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.

Last year, Bisan interviewed a 5-year-old Palestinian child, Faisal Al Khaldi, who recalled watching Israeli soldiers murdering both his parents in front of him.
Netanyahu invokes the Torah to frame Iran as Amalek. He has also quoted it in the context of Gaza. Mike Huckabee says Israel could claim the entire Middle East because the Bible promised it. But according to Marco Rubio, it is Iran fighting a war based on a dangerous theology.

✝️💔☪️ This photo was taken in Damascus in 1899.
The dwarf is Samir. He is a Christian and cannot walk. The one who carries him on his back is Muhammad. He is a Muslim and he is blind.
Muhammad relies on Samir to tell him where to go, and Samir uses his friend's back to navigate the city streets. They were both orphans and lived in the same room.
Samir was a hakawati, he had the gift of narration and told stories of a thousand and one nights to the customers of a cafe in Damascus, Muhammad sold bolbolas in front of the same cafe and liked to listen to his friend's stories.
One day, when he retired to his room, Muhammad found his companion dead. He wept and mourned his friend for seven days straight. When asked how they got along so well, being of different religions, he said only this:
"Here we were the same", pointing with his hand to his heart.

"A woman at your home is the flower of the house ,she is not your servant.
A flower needs your love not orders, she will give fragrance & colour to your home in exchange."
Wonderful speech by #Khameinei on women.
No wonder the Misogynist Peadophiliac Trump hated him.
