Testimonies from Palestinians detained at the Nazareth police station during the May uprising reveal graphic reports of extreme psychological and physical abuse at the hands of Israeli special forces. “It was a madhouse, there is no other way to describe it,” detainee Carlo Roushroush tells Mondoweiss.

In recent weeks Palestinian rights advocates have faced varying forms of censorship across social media while the same heavy-handed regulation has not been enforced for Israeli content, allowing hate speech and incitement against Palestinians to spread unfettered. Former Facebook executive Ashraf Zeitoon tells Mondoweiss, “This is part of a smart system and it is a deliberate, systematic silencing of Palestinian voices due to pressure from the Israeli government…there is no sugar coating it.”
