What my own eyes see? You then sent a video where you can't see shit, half the video it looks like he's on the floor and they're kicking the shit out of him. Also in another comment I stated that a big part of my difficulty to believe the issue is as wide spread as you are saying is because the overall poor standards of evidence and shitty journalism.

The incident of supposed rape started with a report that a prisoner had been transferred from the Sde Teiman camp with anus and rectal injuries, but every article I can find (from Haaertz, Times of Israel, Middle East Eye, Al Jazeera, and People's Dispatch) only reference a report without saying where the report came from or who released it, it's just a report that's out there but no one knows where. Secondly the IDF went to the prison as part of their investigation and fought the guards because they were refusing to cooperate with military police. Yes right wing Israeli's rioted, but that's hardly proof that the entire country is onboard with that and each picture of the riot it's like 50 people. Furthermore the IDF put one reservist in prison in February 2025 for punching handcuffed and blindfolded prisoners. To prove the point, there are cases going through the Israeli Supreme Court right now to potentially close the prison. The court has not yet decided to close the prison but they phased out long term detention in June 2024, issued a compliance order in September 2024, and in September 2025 made rulings that the government is intentionally denying prisoners adequate nutrition and must meet required prisoner standards.

Are some Israeli's or members of the IDF doing these things, probably so, but I have a hard time believing it's a systemic problem throughout their whole culture especially when no one can seem to provide any actual evidence, the IDF appear to be acting how they should to such allegations, and the country's supreme court is actively making rulings against the government for the treatment of prisoners.

The standards of evidence/proof are so shitty that one person can say something on twitter, a journalist uses it as a reference for an article, their article gets copied a dozen times, and suddenly that counts as proof. Then a claim like this escalates with the logic that if it happened over here then it must be happening everywhere.

Largely in part because of an overall poor standard of evidence and multiple different forms of bias to perpetuate "proof." A lot of people, even here, are pointing to the UN commission reports, but they don't really look beyond the legitimacy of the UN to determine if it's accurate.

The commission is made up of 3 people, at least one of which has made statements about jews controlling social media. In their report on their findings they state that their methodology for their reports was by pairing digital content with victim and witness testimony, but then state that the standard of proof was if 1 or more testimonies corroborated the digital content.

That's not proof in my eyes.

Let me just say, earnestly, THANK YOU. I haven't read your link yet, but you are the first person to respond with an actual response to the given question. I'm gonna take a few minutes to read what you linked, if I have any thought's I'll post an edit.}

EDIT: This is disturbing news, but it's hardly evidence of systemic actions. I like the BBC a lot, but the testimonies given aren't surprising. I'm all for condemning the actions stated, but they are also second hand accounts. For example the account of sexual misconduct comes from only one person interviewed. I'm not unwilling to believe that some Israeli's have done something illegal, but I'm not surprised either. Rage all anyone might want but the laws of war only matter if someone is willing to enforce them and it seems like the world won't enforce them here, much to my disappointment.
