“We conducted a thorough investigation on ourselves and found us not guilty” /s
Free pass to rape. Israel is learning well from the US.

We called this a while back. The most expected outcome.
I guess the whistleblower will be thoroughly punished instead…
Disgusting.
To the surprise of absolutely fucking nobody
At least this indicates it was illegal at one point in time. /s

They never stop destroying their own optics. Truly a dumbass country
To this day I can’t understand why a bunch of far right hooligans were allowed to breach a military prison. They should have all been shot, and those soldiers who were detained for the assault would have been found guilty.
Instead those guards pussyfooted around not wanting to start a ‘civil war’ (BS) and made this criminal act into a political angle.
Shame on Israel
Wouldn’t want more pro-rape riots
“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.
He said the detainee underwent surgery for a perforated rectum and was released back to Sde Teiman days later.
The arrest of the soldiers prompted fury from hard-line ultranationalists who violently overran the prison in protest. Members of Israel’s far-right government called the investigation into their conduct an affront to their service.
The military’s top legal official acknowledged authorizing the leak of the video to the TV station, and she resigned.”

So we have brave Israelis risking it all to expose the corruption and human rights violations with clear video proof, and nothing happens?
that one is more tantamount to torture
Reminder that the entire Israeli political right wing went batshit insane and rioted when they were charged. They think its their right to rape prisoners.
I cant find any reliable source on this, maybe someone here knows.
Who was the detainee and what are the reasons the charges were dropped?
At this point, does anyone on this earth think anything less of the IDF ?
Do they ever actually punish their own for anything done to Palestinians? I feel like I already know the answer but maybe someone else knows of an example.
Even jpost which leans right wing is calling this a bad call. This is an embarrassment
