‘IDF tortures a baby!’

Posted on by

AI (01,04.2026) – ‘In March 2026, allegations emerged that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers tortured an 18-month-old Palestinian baby, Jawad Abu Nassar, to coerce a confession from his father. …

According to family members, witnesses, and regional news outlets like TRT World and Al Jazeera, the incident occurred near the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza: Separation and Detention: Jawad’s father, Osama Abu Nassar, was reportedly stopped at a checkpoint, stripped, and interrogated while his son was taken by soldiers.

Physical Abuse: Reports and a medical assessment shared by the family alleged the toddler suffered deliberate cigarette burns on his legs, pricking, and the insertion of a metal nail into his foot.

Release: The child was released after approximately 10 hours through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), while his father remained in detention.

The United Nations Special Rapporteur and organizations like CAIR have cited this and other reports as evidence of systematic abuse of Palestinian detainees.’

‘I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.’ (Gustave Gilbert – who was, an American Army psychologist assigned to the Nuremberg trials. After closely observing and interviewing the Nazi defendants, he reflected on his search for the nature of evil).

    AI (01.04.2026) – ‘British journalist and commentator Owen Jones has heavily criticized the actions of British citizens serving in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during the conflict in Gaza, advocating for their prosecution for alleged war crimes.

    Jones has highlighted that British nationals serving in Israel’s armed forces are contributing to atrocities and has called for them to face legal scrutiny. He has stated that “soldiers who committed these war crimes, including Brits,” should be prosecuted, arguing that “following orders” is no excuse.

    The calls for prosecution of these individuals are part of a wider campaign by legal groups, such as the International Centre for Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) and the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC), which have prepared reports to be filed with police regarding British citizens’ involvement in IDF operations, alleging they participated in serious violations.’

    ‘In the present report, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 examines the systematic use by Israel of torture against Palestinians from the occupied Palestinian territory since 7 October 2023, encompassing custodial and non-custodial practices that meet the threshold for genocide under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

    She documents how torture has become integral to the domination of and punishment inflicted on men, women and children, both through custodial abuse and through a relentless campaign of forced displacement, mass killings, deprivation and the destruction of all means of life to inflict long-term collective pain and suffering.’

Is this the moral cause for which mothers and fathers in America are giving up their sons and daughter to fight, and to die for?’
  • AI (01.04.2026) – ‘Multiple investigations and reports have documented members of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) posting photos and videos of themselves with detained Palestinians in humiliating or abusive circumstances on social media. …

    Specific documented instances include an officer posting a photo of himself standing over a handcuffed, undressed hostage, and soldiers filming themselves mocking or forcing detainees into “stress positions”. …

    Investigations by BBC Verify and The New York Times analyzed hundreds of such posts across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. These reports found that many soldiers did not hide their identities when uploading this content.

    Legal experts and human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch and UN investigators, have stated that filming and publishing such images may constitute war crimes as they violate international laws protecting detainees from “public curiosity” and “humiliating and degrading treatment”. …

    Additionally, high-profile footage from the Sde Teiman detention facility—which reportedly showed soldiers sexually abusing a detainee—was leaked to Israeli media in 2024 rather than posted by the soldiers themselves.’

‘Israel’s parliament passed a sweeping death penalty law targeting Palestinians on Monday, triggering widespread international condemnation – as lawmakers celebrated with champagne inside the Knesset. The bill, approved by 62 of the Knesset’s 120 members with 48 opposed and one abstention, will instruct military courts to impose capital punishment on Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis in acts defined as “terrorism”. It takes effect within 30 days, and crucially, does not apply to Jewish Israelis convicted of the same crime. Far-right extremist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who had made the law a core condition of his party’s coalition agreement with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, appeared in the chamber wearing a lapel pin shaped like a metal noose before the vote.’

As far as I am aware Israel has become the first state in history to legislate for a death penalty that only applies to one ethnic group, which in the case of the Palestinians – are living under occupation by Israel in breach of International Law.
