For over a year and a half, the Israeli occupation, supported by NATO countries, has sought to distort the moral and humanitarian stances of Palestinian resistance, using global media to push the Israeli narrative during its genocidal campaign. However, in just moments, the Palestinian resistance shattered this false narrative, creating a new story rooted in the values of its people, revealing the truth about their struggle.

While the occupation paints an image of prisoners in good physical and psychological health, claiming their detention is humane—except for the fear of bombardment and targeting—another truth emerges. Palestinian prisoners endure horrific suffering in Israeli prisons, including abuse, torture, and even murder. Samah Hijawi, a freed prisoner, contrasts the two images: "The enemy's female prisoners appeared in the most beautiful image any prisoner could wish for," she says, referring to the preferential treatment Israeli prisoners receive compared to the severe mistreatment of Palestinian detainees.

Hijawi, arrested twice—once on October 7, 2023, and again in January 2025—details her experiences of abuse and harsh detention conditions. She recalls the suffering: minimal food, water filled with rust and chlorine, isolation, and deprivation of basic rights like prayer. "It felt like a grave," she says, describing solitary confinement. Despite these brutal conditions, her release came through a resistance deal, contrasting sharply with the privileged treatment of Israeli prisoners.

Hijawi highlights the profound moral difference between the two sides, saying, "When I saw the Israeli female prisoners, I realized that it is fundamentally unjust to compare my people with this Nazi occupier." She laments how the world turns a blind eye to the thousands of Palestinian prisoners enduring inhumane conditions, while the release of Israeli prisoners is presented as a moment of joy and dignity.

Reflecting on her release, Samah recalls, "These are unforgettable days; moments of anticipation and joy until we reach our families, with our tears, wounds, and pains." Despite the trauma, she is rebuilding her life: "It is not easy to rebuild your life from nothing, but I am trying."
