Israelis love rape almost as much as they love thieving and murder.

Their only real competition is the current US Administration.

An outcome that surprised no one. Let's hope the ICC can put their hands on them.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 1 points 55 minutes ago

If the ICC says something they don't like, the ICC's USA based infrastructure seizes up the next day. It happened already with one person that was targeted. ICC is working to kick out USA tech for that reason.

Accused? It was on video. The dropping of charges mean they know what they did and are okay with it because the victims aren't humans to their own country. I never want to hear that there is no Israeli apartheid again from these fucking demons.

But there's no paid propaganda slop NYT article from a food blogger filled with contradictory testimonies about how Khamas raped everyone despite no rape victim ever being named. Only video footage of the IDF raping them.

Iirc, Israel is also a pedophile and sexual criminal safe haven because they dont consider it assault if its against a non jewish person. As a jewish person, that is fucking disgusting and the country should be erased.

Every step of the way, Israel thinks they’re being tough and making people fear them. In reality, they’re committing reputational suicide and taking us down with them. They’re not just pulverizing terrified children into gray powder, they’re destroying anyone’s respect for them and any benefit of the doubt they might ever enjoy again.

The fact is, they see them as lower than animals, because animal abuse is forbidden and sanctioned. The chosen ones have standards obviously.

The Israeli state no longer pretend that they have morals or values. This is outright admission they are abusers rapists murders. The entire state should be put on trial for war crimes.

It's no coincidence that 81% of sexual assault and harassment complaints were closed without an indictment

According to the ARCCI, 59 percent of complaints received by crisis centers involved harm to minors under 18, and 28 percent involved victims under the age of 12.

Straight up evil

[–] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 6 hours ago

Of course.

Eighty uears of jingoistic propaganda, institutional racism, religious exceptionalism, brazen lies and open hatred has made Israel into a nation of psychopaths

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world -3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

A video of the alleged assault, which was aired by Israeli news, shows soldiers taking a detainee into an area they cordoned off with shields in an apparent attempt to hide their actions. The indictment said the soldiers assaulted the Palestinian prisoner and sodomized him with a knife, causing multiple injuries.

A medical staffer familiar with the case who spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear for his safety said the detainee arrived at a civilian hospital in life-threatening condition with blunt trauma to the abdomen and the chest and fractured ribs.

What do ~~Jews~~ Israelis like to call themselves? God's "Chosen People"...?

[–] BertramDitore@lemmy.zip 18 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

We’re talking about Israelis. I’m a Jew and I find these crimes to be completely disgusting and unacceptable.

Your casual conflation helps no one, especially the Palestinian victims of genocide and these particular crimes against humanity.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world -3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Fair.

However the harm here is caused by Israelis (and their gov) completely owning the brand, sorry for the spill over

Your casual conflation helps no one, especially the Palestinian victims of genocide and these particular crimes against humanity.

I sincerely doubt generalizations are a real cause of concerns for Palestinian people at the moment

Conflating Judaism and Zionism is a Zionist design, to deflect criticism of Israel as antisemitic and also foment actual antisemitic sentiment

since the times of the Bible it seems...

Ilan Pappe: Zionism began as a Christian project

Zionism began as an evangelical Christian concept and later an active project. It appeared as a religious appeal to the faithful both to aid and be prepared for the ‘return of the Jews’ to Palestine and the establishment of a Jewish state there as the fulfilment of God’s will. But soon after, the Christians involved in this campaign politicised this ‘theology of return’, once they realised that a similar notion had begun to emerge among European Jews, who despaired of finding a solution to the never-ending anti-Semitism on the continent. The Christian desire to see a Jewish Palestine coincided with a similar European Jewish vision in the late nineteenth century.

But the Zionist lobby didn’t confine itself to Christian evangelicals. Jews, looking for a solution to seemingly intractable oppression in Europe, started to rally around the idea of a state of their own – with visions ranging from a socialist Utopia on Palestinian soil to a modern state in alliance with the Western imperial powers.
