    Yes they were, Israeli sources contain what released hostages themselves relayed and I see no reason why not to believe them, especially as you also hear humanizing stories such as some of them saying they were given accommodations for jewish prayer.

    To note also that the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Alice Jill Edwards has also spoken on the topic

    • https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/09/un-torture-expert-calls-immediate-release-israeli-hostages-after-meeting
    • https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/08/special-rapporteur-torture-warns-cruelty-becoming-enemy-peace-gaza-and-calls

    Then, the tweet (and again, you’re building a whole edifice out of a tweet!) is not structured as to compare Israeli and Palestinian prisoners/hostages/whatever-you-call-them. It one the one hand talks about Israeli hostages and on the other Palestinians as a whole not being bombed, with the freeing from detention being a secondary topic to, you know, bombs not falling.

        You have a problem with nuance it seems.

        That doesn’t discount torture allegations.

          No this does https://lemmy.ml/post/37614139.

          You’re also selectively ignoring Zohran not mention the actual proven torture of Palestinians of which there is footage.

            Look up.

              The story claims they were mistreated when they were taken into captivity not tortured during captivity.

              Also please supply evidence not statements from known Israeli liars who change their stories after 20 days because they were treated too well.

                  Oops no evidence for your Zionist lies. Better hit the imaginary DB0 disengage button which doesn’t exist here.
