An Israeli soldier has been accused of abusing a Palestinian detainee at a military outpost in the occupied West Bank, including beating him, urinating on him and smearing faeces on his face.
According to Israel’s Channel 12 News, the abuse took place last month at the Jalameh military outpost, after Israeli soldiers
arrestedabducted a Plestinian man at a nearby crossing.Investigators suspect the soldier beat the Palestinian and extinguished a cigarette on his body, leaving him injured.
The alleged abuse did not end there. According to the investigation, the soldier urinated on the detainee before smearing his own faeces on the man’s face and urging him to eat it.

Friendly reminder that Hakeem Jeffries supports the IDF.
Good on the military police officer who actually held a soldier accountable for their crimes.
But there are so many credible reports of widespread lack of accountability for things like killing civilians. I wonder what’s different here:
- Is there an ick factor here that there isn’t when soldiers just shoot civilians or commit other war crimes, and this proves there is a war crime that crosses a line?
- Or is this a principled MP who is risking harassment for doing the right thing when the unofficial standard is to turn a blind eye?
- Or is this a performative sacrifice of one soldier so the powers that be have some examples to point to when people accuse them of war crimes, even if they are a tiny minority of actual war crimes, and most are ignored?
- Or as a variant of the above, are MPs so rare and under-resourced that occasionally they do legit work, but they don’t have resources to push back the tide of war crimes meaningfully?
- Or has the power of the biggest war criminals like Netanyahu, Smotrich, and so on waned after the election and we are finally seeing the tide turning?
There are always investigations, but never justice. Don’t be fooled.
It’s the “we’ve investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing”. The semblance of order to rubber stamp genocide.
Just because something goes through the courts doesn’t legitimize it. The judicial system is what ruled that slavery was OK, until it wasn’t.
IDF arseholes are such filth, they’re not even toilet trained.
Charming people.
This is SO ANTI SEMETIC! Jews CONSTANTLY Smear Poop on People! It’s part of their RELIGION! STOP being ANTI SEMETIC!
