One of 50 Palestinian men released from Israeli jails has spoken to Al Jazeera about his experience.
Yousef Miqdad was imprisoned in 2002 for being a member of the armed wing of the Palestinian group, Fatah.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Gaza.

You are supporting terrorists who even betrayed their own people by hiding behind their women & children in the hope that when they die, these savages will blame Israel.

@@jonnyh9388 For those who don't know, Johnny is a pathetic repeater of Israeli propaganda. He is so ignorant that he failed to notice that most, not all, but most of the things the Israeli accuse Palestinians of doing on October 7th never happened. Most Israelis who lived in the attacked villages who immediately said that this or that happened to them all mostly came out after a while saying that nothing they said ever happened that they were in fact coached to say those things. At the very most, a few hundred Israelis were killed on that day, some by IDF intentional or unintentional crossfire, the IDF has already admitted in the past that if they cannot rescue hostages that were kidnapped by Palestinians they would rather kill them then do a deal with Palestinians and this is exactly what happened on October 7th if you don't believe me just take the time to look up the footage of Israeli Apache helicopter firing at what is clearly Hamas or other Palestinian militant walking side by side with Israeli captives and the helicopter shoots at them and kills them when it is very easy to make out that they are shooting at their own. If you believe the wrong that Palestinians did commit on that day warrants destroying everything that supports life in Gaza as well as mostly women and children, then you sir are a psychopath. The Palestinians will keep having a reason for attacks like October 7 until Israel corrects the wrong of the Nakba by leaving the West Bank and stopping all blockade on Palestinian territory so the economy can finally grow like it should.

I am heartbroken for the loss of his daughter. I am from Pakistan and no day goes without praying for the Gazans. This is the least thing we can do for that. But as soon as we mention our Pakistani identity we are reminded of black september 1966. The common Pakistani lay men had no role in black September. We are only committed to Palestinians.
Hearing all this, my soul trembled. Could a human do so much injustice to another human? No way. Israelis are no doubt inhuman nation.
