Gaza toddler released from Israeli custody with suspected torture wounds
A toddler returned to his mother with burns on each leg after being held by Israeli forces - with a doctor describing them as marks of "torture" likely caused by deliberate cigarette burns.

What reason could you ever have to torture a toddler other than just being evil?

If this is the case I read about a few days ago, they tortured the kid to get his dad to admit to false charges. Burnt him with cigarettes among other things.

Absolutely ZERO post WWII sympathy for Isreal left at this point. ^(edit: Guess I gotta make it obvious that I'm talking about the nation of Israel and not Jews in general or else I'm a Nazi Iranian bot agent despite having this account for close to a decade now. I'm talking about Israel who throws WWII and the Holocaust in everyone's faces to excuse and shield for their horrid crimes and in doing so actually perverts the memory and honor of those who were murdered in that horrid fascist regime.)

israelis and Holocaust victims have very little overlap actually, lots of them were already there by the start of WWII they called Holocaust survivors sabonim 'soaps' and considered them weak & cowardly and let the majority who migrated there languish and die in poverty while keeping the 'reparations' from Germany for the state

MonochromaticPrism Mar 27, 2026 +108
I can't speak to the poverty angle but I can back up the "soaps" comment based on my own research of that era. The Middle Eastern jews were/are deeply conservative, so it's unsurprising that they would accept the same kind reasoning we heard not so long ago from Trump regarding how he "prefers the 'war heroes' that *weren't* captured".

elpresidente000 Mar 28, 2026 +6
Why did they call them “soaps”? I can guess but would prefer an answer. And do you have a source on that? Not denying it but would like something I can reference.

KidOcelot Mar 28, 2026 +2
Isrealis call the survivors Soaps, as a derogatory racial term for being a weak jewish person Im guessing 🤷‍♀️

At least half the Israeli population are descendants of people expelled from Arab countries who had been living there for many centuries. They are not European. Do your homework.

Eh I don’t know about that man… those ICE holding facilities aren’t exactly welcoming, regulated, or even really even much known about them outside of some of the horror stories we’ve already gotten. I really wouldn’t be surprised if we see an out pouring of horror stories over the next decade once/if there’s actually investigations and people can tell their stories.

My husband and I were talking about this case. I would say anything to get a person to stop torturing my 18-month-old. You could make me say anything you wanted me to say as long as you stop torturing my child. I have and almost 2-year-old and a 3-year-old and it makes me want to vomit just thinking about them in a situation like that.  There is zero excuse to torture a toddler in infant a baby a child. They used nails and cigarettes.

> You could make me say anything you wanted me to say as long as you stop torturing my child. You would also, afterward, have their eternal emnity. And if someone did this to me or anyone I know, I would hate them, truly hate, for the entire rest of my life. This is how you radicalize people against you.

Oh absolutely. You could be Jesus Christ incarnate but if you *tortured my baby* I would eternally hate and want you gone from this world.

i had a medical procedure on my brain a few years ago that was so painful it redefined how I thought about pain. And I'm no stranger to pain; I once broke my clavicle and several other bones in a motorcycle crash. I literally sat in the hospital afterward ruminating on the fact that if someone were torturing me in that way, and the pain were the same, I'd be willing to say or do anything to make it stop. Literally anything.

ShiraCheshire Mar 27, 2026 +38
This is why torture genuinely does not work as an interrogation tactic. It gets 'results', but most of them are completely made up on the spot. A person being tortured will say anything the torturer wants them to say. It doesn't produce reliable information.
38
RavensQueen502 Mar 28, 2026 +9
That is the point of torture to so many, though. They aren't really after information. They just want the target to say the words they want them to say so that there is official 'evidence'.
9
MultiMillionMiler Mar 27, 2026 +9
Agreed. And whatever they do with the info would not be my problem or my fault. No one owes their country by enduring torture.

TwoOwn5220 Mar 27, 2026 +8
The average Israeli official is generally stupid and sadistic so they cant comprehend the fact that torture is neither okay or an effective method of interrogation. (ask the CIA how much success they had with these type of interrogation methods)

I got to experience some of it.  “Tell us.” Tell you what? ZAP “Tell us.” I don’t understand.  ZAP   For 72 days tied to a chair with standing allowed for 30 seconds at a time. Everyone was covered head to toe. No name tags. They demanded to be called random slurs and the shock me for saying it of shock me for “forgetting”. They removed two of my teeth as I slept. Not regular teeth. False implants that screwed into my jaw. I don’t remember being in pain from that though.  They crushed my glasses and food was a loaf of bread cut in half with a slice of bologna in the middle. They naturally cut it down the middle of the loaf in the most awkward way possible.  Water was a bucket of spit with a straw.  In the end nothing happened. They didn’t get what they wanted and I was released with a pinch of severe PTSD, a complete disillusionment of any justice in the USA and intimate knowledge on how people in ICE custody are being brutalized.

