The 'Israeli' army has launched a criminal investigation into the leak of footage from the Sde Teiman detention camp, which shows a blindfolded, handcuffed Palestinian detainee being raped for approximately 15 minutes by a unit of 'Israeli' reservists.

The probe focuses on whether officials in the Military Advocate General’s (MAG) office which facilitated the leak to Channel 12, rather than targeting the perpetrators themselves. 'Israel’s' chief military prosecutor, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, has taken leave amid the scandal.

Please advocate for Nuremberg Trials for these Nazi atrocities. Justice for the victims of ethno-nationalist fascism is as necessary here just as it was after the holocaust.

The fuck? Why are they investigating the whistleblower and not the fucking rapists?

Fuck that shithole and everyone who supports it.

This is indeed horrific. It's also almost standard practice for many nations, including the USA (my country), where whistleblowers are routinely put in prison instead of their information being evaluated seriously.

Hay hay! Corporate whistleblowers often just die. Of reasons.

Why are you surprised . Zionists even before the creation of the terrorist state wanted to genocide palestinians

When WikiLeaks blew open US corruption, war crimes and human rights violations they went after the whistle blowers, Julian Assange, and Chelsea Manning.

United States "The leader of the free world" and Israel "The only democracy in the Middle East" in action.

Why don’t they investigate the rapists? Is anything illegal in Israel?

They held a "right to r*pe rally" after the incident and won the public support victory. The actual r*pist is now doing a talk show tour in Israel. Ben Gvir said if their Hamas then they can be r*ped. With no due process or evidence at all they can say anyone is Hamas, arrest them and r*pe them. Israel and America or totally morally bankrupt.

You can say rape.

Maybe lemmy.ml censors it.

Why are they putting Israel and Israeli in quotes? Are they implying that it wasn't actually Israelis perpetrating this, or that it isn't actually Israel performing the investigation? Or is this some political statement I'm not privy to?

Roya is Jordanian news site. Jordan doesn't recognize Israel as a country but an illegal entity.

Gotcha, thanks for the context.

I thought Jordan had recognized Israel in 1994, when they signed the peace agreement.

Nice to know that they have retracted.

Israel is a recently created country that only exists on stolen Palestinian land. It's highlighting the fakeness of its existence. It's occupied Palestine.
