How can you take part in subjecting other people to this kind of thing and still think you are justified in doing it? People that almost certainly had nothing to do personally with what your beef is with the more extreme members of their factions. They also can't think that this serves any point other than to be sadistic, if your goal was complete annihilation you would just shoot them.

I mean, holy fuck.

Admittedly, I'm not going to read this.

How is it even possible?! On the physical level.

I really should have just went to sleep.

Absolutely abhorrent.

Good night, everyone.

Also here's a topical petition

The horrors you commit in service of God. I know not what I believe as far as theology goes, but if there is any sort of benevolent god or gods, these people are going to face the worst punishment they have. If there are no gods, may this world give them the punishment they deserve, as unlikely as that may be. Organized religion is the worst thing to ever befall humanity, and it may wind up being the end of us someday. These actions would have made even most Nazis skittish.

Ngl I am pretty disilluisoned with the whole "Both sides are fighting for religious reasons" thing.

Israel is fighting because zionists are colonizer nazis and palestine is fighting because Israel is colonizer nazis.

War crime Nr. … how much already?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 14 points 11 hours ago

Who thought that the lesson they would take away from the Holocaust would be to "Pay it forward?"

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 35 points 13 hours ago

Using DOGS to RAPE people is CLEARLY spelt out in the TORAH you ANTI SEMITE!

-The BBC!

[–] HrabiaVulpes@lemmy.world 20 points 13 hours ago

A sentence I neither expected to see nor wanted to.

Like unholy shit, what the hell is going on with those people?

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 12 points 12 hours ago

Can't say shit about Isreal even though they're fucked up like this

[–] GirthBrooksPLO@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

This some Dirlewanger level shit

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 31 points 16 hours ago

Western "civilization" reaction to Israel and Russia are amazing. If this were Russian we will see these war crimes in every media 24h , while with Israel, you get arrested or questioned for denouncing the crimes.

I was reticent to post this, given that it's based off of one person's hearsay. What tipped me over is that it is confirmation of stories also relayed by Palestinian prisoners in the fall of 2025 (linked in the article) about the goings on in the Sde Teiman torture camp.

Al-Jazeera by the way reports that the IDF soldiers who were at the center of a very public case of gruesome sexual abuse of prisoners in the same torture camp are returning to duty.

End the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime. Boycott Divest Sanction. Criminals at the Hague.

Thank you for the context. It's important.

"Source I've never seen claims someone on Twitter heard something outrageous from an anonymous source"

Did this happen? Maybe. Is this upvoted solely because of people's pre-existing biases? Yup.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 minutes ago

I can offer up a story on it from a British Business magazine, if the Novara source seems biased or uncredible.

https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/un-report-systematic-sexual-violence-israeli-detention-1792474

Honestly, I hope this one is fake. It's fucked up if real.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Novara Media is a socialist news organization, so they definitely have a bias, but their informational reporting is no less credible than the BBC or Guardian. They have a decently large presence in the UK.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today -4 points 8 hours ago (2 children)
[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

You're wrong. I've been reading/listening to Novara every day for over five years. They are left wing in opinion, and 100% factual in their reporting. They are more responsible about correcting errors than the BBC or the Guardian. As the other response, I would have ditched them at any point if I found them to be dishonest.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Why would their factual reporting not be reliable? Their core audience is extremely well educated who would not tolerate blatant falsehoods like right-wing tabloid audiences do.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today -4 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

And yet, everybody smashed upvote on this rage bait without reading it. Education and wealth only gets you so far.

TBF they didn't really make direct factual claims here, they just quoted the sources, so even if it's not true it's not a lie. I'm not sure how often Fox News just straight up lies either.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Fox News lies often. And the BBC does this kind of thing all the time.

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 12 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

One source appears to be the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights. It says in the article.

[–] bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Where did they get the information from?

Obscure self styled human rights organizations are often used to launder information and give it more credibility. This isn’t HRW, Amnesty, or B’Tselem. They aren’t perfect either, but more credible.

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 5 points 10 hours ago

They got the information from someone who was raped by a dog. It says in the article.

[–] CanadaPlus@futurology.today -2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The analyst in "says analyst" was a guy on Twitter.

It is mentioned that PCHR recorded similar testimony from a Palestinian source later on.

Again, maybe, maybe not.

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 6 points 9 hours ago

"geopolitical expert" it says. Here's his Google scholar page. Seems legit. I mean I guess he is still "a guy on twitter", in that he has a Twitter account

What the dog doin'?

War crimes apparently, the type of man made horrors beyond most human's comprehension. I don't get how we have such a large delta with the horrors preformed by israel and the coverage of the nation in the west. Being called anti-Semitic for calling out using dog rape as a tool to torture prisoners seems a bit bizarre.

Rooting for Israel to get nuked at this point.

[–] discocactus@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

That's the goal from the US evangelical point of view. Makes you think.

[–] Blursty@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Rooting for us all to get nuked in the west tbh.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Israel should be disarmed.
