Gaza 1989: The Forgotten History of Abductions, Detentions, and Torture Long Before Oct 7
December 4, 2025
They want you to believe history began on October 7 but Palestinians have lived through decades of abductions, disappearances, and detentions without charge. 1989 wasn’t an exception, it was the rule. Entire generations stolen, silenced, caged, long before the world finally decided to look.
Don’t let them rewrite the timeline. Don’t let them erase the truth.

English Script:
Reporter: Behind me stands Ansar two, a prison camp on the Gaza Strip. This camp, surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards, is one of nearly a dozen such camps now holding 5000 Palestinians doctors, lawyers, children from the refugee camps, students, labor leaders, human rights activists, journalists. Most are being held without charge or trial, some for months on end, labeled simply as security offenders. All that is necessary under current administrative Israeli law to detain them for months on end. You’re here at the detention center to visit your son. Is that correct? What happened to him?
Palestinian woman: They took him from the house at 2 a.m. in the morning. And they accused him of throwing stones. And they are fining him something like $700.
Reporter: And how long have they kept him yet in the detention center?
Palestinian woman: They sentenced him for five months in jail and $700 Fine.
Reporter:They sentenced him for five months in jail, $700 fine. And he’s 16 years old, and it was for throwing stones.
Palestinian woman: Yeah.
Reporter:Is that right? Are the other children afraid as the result of what’s happened too? Or are they continuing the work of the intifada?
Palestinian woman: They are afraid, and everybody is afraid. They have been looking for this boy. They came twice to locate him. Why? What do they think he had done? They think that he’s throwing stones.
Reporter: And so they want to arrest him?
Palestinian woman: Yeah. They have looked for him twice.
Reporter: They would put him in jail? Small boys in this age are in jail.
Palestinian woman: All these boys.
Reporter: All these boys.
Palestinian woman: How are we supposed to feel when we see our children beaten by the Israelis? Sometimes we are asleep, and all of a sudden we see soldiers jumping over the wall to the house. And they destroy everything in the house.
Reporter: The jails are not only filled with these young boys, but also the intellectuals, the educated and affluent Palestinians now flooding the prisons.
