Rape in war

Israeli soldiers and prison guards systematically rape Palestinian prisoners with sticks, rifles and dogs. Even if you are an ardent supporter of Israel, you have to admit this is on the extreme end of depraved.

By way of example, CCTV captured the rape of one Palestinian detainee by 5 soldiers at the Sde Teiman military prison. The incident left the detainee with internal injuries needing hospitalisation. The soldiers were initially charged with aggravated abuse and causing serious bodily harm, but all charges have since been dropped.

There were mass demonstrations at the prison, joined by politicians who, declared expressly, at the prison and inside the Knesset, that rape is a legitimate weapon of war - because physical and psychological abuse and systematic torture is not enough. They said "Palestinians deserved it".

This is just one small part of the sickness that is Israel.
