Insane framing.
He was anally gang-raped.
He was severely beaten and then anally gang-raped on camera. Both a knife and a taser were reportedly used.
There was a hole in his rectal wall. He got surgery for it.
Because he was anally gang-raped by the IDF (on camera).
He also had 7 broken ribs and other injuries as well.
After it happened, Israelis staged multiple large protests in the streets. Not because they believe these soldiers did anything wrong, but because they were infuriated that the soldiers were arrested for anally gang-raping a Palestinian on camera.
These protests weren’t just random people. They included multiple high ranking Knesset members (their Congress) who defended the anal gang/rapists.
They didn’t stop there. They went after the lawyer who leaked the video. She was publicly smeared, was forced to resign, and was arrested.
And now the anal gang-rapists who were caught on camera have had their charges dropped. They didn’t win in court. They weren’t somehow exonerated. The charges were completely and indefensibly dropped. The Jerusalem Post reports that there was sufficient evidence to take this to trial.
This is part of a larger pattern of torture and impunity. NYT and many other major outlets have extensively detailed the abuses at the Sde Teiman torture factory. NYT reported that Prisoners lose 30+ pounds, a nurse was anally raped by a metal rod, another man was raped by a dog, and another was anally raped by a fiery hit rod until he died. Yes, the NYT reported all of that. I’ll share sources in the replies. Torture and sexual assault are commonplace at Sde Teiman, and many prisoners die in the process.
The UN concluded that rape from IDF soldiers is so commonplace that it constitutes official “strategy of war”.
And of course these monsters virtually never face jail time. Because Israelis by and large don’t have any problem with any of it.
This is just what their society does.
They torture Palestinians.
Nick Saban: oh god oh fuck players are getting paid now I have to retire immediately and complain about it on TV for the rest of my life
Curt Cignetti: here’s my army of 3 star recruits. I turned them all into millionaires. They’re going to castrate you.
I texted my husband at 10am that I received bad news about my father’s health and within 15 mins he was at my office, had already called my assistant to clear my calendar (before I could even walk to her office) and put me in the car to go to the hospital. He sat with me for 8 hours in an uncomfortable chair, he lost his entire work day including a court appearance, made sure my mom and I stayed hydrated (important), asked questions to doctors that I couldn’t think of, and never once complained.
I am sure there are millions of partners who have done the same in a loved one’s time of need but in my line of work it is easy to forget what love truly looks like.
If they want to they will.
Man, I really like Carlie Irsay-Gordon from the little snippets I’ve seen from her. Hopefully when I die my daughters will run my NCAA 26 Dynasty team with this much attention
