The Observer spoke to three Palestinians from Gaza whose immediate family were killed while they were held by the Israeli military or in Israeli civilian prisons without charge or trial. They only learned about their losses when they were released months later.

The three men are civilians – a nurse, a civil servant and a headteacher of a primary school – who say they have never taken up arms. They had no access to a lawyer in jail and were not allowed to communicate with their families.

Legal rights groups say there are likely to be many other detainees from Gaza who have lost close family in Israeli attacks, but have not been told of their deaths.

I read this earlier today, I am getting more upset by Israel each day while I have been thinking I've been at some maximum level of anger and sadness about the situation of the palastinans. Ive known Netanyahu is evil for a while now but so many Israeli are at is side I'm really starting to hate them.

Jewish Israeli society as a whole is firmly on the side of genocide here, even if they oppose Netanyahu specifically because of the corruption charges. Westerners tend to think this is a Netanyahu issue, but no; genocide of Palestinians has bipartisan support in Israel and is only opposed by a small minority in the Knesset that is mostly voted in by Palestinian Israelis.

Israel is a fascist state. Normal people should hate Israel just as they should hate all fascist states.
