Remarkl, you are right. The metaphor I used about table manners may be too subtle for many, like you, to understand. Israel’s use of administrative detention, a form of arbitrary detention, of Palestinians across the occupied West Bank and now again in Gaza facilitate inhuman and degrading treatment of prisoners. It includes torture and death in custody. This has been a subject of controversy and criticism by human rights organizations for many decades and is one of the reasons armed Palestinian resistance undertook the Oct 7 operation. Now, testimonies from released detainees and human rights lawyers, as well as video footage and images illustrate some of the forms of torture and other ill-treatment Palestinian prisoners have been subjected to by Israeli forces. As I said, the refinements of colonial manners is just a veneer. Since Oct 7, the number of Palestinian detainees has doubled to over 11,000.
