Israel can't ban journalists from going into Lebanon like they can in Gaza, so when Israel claimed there was a bunker under a hospital in Beirut the press just sent a bunch of reporters to investigate and they immediately saw Israel was lying. That's why they ban press from Gaza.
After the U.S. dropped the nuclear bomb on Japan, a famous image emerged of a child carrying his brother, saying, “He is not heavy, he is my brother.”
Now, the scene repeats itself again, this time in Gaza, with the same perpetrator funding and contributing in the crime.
I’m a reporter on the ground in North Gaza, and I’m here to tell you that no aid has entered the besieged area for the past 21 days. The Israeli and American governments are spreading inaccurate information.
Look at the replies. Yahya Sinwar, a resistance leader who fought for his people to his last breath, will always have more respect than you, an empty suit perpetrating genocide to please your masters. You are nobody and no-one and your fake little "Sir" title from your tin pot "kingdom" can't elevate you from the gutter you came from.
The Haditha Massacre Photos, suppressed by the US military, have been obtained and published by @Newyorker. 24 Iraqi civilians, including children, were killed by US Marines - many shot in the head at close range 👉https://t.co/TQ3gpBUxOj
🇺🇸🇮🇶🚨‼️ IRAQ: The Haditha Massacre!
U.S. Marines killed 24 people, including little children, in an Iraqi town and recorded the aftermath of their actions.
The military tried to keep these photos from the public. No weapons were found and a military investigation determined that the dead were civilians.
🧵1/ LOOK AT THE THREAD
Picture: A mother, Asmaa Salman Raseef, thirty-two, and her four-year-old son, Abdullah, lie dead in the corner of their living room.
Asmaa's arm is around her son, perhaps in a final attempt to protect him. Asmaa appears to be injured in the upper back.
Abdullah was determined by military investigators to have a bullet wound in his head. N.C.I.S. investigators concluded that the Marine who shot Abdullah was likely standing less than six teet away.
Is Israel conducting live human experimentation on Palestinians at Sde Teiman?
New testimonies of torture pour out of Israel's Sde Teiman torture camp each week. In a recent one, a Gaza physician said he was "suspended from a chain attached to handcuffs, electroshocked, denied medical care for broken ribs caused by beatings, and administered what he believed was a psychoactive drug before interrogations." https://t.co/T3cv8y5Q4I
Another former detainee says a visibly bleeding prisoner told him “three soldiers took turns raping him with an M16 [assault rifle]." https://t.co/1yajBY17qo
The Israeli human rights group B'tselem documented similarly perverse examples of torture in its voluminous report, "Welcome to Hell: The Israeli Prison System as a Network of Torture Camps." https://t.co/oOWZbaYe90
These reports build on video evidence of systemic gang rape by Israeli soldiers against male Palestinian prisoners. https://t.co/QaVHt2fZJy
The torture taking place inside apartheid Israel's archipelago of detention camps seems unprecedented in recent years, both in terms of volume and the level of sadism being applied. On Israel's Channel 12, a prominent pundit complained that the only problem with soldiers raping Palestinian prisoners is that the act has not been formally regulated. https://t.co/8TzjxFZQuK
But it is likely that Israel's post-October 7 torture regime has already been institutionalized. Which means that it is being monitored by medical professionals, and advised by psychologists, whose identities remain hidden from the public.
So the logical question is, are Israeli medical professionals studying the torture taking place in Sde Teiman and other dungeons for future application? In other words, is live human experimentation taking place on Palestinians who were kidnapped from Gaza? And will Israel export its methods to allies like the US after its work is done?
Japan's notorious Unit 731 practiced live human experimentation, including organ harvesting and biological weapons, on prisoners it kidnapped during World War II. After the war, the US gave immunity to Unit 731 researchers in exchange for the data they acquired through their vivisection and abuse of live prisoners. The US government not only covered up their crimes, it furnished the Japanese unit's veterans with stipends. https://t.co/k2ewDUvEmC
During the so-called war on terror, the CIA appointed Pentagon psychologists like James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen to devise and document the torture methods applied to 9/11 suspects like Abu Zubeidah and other detainees at the Gitmo black site. Mitchell and Jessen's company received over $80 million in contracts to preside over the CIA's post-9/11 torture regime. A lawsuit by Abu Zubaydah alleges Mitchell and Jessen were not seeking actionable intelligence, but rather, were using him as "a guinea pig for untested interrogation methods, laying the groundwork for what provided them a hugely lucrative contracting business to provide detention and interrogation personnel to the CIA and the US Defense Department."
This November, as Israel prepared to invade Gaza's Al-Shifa Hospital and kidnap its doctors, a group of more than 90 Jewish Israeli physicians authored a letter declaring their support for attacks on Palestinian hospitals. Among those who signed the letter branding Gazan hospitals as "terror nests" were several Israeli pediatricians. https://t.co/zn24eugXZx
Israel is a comprehensively sick society whose economy has thrived off the exportation of weapons and methods of repression tested on the occupied Palestinian population over an almost eight decade span. Investigators must now ask whether Tel Aviv is repeating the most heinous crimes of history, advancing the legacy of Japan's Unit 731, the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, and Mitchell and Jessen behind the walls of its torture camps.
US policy at this point seems to just hope the internet doesn't exist and that people can't actually read about Israeli officials repeatedly rejecting the ceasefire. The policy is basically fake it til you make it or kill all the Palestinians.
