PNN – The video of an Israeli soldier interrogating a naked and bleeding Palestinian prisoner, as another document of the brutality of the Zionist regime, followed a wave of global anger and disgust.
International treaties say that people who are in detention should not be subjected to unnecessary embarrassment in public, and from this point of view, the images in which the men detained in Gaza are seen naked with their hands and eyes closed are a clear document of the violation of international laws. According to reports, these images were published by men who are still official soldiers of the Israeli army or were officially in the service of this country’s army at the time of recording the video. It is worth considering that they did not hide their identity in these videos. In the same video, it can be seen that the detained man is taken barefoot through the streets of Gaza after interrogation, which is also against Article 13 of the Third Geneva Convention, which talks about the laws of war; Prisoners must be protected, especially against violence, intimidation, insults and exposure to public.
This horrible crime has been exposed while a similar action had been taken against Palestinian prisoners. At the end of December, videos and pictures of the captivity of Palestinian refugees in the areas of “Jabalia” and “Beit Lahia” in the north of Gaza were published by the Israeli army. The prisoners that the Zionists claim have surrendered. According to these images, the soldiers of the Zionist regime had stripped the prisoners naked and placed them on the ground in the manner of ISIS. The Israeli army claimed that these people were Hamas “soldiers” who were arrested and stripped for physical examination, but the recently published videos exposed the regime’s lie and showed that these people were “civilians” who gave them weapons.
All of these inhumane and criminal behaviors have taken place while the conditions governing Palestine and the occupied territories are war conditions. Therefore, the international laws of war, including the laws of Geneva and the Red Cross, etc., are included, and any humiliating action, torture, beating, etc., against prisoners is a violation of international standards, and the heads of the Zionist regime are directly responsible for all these tragedies.
This open crime has such wide dimensions that even the Western media, which are fully at the service of the Zionist regime and are busy purifying the crimes of this regime, have not been able to hide it; As the “BBC”, whose bias against the crimes of the Zionist regime has provoked the anger of the British people, in a report referring to a large number of published videos of the crimes of the Zionist regime’s soldiers, quoting “Jeffrey Nice”, a British human rights lawyer in the international arena, states that the recording And publishing such images “could be considered a war crime.” There are several points to consider regarding these crimes against humanity:
This is despite the fact that the history of 75 years of occupation of Palestine shows the nature of this regime’s rule and systematic crime, and the manifestations of this nature cannot be reduced to an individual or arbitrary action of a soldier. When the Zionist minister calls for the use of atomic bombs against the two million residents of Gaza, or when Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of this regime, presents a plan without Palestine and Palestinians, it will have no consequences except for the extremist behavior of the soldiers and residents of the occupied territories.

Second, the inhumane behavior, torture and humiliation of Palestinian prisoners, has been repeated in the past and present by the main supporter and ally of the Zionist regime, namely America and England. Medieval tortures and confessions of innocents by artificial drowning by America in Guantanamo prison and the moral scandal of Americans in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq as well as the crimes committed by Americans in 20 years of presence in Afghanistan are only a part of the anti-human behavior of the supporters of the Zionist regime, the same nature of these countries and the Zionist regime more than ever.
It is noteworthy that despite the revelation of the nature of such tragedies, some western media, which introduce themselves as sources of authenticity and confirmation of news and claim to be professionals, continue to purify and de-significate these tragedies; Like “BBC”, which covered up the crimes of the Zionist regime in its report with words such as “arbitrary behavior” and “dismissal of a wrongful soldier”.
The remarkable point and in line with the Zionist regime was that the BBC admits that it took action to delete these videos in the virtual space and emphasizes: “After we shared these videos with the Israeli army and platforms like TikTok and YouTube, they stopped access to these images.”
