A Ceasefire Deal may one day free 100’s of Palestinian hostages for the last Israelis held in Gaza. But Israel jails 1000’s more without charges.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said the Israeli occupation refuses to disclose any information about detainees taken from Gaza, Quds Press reported.
Israel is incarcerating approx. 10,000 Palestinian hostages (prisoners without charges).
After the start of the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, the number of Palestinians held in administrative detention (hostages) rose from 1,319 to 2,070 between 1 October and 1 November.[95][96][97] AT THIS RATE OF ARRESTS ISRAEL HAD AT LEAST 4000 PALESTINIAN HOSTAGES BY THE END OF JANUARY 2024.
In November 2023, in exchange for the 240 hostages taken on Hamas’ October 7th attack,[66][67] Israel proposed release of 300 prisoners, most of them women and children.
68] But over two-thirds of these prisoners had not been formally convicted of any crime or charged with any crime.[68]We don’t have official figures but if this ratio of prisoners held without charge is generalised Israel has AT LEAST 6,000 MORE PALESTINIAN HOSTAGES, BRINGING THE TOTAL TO 10,000 APPROX.
In addition most of the thousands of “convicted” Palestinian prisoners are incarcerated under invented apartheid style laws by an illegally occupying regime and which have little justification by even the most basic international standards.
Gazans who have been illegally confined and blockaded all their lives have arguably every moral right to break out and fight back., Not of course, to kill innocent civilians, though many of their non-military victims were ‘armed reservists subsidized to live in fortified settlements by the border’.
Convicted Palestinians are also often little more than hostages. Israel is rarely accused of Human Rights abuses or sanctioned by complicit and financially linked western elites with vested interests, even though the Israeli state is clearly locking up on petty racist inspired charges people who could also be described as “hostages”.

The root of Israeli racist apartheid is a 3000 year old biblical assertion that Jews are God’s chosen race, as well as other scripture, taken out of context but repeatedly quoted on TV by Netanyahu, in which God urges Jews to massacre another local tribe.

Israeli soldiers torture Palestinian detainees – Middle East Monitor Viral footage shows Israeli occupation soldiers beating naked Palestinians in the West Bank
In a statement issued yesterday, the rights group said the Israeli occupation is carrying out “the crime of enforced disappearance” against Gaza detainees, following a number of military orders and laws specifically enacted for them.

The Israeli Knesset has recently ratified regulations depriving “Gaza detainees” of meeting with a lawyer for another four months.
Images from Gaza show Palestinian men being rounded up from shelters, stripped to their underwear and made to wait in the cold while naked and blindfolded. They are later seen being taken away on trucks to undisclosed locations.

It is not clear how many boys and men were disappeared, but some reports have put the figure as high as 700. They are said to have been taken from shelter schools in northern Gaza where thousands of displaced civilians were forced to take shelter as a result of the bombing and destruction of their neighbourhoods and homes.
Those who have been released bear signs of torture, exhaustion and malnourishment.
To all this we should add that Israeli apartheid laws are extremely repressive and thousands of Palestinians are imprisoned for obviously tiny, ridiculous or invented crimes.

For western media, Israel’s genocidal massacre of Gaza is not ‘deadly’. How the West promotes Israeli racism
by DES FREEDMAN at Declassified Media
Right across the Anglo-American mainstream media, the killing of Palestinians is seen as normal. It’s only Israeli lives that matter.

Twenty-four Israeli soldiers were killed in two separate incidents in Gaza on 22 January. Mainstream media outlets around the world reacted in unison: that this was the “deadliest day” for Israel since 7 October.
But on the same day, barely mentioned, Israeli forces killed almost 200 Palestinians in Gaza including at least 65 people in Khan Younis alone.
This exact phrase the “deadliest day” was used to mourn Israeli deaths while ignoring mass murder of Palestinians on the same day in headlines on 23 January carried by news agencies such as Reuters and AFP, and major broadcasters including the BBC, CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC and ITV News. the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Time magazine, Daily Telegraph, the Sun, Jerusalem Post, Guardian, London’s Evening Standard, Financial Times, Independent and Yahoo News….etc……….. for full article see HERE Declassified Medi
