“They should get a good feel for the conditions in Ketziot prison and think twice before they approach Israel again.”
Gaza is not Israel you kidnapping fascist fucks.
“All the detainees’ legal rights are fully upheld. And if they come back, we’ll ‘uphold’ them again.”
They report, not “allege”.
The consistent misuse of “qualifications” to protect the gaslighters is anti-journalism, aka propaganda.
Call it out!!

I get the semantics, but “allege” is standard journalistic practice. Reporting on it is calling it out.
That would be a correct reading if it wasn’t for the small (tiny, miniscule, tinsy winsy) detail that when it comes to what the IDF or the Israeli government allege this very newspaper actually uses words like “stated” instead of “alleged”.
(Similarly to how they write for Israeli soldiers that they “are killed” whilst for Palestinians the form used is the passive one: they “die”)
It’s the double standard that makes it propaganda rather than journalism - Journalists would go to great lengths to treat both sides exactly the same.
Yeah the BBC has been credibly accused of this and surely other MSM sources. In this exact case, the detained are quite actually alleging mistreatment, which has been corroborated by others there, but not proven. The IDF thugs are responding to the allegations with a statement, they don’t allege back. I dunno, of all the examples of double standards, this one seems most innocuous, but i do take your point.
I think the standard should be removed
Fuck israel, death to IDF
Israel’s foreign ministry has dismissed all claims of mistreatment of members of the flotilla as “brazen lies”, posting on X: “All the detainees’ legal rights are fully upheld.”
Cool. Show us video evidence of the whole time they were detained.
The national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has said he was “proud” of the way staff behaved at Ketziot. He said in a statement on the activists: “They should get a good feel for the conditions in Ketziot prison and think twice before they approach Israel again.”
… yeah.
