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.

    Israel is trying to pass the death penalty, but only for Palestinians. Their inhumanity knows no bounds. They are truly as bad as the Nazi now.

    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.

    Raped with a fucking knife… I’m not sure why so few outlets choose to report that fun little detail.

        Allegedly is a magic word you use when you are you’re saying is not proven in court yet.

        If you say that you can’t be sued if you get something wrong when reporting.

        Like if you say “they fucked his ass with a knife” and it turns out to be a chisel -> they can sue you.

        Thus: allegedly

    At this point, anyone that doesnt think Israel as a whole should be sanctioned into poverty, similar to how Cuba has been, is a fascism/terrorism supporter in my eyes.

      The Israeli state should be dissolved and a new state created that gives equal rights to all, outlaws Zionism, and eradicates the mechanisms of settler-colonialism. I wouldn’t be opposed to reparation payments either.

      Can we put on Israel the same thing that was done to Britney Spears? They shouldn’t be allowed to control their own money, let alone somebody elses.
