I keep hearing that the detention center is a "private" entity

You know...the one that Senator Merkley was denied access to. I have a lot of questions, but one in particular.
HOW IN THE FUCK IS IT NOT KIDNAPPING IF A PRIVATE ENTITY HAS CHILDREN LOCKED IN CAGES???

What is the latest on this travesty please? Does anyone have an update?

This is so maddening that I can barely type...

Israeli forces killed a Palestinian nurse on Friday as she tried to help a wounded protester at the Gaza border, according to health officials and a witness, while Israel said militants had attacked its troops with gunfire and a grenade.

Razan Al-Najar’s death brought to 119 the number of Palestinians killed in weekly demonstrations launched on March 30 in the Gaza Strip, an enclave controlled by the Islamist group Hamas and long subject to grinding Israeli and Egyptian embargoes.

Najar, a 21-year-old volunteer medic, was shot as she ran toward the fortified border fence, east of the south Gaza city of Khan Younis, in a bid to reach a casualty, a witness said.

Wearing a white uniform, “she raised her hands high in a clear way, but Israeli soldiers fired and she was hit in the chest,” the witness, who requested anonymity, told Reuters.

At her house in Khan Younis, Najar’s mother collapsed in grief as she was handed her daughter’s blood-stained uniform.

BTW, "There have been no Israeli casualties during the border confrontations, but Israel has reported extensive damage to farmland"