Commercial-Lack6279 Mar 27, 2026 +38
That doesn’t make sense. If you’re already at “lets torture a kid” theres no need to do it so you can subvert a legal system, you wouldn’t need a confession, and if you somehow did need a confession you’d torture the person you wanted to confess.
38
Skyscrapers4Me Mar 27, 2026 +7
Making them watch is torturing both simultaneously. It isn't always about anything else besides cruelty.
7
Strykerz3r0 Mar 27, 2026 +46
It isn't for legal reasons, I am sure it is so they can video the the confession in an attempt to exonerate themselves in the eyes of others.
46
Commercial-Lack6279 Mar 27, 2026 +29
I mean… I just read that they acknowledged 70,000 people killed in Gaza… they routinely assassinate people and take out their entire family along with them, and carpet bomb civilian areas… I don’t think Israel is concerned about exoneration over arresting someone at the moment. I guess my point is, why even bother to make the effort? It be like after nuking Hiroshima in WW2 the US arrested a farmer and tortured their kid to get a criminal confession. Everything is way past that now

Lirael_Gold Mar 27, 2026 +21
The "[administrative detention](https://www.btselem.org/administrative_detention)" system that Israel uses to detain/interrogate/charge/imprison Palestinians is it's own completely seperate system, run by the military, with military courts. I will note that in 2017 (according to the numbers given by the IDF) only 1.2% of all detention orders were cancelled by the military courts. I can only assume that number isn't much higher now given the current situation. The IDF has since stopped publishing any figures. While there's the occasional whistleblower, 99% of Israelis involved in the process think that Palestinians are subhuman, else they wouldn't be part of said process. It's basically like asking why the SS-Totenkopfverbände beat prisoners in the concentration camps. Or why the Totenkopf were entirely volunteer and camp guards could resign at any time, it weeds out the "weak" members and only leaves the ones who actively want to hurt people. You end up with a system run by psychopaths. The cruelty is the point.
21
Suspicious_Pizza69 Mar 27, 2026 +2
Well some people just hate the people they are trying to ethnically cleanse. And who says they didn't torture the dad too? The IDF states he admitted to being part of the oct 7 attacks, which at this point sounds like torture admitted bullshit.

There is a documentary “Along the Green Line” on YouTube by The Guardian. It baffled me how many Israeli civilians thought that Palestinian infants aren’t innocent because “they aren’t terrorists yet”.
98
Successful-Candy8421 Mar 27, 2026 +26
I’ve seen a bunch but I will watch that one. These people believe that terrorist are born that way not they are misled or victims of Hamas or whatever. Israel does not share western values of individual liberty, equality or everyone having natural rights given by god under the law. They believe that Palestinians are born as terrorist. Israel is not “The West.”

It's not a serious question, they're either asking it in bad faith to paint you as antisemetic, or their just parroting the lines they heard in the media and haven't put actual thought into the question. No state has a right to exist. And states based on specific religions or ethnic backgrounds should be immediately off the table for anyone from the US or the "free world". It's just complete nonsense.

BiggieMoe01 Mar 27, 2026 +20
Take it from me, I highly recommend this documentary in particular. I’m Lebanese myself and the area of Beirut I grew up in was regularly targeted by Israeli strikes during my childhood, despite it being a purely civilian area, with a strict zero Hezbollah presence. We’re very familiar with Israeli & Zionist rhetoric in particular and we’ve been saying for decades that they are wolves disguised in sheep, that they are aggressors playing victim. Since their genocide in Gaza, the entire world is becoming aware of their true nature. I’ve watched several documentaries on the issue and this is the only one that genuinely shook me to my core. It depicts incredibly well how the Israeli society is built around a rhetoric of dehumanizing Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims in general, and how they justify the use of violence towards us to achieve their “God-given right” of being on this land.

photo-smart Mar 27, 2026 +9
I watched a street interview recently where an Israeli woman, talking about Palestinians, kept saying “we have to kill their offspring.” This Israeli woman couldn’t even say “children” because that’s too humanizing. She kept saying “offspring” like Palestinians aren’t even human

To Train Up A Child, a "Child Training" book endorsed by Christian Fundementalist encourages you to put an object your child wants in front of them. When they reach out for it you should tell them no. For every other time you tell them no you should hit their hands with a rod. They advice you start this "training" at 8 months old. The book repeatedly compares Children with animals and says "If a mouse can be trained then you should expect more from an intelligent being". Cruelty is the point.

