Two Israeli soldiers accused of raping a Palestinian detainee were met with cheers as they arrived at the Supreme Court in Jerusalem on Monday.

Supporters in the courtroom shouted “We are all Unit 100,” referring to the military unit to which the suspects belong, according to Israel’s Channel 14.

Footage shared on social media showed the two men, their faces concealed by hats, sunglasses and masks, embracing each other as some in the room applauded.

    My Conservative coworker after being questioned about what Israel is doing: “I love Israel, and I love what they’re doing!”.

    We’ve allowed some genuine fucking demons to gestate in Israel (and the U.S. apparently) and it makes me sick thinking of how unaware I was about them just 3 years ago.

      Isn’t this to be expected on some level? All roads lead to this path (facism and genocide) when you’re constantly proselytizing an exceptionalistic narrative.
