Welcome to Hell: The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps
There's a very strange, contradictory line of thinking in the minds of many Americans that goes something like, "well, if the Jews were the victims in WWII, then they either A) couldn't possibly inflict violence on others because they must know better, or B) they deserve to inflict violence on the Palestinians — the Holocaust!"
And then there's the Zionist justification for this violence. "Israel must be kept safe and secure by any means necessary. Look at what happens when the Jews don't have a nation-state — the Holocaust!" This particular jingoism is well-received by the American Right, as they justified torture — oh, sorry, "enhanced interrogation" — in the years after 9/11.
"Look at what the Palestinians did to us on October 7th!" is not a justification for doing to them what Hamas did to you. Israel, you can't proclaim to be more civilized, then behave just as poorly.
"Look what they made us do" is the twisted logic of a child, not an adult.