This is the end result of apartheid fascistic states. The 'enemy', AKA the other people group, is completely dehumanised. Torturing a toddler to get intel you want from the father is acceptable because they arent really human. Gang raping a prisoner is acceptable because they arent really human. Making their homes look like the bottom of the ocean is acceptable because it crushes the resistance more and allows for potential annexation of that land to the people you want there This is the end result of fascism. Every. Single. Time.

Doing that to animals would still make you a psychopathic b******, so its not even about dehumanization
96
Lesurous Mar 27, 2026 +28
Having empathy for other living things is a mark of humanity, that's why dehumanization is a two-way street. The kind of people who can do such things are not human, not while they harbor those kind of beliefs.
28
Enticing_Venom Mar 27, 2026 +17
Behaviors associated with empathy like nurturing, caring and consideration towards other living beings are traits observed in multiple intelligent species. And it's believed that empathy is a beneficial evolutionary trait among social animals, so it is likely that empathy, including empathy towards separate species, is present in other animals. It's not a "mark of humanity", it's a mark of social animals. Saying sadism is unique to humanity would be more accurate than saying empathy is, as relatively few species are believed to engage in killing/torture for fun (though some are, such as cats and dolphins). Comparing human sadism to animal behaviors is a disservice to most species on earth.

They also pulled the child's nails. As a father, it infuriates me to think there's other men out there that would resort to this sort of behavior. More importantly, there's a regime out there legitimizes this sort of behavior and excuses it. It validates Iran's position, that such an entity shouldn't exist. The people in the region can stay, but this regime that thinks this is ok, needs to go.

Nothing happened to the IDF members who [shot a child](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpqwv9vvzx9o) and left him to bleed to death *on camera*. Nothing happened to all the IDF who [shot children square in the head](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/10/09/opinion/gaza-doctor-interviews.html) The case of the IDF reservist who ran a praying Palestinian man over intentionally in the West Bank *on camera* in December disappeared from the media. IDF using Palestinians as human shields? Admitted. Nothing has happened. Bombings of journalists and hospitals. Murder of ambulance workers. Lol no one's going to jail in Israel for war crimes.
126
A_Nonny_Muse Mar 27, 2026 +107
And then there are those Israeli police at check points in Palestinian territory. While I accept the fact that police need to protect themselves from knife attacks. It's hard to imagine any other police force in the world with a record of killing over 90% of those they are supposed to arrest. And while IDF snipers have been killing people hundreds of yards away from any "no-go zone", the only sniper ever convicted was many years ago, who murdered a pregnant woman and her teenage daughter merely walking home from a grocery store. And it's no wonder Israel has banned independent human rights organizations when they kept documenting children released from Israeli custody with permanent nerve damage in their hands and feet - the result of torture. While this is a rare instance of a toddler being tortured, children in Israeli custody have been regularly tortured for over 20 years now. And that's in addition to the war crimes / crimes against humanity that has been ongoing for decades. Demolishing the home of a criminal is collective punishment and that is specifically both a war crime and a crime against humanity. So whether anyone wants to debate if it's a war, an occupation, or just a police action, it's against international law under all circumstance. Of course, back in 2010s, IDF snipers were targeting the wombs of pregnant women. They were boasting about it online, selling T-shirts with the image of crosshairs on a pregnant belly with the words "One Shot, Two Kills" and encouraging other snipers to do the same. The Israeli Govt. finally told them to stop boasting about it online. Not to end the practice itself, but to stop giving the international community something to complain about. So for all I know, IDF snipers are still out there killing unborn babies hundreds of meters away from any "no-go zones". It's not widely reported on with all the other war crimes and human rights violations they're committing.

Oh something happened. They arrested those soldiers. The problem was a bunch civilians rioted and demanded they be released. This sort of thing has the widespread support of huge swathes of the population. Not all of them - there are some who to tremendous work documenting these abuses, and I am sure that in 30 years time everyone will pretend their parents and aunts and uncles were *those* Israelis. But the average Israeli sees nothing wrong with ethnically cleansing the entire area.

Blows my mind how Israel always gets away with the most evil shit. Truly a wretched nation, and the IDF is a wicked organization. This is far from being the first occurrence of physical, psychological or sexual violence inflicted on Palestinian children by Israel, and I hope justice gets served.

Western journalism has completely failed. The way they massage headlines and articles to never implicate Israel and always blame or dehumanize Palestinians is so gross. I can't wait to see them go the way of Apartheid South Africa.

100% agree. And that’s because the mainstream journalism lives from being financed by influential lobbies. Social media like Twitter, Telegram, Instagram and TikTok, despite all their flaws, are the reason we are able to see what is truly happening around the world, not just in Palestine, through the eyes of the people who are living there.

