The Spin
Pro-Palestine narrative
By subjecting Palestinian detainees to degrading physical and mental violence and abuse, including denial of medical care, Israel has defied its obligations under domestic and international law. The Netanyahu government must be held accountable for running an apartheid regime and committing horrific crimes against Palestinians — or such cruel mistreatment would be normalized across Israel's jail system.
Pro-Israel narrative
Allegations of systematic abuse and torture of Palestinian detainees in Israel's prisons are fabricated, inaccurate, and completely blown out of proportion to tarnish Israel's image. On the contrary, Israel is making every effort to address alleged individual cases of abuse of prisoners at its facilities. B'Tselem’s report has purposely omitted the instances of deliberate provocations by Palestinians, indicating its findings are dubious.
