I was reticent to post this, given that it's based off of one person's hearsay. What tipped me over is that it is confirmation of stories also relayed by Palestinian prisoners in the fall of 2025 (linked in the article) about the goings on in the Sde Teiman torture camp.

Al-Jazeera by the way reports that the IDF soldiers who were at the center of a very public case of gruesome sexual abuse of prisoners in the same torture camp are returning to duty.

End the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime. Boycott Divest Sanction. Criminals at the Hague.

Thank you for the context. It's important.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes, someone who could not possibly have heard the Palestinian allegations has come forward to say they are true.

Of the two guards he spoke to, “one had seen this happen and said it was too awful to talk about. The other said that he had heard about it from others and believed it was true. This happened. This is happening still. The evidence is too overwhelming.”

I wouldn't call this overwhelming evidence. Could it have happened? Painfully, yes. Should an article have been published that guards have admitted this happens? Not on this evidence.

[–] brownsugga@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

i think regardless of the veracity of the article, the fact that israel has a TORTURE CAMP is something that should be highlighted

The rules of courtroom evidence cannot be the rules for journalism, or we would NEVER hear about atrocities like this.

What the dog doin'?

War crimes apparently, the type of man made horrors beyond most human's comprehension. I don't get how we have such a large delta with the horrors preformed by israel and the coverage of the nation in the west. Being called anti-Semitic for calling out using dog rape as a tool to torture prisoners seems a bit bizarre.

Western "civilization" reaction to Israel and Russia are amazing. If this were Russian we will see these war crimes in every media 24h , while with Israel, you get arrested or questioned for denouncing the crimes.

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 28 points 3 weeks ago

Using DOGS to RAPE people is CLEARLY spelt out in the TORAH you ANTI SEMITE!

"Source I've never seen claims someone on Twitter heard something outrageous from an anonymous source"

Did this happen? Maybe. Is this upvoted solely because of people's pre-existing biases? Yup.

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

One source appears to be the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights. It says in the article.

Novara Media is a socialist news organization, so they definitely have a bias, but their informational reporting is no less credible than the BBC or Guardian. They have a decently large presence in the UK.

Israel should be disarmed.

A sentence I neither expected to see nor wanted to.

Like unholy shit, what the hell is going on with those people?

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How can you take part in subjecting other people to this kind of thing and still think you are justified in doing it? People that almost certainly had nothing to do personally with what your beef is with the more extreme members of their factions. They also can't think that this serves any point other than to be sadistic, if your goal was complete annihilation you would just shoot them.

I mean, holy fuck.

[–] absolutetupperware@lemmy.today 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

meanwhile Palestinians are forced into begging online for the means of survival, the bare minimum, that they should already be getting and they're being labeled scammers. we are all complicit in this.

[–] absolutetupperware@lemmy.today 9 points 3 weeks ago

LOL the downvotes, if you think you don't have blood on your hands you're lying to yourself.

Who thought that the lesson they would take away from the Holocaust would be to "Pay it forward?"

[–] shiv@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Rooting for Israel to get nuked at this point.

Unconscionable

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Can't say shit about Isreal even though they're fucked up like this

I really should have just went to sleep.

Absolutely abhorrent.

Good night, everyone.

Also here's a topical petition

The horrors you commit in service of God. I know not what I believe as far as theology goes, but if there is any sort of benevolent god or gods, these people are going to face the worst punishment they have. If there are no gods, may this world give them the punishment they deserve, as unlikely as that may be. Organized religion is the worst thing to ever befall humanity, and it may wind up being the end of us someday. These actions would have made even most Nazis skittish.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Ngl I am pretty disilluisoned with the whole "Both sides are fighting for religious reasons" thing.

Israel is fighting because zionists are colonizer nazis and palestine is fighting because Israel is colonizer nazis.

I feel sorry for the dogs. The IDF could add some chapters to their SS and NKVD manuals. Disgusting, sick and evil creatures.

[–] UndergroundParking@lemmy.cafe 4 points 3 weeks ago

Admittedly, I'm not going to read this.

How is it even possible?! On the physical level.