But South Africa was mass boycotted in every way. There wasn't one politician, sportsperson or musician who wasn't afraid to speak out against the SA apartheid regime. Unfortunately it is not the same with the Israeli apartheid regime. Our sports teams are still playing against theirs and our musicians are still holding shows in Israel. It's a different world now.

They don’t see this toddler as a human being. Their education system and state media have conditioned them to view these people as subhuman, as threats that need to be killed.  Once you understand that level of dehumanization, you start to understand how these atrocities become not just possible and sane, but routine and expected.

This is what happens when a group of people doesn’t believe another group of people are humans. I was shocked and appalled when a (now former) friend of mine talked about Palestinians as though they weren’t actually humans. But that was just some random Israel supporting ex-friend, 10 years ago. I can only imagine how pervasive it is within the ranks of the actual Israeli military.

I\`m surprised the Israeli\`s havent claimed the toddler was an attempted suicide bomber. Sounds extremely far fetched unless your like me.. saw footage of Israeli Soldiers offering a young boy of about 7 years old sweets to wear unbeknown to him, a suicide bomb vest. What they were doing was attempting to stage \`an incident\` as cover for their murder of children. They had hoped to get the young boy to wear the vest & then to walk towards an imbedded Israeli machine gun nest whereupon they could open fire with this all being recorded by their own film .. they could point to the young boy & say this is how evil Hamas are, they brainwash children into becoming suicide bombers & at the same time giving them cover for their countless murders of children .. Luckily the young boy when he was at the bottom of the road disappeared into the neighbourhood leaving the staged suicide vest behind him Never Trust An Israeli Soldier. Never! ..

Honestly not surprising considering they have already killed over 22,000 innocent children in Gaza so far. Israel is a lunatic state who has kept electing the party with the most radical and openly genocidal rhetoric for decades. Insane how Americans don’t have a mass-revolt when hundreds of billions of their taxpayer-dollars go towards funding Israel’s war crimes. Israel has universal healthcare, free education, state funded housing, birth incentives like paid maternity/paternity leave and yet Americans are still sending THEM money? 😂😅

They tortured a baby to make the father “talk”. This is why Jeffrey Epstein was able to operate with impunity, his handlers are the Israeli Zionist members of the Israeli military and government, they have no qualms about the torture and r*** of children

I can tell you right now why they did that to the kid. They probably tortured the toddler in front of the father to coax him into confessing to being a member of Hamas. I have a 4yo son. I would say just about anything, sacrifice myself it he was suffering like that.

If you've followed Gaza news over the last 20 years stuff like this has been happening however it would always get shut down as "anti-semetic." Kids getting shot in the back, people disappearing, allegations of r*** and torture, I was learning about it on foreign news, docs, forums, and early youtube. Every single time somebody tried to bring it up on Western news outlets the interview always ended immediately and sometimes not even with a "Oh...thanks for your time we have to go!." This is Israeli through and through and looking into the history of the early "settlers" back in the early 1900s it always has been. A project by religious extremists who the west turns a blind eye to because the use said project for expanding ME hegemony.

I remember reading about when Mossad went after the terrorists responsible for the Munich massacre. They killed some of their targets, but often killed innocent bystanders because they used car bombs in most cases. In at least one case, a target that they killed wasn't even the guy they were looking for. It was some random innocent dude who they thought was their target. And they got away with it too. They also assassinated nuclear scientists in Iran, even the ones that weren't part of the nuclear program.

I’m off the fence. They are out of control. It’s disgusting. At least Israel is no longer winning at the propaganda war. No one believes that their goal is anything but genocide. I wasn’t two minutes into a conversation with an Israeli couple in Thailand last year when he lowered his voice and told me “we would like to kill them all” in regards to Gaza. His wife nodded in agreement.

We should all be more critical of the headlines we read Even according to Palestinian sources, the father chose to carry his toddler toward an active combat zone while approaching military lines. The child was then safely returned to his family within 10 hours Regardless of your politics, bringing a baby to a direct military confrontation is the definition of child endangerment. It’s also worth noting the father is a Hamas operative who participated in the Oct 7th massacre - an event defined by the intentional slaughter of children. We have to ask why a parent would put their own child in such a position, if not for the sake of a narrative

Collective punishment of civilians—especially children—is a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions. It is indefensible. The killing and suffering of innocent Palestinians is indefensible. Harming babies—regardless of who their parents are—is always wrong. Israel, has NO right to harm civilians. Those responsible must be held accountable without exception. There is no justification for targeting children. None. Anyone who tries to excuse it has abandoned basic morality.
