I have read, and I appreciated your point of view. I also felt that your characterization of prison conditions is weak (again, commendable because apart from a minority like you, Israelis do not appear to care).
I don't disagree with you. The situation in the security prisons in Israel is horrific. The law firm where I do my internship represents many Palestinians and I am certainly aware of this.

in Hebrew out of a desire to reach a wider Israeli audience and have an impact where it is relevant. Originally I also wanted to publish in a nore mainstream newspaper, but unfortunately they didn't want to.
I don't read it as suggesting that that is the only, or even a good, reason not to torture. At first glance, it seems a rather obvious pushback on Netanyahu propaganda...
Dov's brother was killed while genociding babies in Gaza in Feb 2024.
Their mom Varda is from Silver Spring MD and she CHOSE to move to be a settler in Israel, and offer up her boys to killing the indigenous population. Now she grieves Maoz?? And Dov asks us to be sad for his genocidal brother?
Dov lost his brother - IDF Staff Sgt Maoz Morell, killed while carrying out genocide in Gaza on February 15, 2024. Dov claims to have reformed from being a genocidal extremist hilltop youth, but he still has no issues with the genocide his brother carried out?
Ah, Haaretz. For settlers, torturing indigenous people for resistance isn't anathema by itself. Liberal settlers have to be sainted and celebrated for abjuring "revenge." You realize YOU created the problem?

This is way beyond prison conditions of Palestinians.
Your article, although in the right spirit, does not do justice to what is actually happening to Palestinians.
