Horrific images show Palestinian prisoners in Israeli custody

Israeli treatment of Palestinian detainees is sparking calls of concern from the global community. With images of detainees stripped down, humiliated, and possibly mistreated, the United States has weighed in with a call for more information. There is concern that the detainees are being dehumanized and mistreated, conditions that not only reflect poorly on Israel but also incite rage and anger in the region. This week, the actions have been compared to the images of United States detainment and torture from the Iraq War. Even as this treatment sparks outrage, Israel remains focused on showcasing its defense dominance and strength during the violence. A government spokesman claims that the videos were not released officially and the images might reflect necessary precautions by soldiers against Hamas in the region. The United States, however, insists on seeking answers regarding the treatment and public release of the images.
