Socialist MP Tony Benn died 12 years ago today.

Benn spent his life fighting for democracy and socialism. At a time when his Labour Party was lurching rightward, he stood steadfast in the way of neoliberalism and militarism.

Hear his words about war on the Middle East.

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.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

“I do not wish to overstate the point, but pause for a moment and consider: if Russia had killed 167 Ukrainian schoolgirls, if Palestinians had killed 167 Israeli schoolgirls, if Iran had killed 167 schoolgirls, it would have been the biggest news story in the world for years.”

We now face being dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East which has now pulled in multiple countries. People in this country do not want this and it must not be allowed to happen.

[Sayeeda Warsi @SayeedaWarsi]

An attack on Iran as Oman report significant progress on Iran US talks is a clear indication that an indicted Israeli Prime Minister mired in the genocide in Gaza and an Epstein compromised US President are dangerously out of control. Two men making the world unsafe for all of us

Please stop calling Matt Goodwin Matt Badloss. He really hates it, so whatever you do don’t share this with the hashtag #MattBadloss to get it trending.

Hereditary supremacy is a medieval belief and any self-respecting nation should elect its head of state.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Looks like Tony Blair is very determined to confirm his status as one of the worst persons alive.

His speech is pure 19th century colonialism: he frames the Gaza issue as one of "ineffective governance" on the part of the Palestinians, without as much as mentioning the 17-year blockade, the occupation, or the small matter of the deadliest assault on a civilian population this century.

I'd love to understand how you build "effective institutions" when:
- Your airport was destroyed by Israel in 2001
- Your seaport is blockaded
- Building materials are banned as "dual use"
- Your university gets bombed every few years
- Your civil servants can't travel for training
- Your economy is strangled by design
- Your people and government officials are routinely killed in devastating attacks

And he uses this, the eminently predictable outcome of this continuous strangling of a people, as evidence that they can't govern themselves and that they require outside management by the architects of their immiseration.

Absolutely repugnant, no other word for it.
