Waleed Ahmad’s death in Israeli custody highlights the systemic issues of administrative detention, which violates Palestinian rights to liberty, due process, self-determination, and freedom from torture. Israel’s practices, legal under its own laws, mirror Nazi Germany’s use of legal detention to oppress, with similar laws denying judicial redress.

Comparison: - Nazi Detention: Legally sanctioned by Nazi laws (Reichstag Fire Decree, Nuremberg Laws) that stripped Jews of rights, including judicial redress, leading to genocide with the intent to exterminate. - Israeli Detention: Legally sanctioned by Israeli laws (Emergency Powers Law, Military Order 1651) that strip Palestinians of rights, including judicial redress, through secret evidence and unfair military courts. While administrative detention aims to control, broader actions in Gaza, including a parliamentary letter advocating for the destruction of life-sustaining resources and killing of civilians, suggest genocidal intent.

Similar Laws: Both Nazi Germany and Israel enacted laws that suspend fundamental rights, deny judicial redress, and target specific groups, enabling state-sanctioned oppression. Evidence from Amnesty International, Holocaust scholars, and the parliamentary letter indicates that Israel’s actions in Gaza may be intentionally genocidal, as they align with the UN Convention’s definition of genocide through killing and inflicting conditions of life aimed at physical destruction.
