    00:43 he looks bodily in shape and well nourished like many of the prisoners you see in the videos, you would expect them to be undernourished and in horrible condition

    For someone that was just a number in prison, he was pretty well groomed. This reminds me of the 2011 ish white helmet Hollywood movies they would make in Syria. THESE ARE STAGED LIES. DON’T BUY INTO IT. AL JAZEER is not credible. They only have good reporting on Palestine, and that’s to gain your trust so they can manipulate with other news.
