the crusades and you will see parallels.
Okay, this is as evil as it gets. It’s the sort of thing that if the soldiers that did this are not publicly executed, it proves everything people are saying about the IDF
Why would they be executed for this? They’ll be lauded as heroes in their morally depraved cesspool of a country
Humanity i ask you direct, how much more of this stuff are you ok with?
When will people stage a sit in on the steps of the congress or knesset?
so this is that “most moral army” I keep hearing about.
Bob Vylan said nothing wrong.
I wonder what Ann Frank would have to say about them.
In today’s world, her social account would have been deleted and her posts doomed to oblivion.
I wonder what her father would have said about it in his book.
It’s not even his book, he got someone to make it who he then didn’t pay and then took him to court
If people I worked with did something like this, I would stop working there.
Could we develop some exchange rate, like for every instance of torture against a child, the offending party should be made to endure something like 10,000 instances of torture?
Israel already established the exchange rate.
Oct. 7th = 1,200 killed Gaza = 75,000 killed
One Israeli life is equal to 62.5 Palestinians.
Apparently.
This unequal exchange rate logic has been firmly established for decades.
“On October 18, 2011, captured IDF tank gunner Gilad Shalit, captured by the Palestinian militant organization Hamas in 2006, was released in exchange for 1027 Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.”

“Palestinian prisoners” have become a form of currency for the Israeli state. Whenever they start to run low, they just go to the West Bank and get more.
>Palestine TV says the Israeli soldiers burned the child’s leg with a cigarette, pricked him and inserted a nail to his leg.
Palestinian propaganda channels are not trustworthy. I would not believe this without a better source.
That’s convenient, because Israel still isn’t allowing journalists into Gaza. There can’t be other sources, Israel has made sure of it.
They stated the child was returned to family via red cross. You’d think the red cross would make a statement if they received a tortured toddler.
Also this was reported via Quds News network, which has a terrible rating on every factcheck site for blatant propaganda pieces.
The Red Cross doesn’t make statements prior to investigation, and it’s not like Israel is going to let them conduct one.
But there’s literal footage of the wounds. Where do you think those wounds came from?
“Erm acshurally someone with dark skin said this, I need a corporate apporved white person from a news source owned by a billionaire to tell me because I cant think for myself”
Of course. You should only believe things white people on Lemmy who already agree with you post. Like the article in OP. /s
