🇵🇸 Palestinians recount abuse inside Israeli prisons
Testimonies gathered by +972 Magazine from Palestinians released from Israeli prisons in recent weeks — both as part of the ceasefire agreement and independently of it — paint a picture of a surge in abuse and humiliation inside prison cells, in interrogation rooms, and during arrests. According to these testimonies, Israeli forces and prison authorities have used methods of #torture, threatened to #rape a female detainee and her young daughter, and beaten a prisoner to death — one of six Palestinians known to have died in Israeli custody since October 7.

🇵🇸 Documentation of the rape of a Palestinian who was kidnapped last March from the #Jabalia refugee camp by fighters from #Unit100 of the Israeli occupation army in the "Sde Timan" concentration camp.
After hours, he was transferred to the hospital, bleeding and suffering from a torn rectum, ruptured bowels, damaged lungs, and broken ribs.
It was found that two soldiers suspected in the rape case were lying in a lie detector test, where they were asked two identical questions. The first: "Did you insert an object into the Palestinian's anus during the search?" The second:
"Are you hiding the identity of the person who inserted an object into the Palestinian's anus?" They answered both questions with denial. The examiner found that with regard to both questions, they were lying.

🇵🇸 Israel is in a death spiral. Who will it take down with it? | J.Cook
Why should it be of any surprise that Israel’s self-proclaimed “most moral army in the world” uses #torture and #rape against Palestinians?
After all, this is the same military that for 10 months has used #starvation as a weapon of war against the 2.3 million people of #Gaza, half of them children.
It is the same military that since October has laid waste to all of Gaza’s hospitals, as well as destroying almost all of its schools and 70 percent of its homes. It is the same military that is known to have killed over that period at least 40,000 Palestinians, with a further 21,000 children missing.
It is the same military currently on trial for #genocide at the International Court of Justice (#ICJ), the highest court in the world.
If there are no red lines for Israel when it comes to brutalising Palestinian civilians trapped inside Gaza, why would there be any red lines for those kidnapped off its streets and dragged into its dungeons?

🇵🇸 Why Israeli Soldiers Rape | Ramzy Baroud for MintPress
Historically, Israel has carried out #massacres with a specific political strategy in mind: to instill the desired fear to drive Palestinians off their land. Deir Yassin, Tantura and the over 70 documented massacres during the Palestinian #Nakba, or Catastrophe, are cases in point.
Israel has also utilized torture, rape and other forms of sexual assault to achieve similar ends in the past, to exact information or to break down the will of prisoners.
UN-affiliated experts said in a report published on August 5 that “these practices are intended to punish Palestinians for resisting #occupation and seek to destroy them individually and collectively.”
In a report entitled ‘Welcome to Hell,’ published on August 5, the Israeli rights group, #Btselem, said that Israel’s detention “facilities, in which every inmate is deliberately subjected to harsh, relentless pain and suffering, operate as de-facto #TortureCamps.”

🇵🇸 Exposed: The US and Canadian Funding Behind Israeli Soldiers Accused of Rape
Cuffed and blindfolded 24 hours a day. Confined to animal pens. Attacked by dogs. This is reportedly the treatment of Palestinian detainees at Sde Teiman, an Israeli military base in the #NaqabDesert. While claims of torture and abuse at the facility began circulating in December, the Israeli military did not open an investigation into the allegations until July 29, when 10 Israeli soldiers were detained on suspicion of sexually abusing a detainee
MintPress uncovers the financial and political infrastructure, including from the #US and #Canada, backing these soldiers through tax-exempt organizations and crowdfunding platforms. This marks a disturbing shift in global support for human rights violations, now extending even to those implicated in the Israeli military’s acts of #SexualViolence.
