That wish I believed in hell

Because, if there is a hell, these people belong there for eternity

In addition to being wrong in every civilized sense and the law.

Never have been. We reserve the right to commit war crimes with impunity.

The excuse that we (US forces) would get hauled off to The Hague was and is still bullshit. If conduct warrants ICC sanctions then so be it.

And right to rape?

RW extremism is a sickness everywhere it seems.

No surprises here. Same old story, same old song and dance my friend…

those raping them and their families.

A warrant for Netanyahu's arrest has been issued. As well as Putin's. Much like Dutuerte, they can and should be arrested if they step foot in a country that is a signatory of the I.C.C. agreement.

Asking for a country ....

Not that gender should matter, criminal is criminal

Can you post the link to the article as well?

though, I'm not the OP!

ETA: Fortuitously, it's only 4 paragraphs! (EDIT 2) there is more at the link, background on the situation. I didn't page down far enough past the ads.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s military on Thursday said it was dropping charges against five soldiers accused of beating and sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee in an alleged assault partially caught on camera.

The decision, which came as much of the country’s attention was focused on the war with Iran, closed a flashpoint case that has bitterly divided Israel since the soldiers were arrested in 2024 at the notorious Sde Teiman military prison, prompting anger from members of the far-right government and hard-line ultranationalists who violently overran the prison in protest.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the announcement, while human rights groups accused the military of ignoring one of the gravest instances of abuse in the country’s network of wartime prisons.

“Israel’s military advocate general just gave his soldiers license to rape -- so long as the victim is Palestinian,” said Sari Bashi, executive director of the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, after the case was dismissed. She said the decision was “the latest in a long line of actions that whitewash abuses against detainees whose frequency and severity have worsened since Oct. 7, 2023.”

about the women and children taken captive by the Border Patrol and ICE, starting with Trump's first installation in the White House...........Especially the thousands of kids, kept in chain link pens during his first term, kept from public view, that simply disappeared with NO record of where they all went.......

I expect we'll eventually find out and it won't be good news.

That would be the worst punishment for them because then they would be able to see themselves for what they have done in all their horror.

I’ve been told again and again that every bit is justified because Hamas committed violent rape.

Well, apparently it’s ok if Bibi’s thugs are the ones doing the violent raping.

And before anyone chimes in with the usual accusations, let me be clear: Hamas is a vile terrorist regime that should be wiped out to its last member, but that has nothing to do with Netanyahu’s years-long campaign of civilian slaughter.

like in the name of god. On both sides.

It took a long time but I have gone from supporter to hater. Could not have done it without them.

#99999999999 for me.

Their government and those who support them. Not the Israeli people who do not. Same as the US right now.

And especially the evil Bibi.

Ah, the perils of auto-correct….

Other than sick fucks led by monsters

they are jailed or executed. ALL AID.

May karma be a bitch.

I do not support it, but wonder why it's being brought up today - especially since there was just an attack on a synagogue in Michigan.

I condemn the soldiers and those who support their heinous acts completely and wholeheartedly.
Some here are blaming "Israel." how many Israelis support such horrendous abuse?

Should the US be abolished because of the actions of the Trump administration?

eta: meant as a response to kimbutgar

What does that have to do with the protest in '24 except that it involves the same creeps.
Netanyahu and his ilk are to be detested - I agree with that.

You're questioning the currency of the reference when it is clear as day.

lest there be misunderstanding about this travesty of justice:

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/crime-in-israel/article-889791

There are human rights groups in Israel who are just as outraged by this decision.

One of the reasons I post this is the danger of blaming the entire group (Jews) for the actions of wrongdoers.
This is in light of today's attack on a synagogue in Michigan .... and history.

If the soldier's received any punishment at all it would be because they let the woman live.

He compares the leak of the video to the "blood libel", where Jews were often in history blamed, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, for the death a gentile child.
He has succeeded in making 'anti-Semitism' a meaningless word, simply something to utter when you wish to cover your crimes.
He is bad for the Jews, ALL the Jews, whether they know it or not.

Netanyahu and by extension, much of Israel will become very desperate to keep Republicans in power because the alternative is not a positive outcome for Israel/American relations.

Anybody supported by AIPAC and cooperating PACs are suspect.

Netanyahu is most responsible for putting targets on my Jewish friend's backs. I fear for them.
They want no part of how the Palestinian's have been treated. Oct. 7th was horrible, no doubt, but you don't take it out on innocent women and children and expect the world to accept it. Sure, immediate reaction would be expected, but the prolonged torture and genocide was and is unacceptable. Especially, since Netanyahu is obviously using the opportunity to stay out of prison. Your friends and allies would have been by Israel's side in support of punishment and retribution but this is not that.

Can someone verify the truth of these charges?
