Israeli Military Police Arrest 9 IDF Soldiers Over Torture & Rape of Palestinian Prisoners at Israeli Torture Facility
- A Radical Dispatch
1) Israel’s Torture Facility
Netanyahu’s Israel has been rocked by a national scandal involving the torture and rape of Palestinian prisoners. Israeli military police have arrested 9 IDF soldiers stationed at the Sde Taiman camp torture facility over the severe abuse.
The Times of Israel reports 29th July 2024:
“Military Police investigators raided a detention facility in southern Israel on Monday to arrest soldiers suspected of the serious sexual abuse of a Palestinian terror detainee, causing an outcry among far-right politicians…Nine suspects were taken for questioning by the Military Police following the argument at the base, the IDF said. The 10th suspect was not immediately detained.”
The allegations are incredibly serious. One Palestinian prisoner seems to have been brutally raped and was taken from the base to the hospital with a torn anus. The systematic torture reportedly included electric shocks, avoidable amputations, surgery without anaesthesia, music so loud that inmates ears bled, sexual abuse and severe violence.
After denying the story for two months, Israeli military police and government sources are now confirming an original investigation reported as far back as May by CNN.
CNN reports 11th May 2024:
“They paint a picture of a facility where doctors sometimes amputated prisoners’ limbs due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing; of medical procedures sometimes performed by underqualified medics earning it a reputation for being “a paradise for interns”; and where the air is filled with the smell of neglected wounds left to rot.”
The New York Times had also reported the same a month later.
The New York Times reports 6th June 2024:
“One said his ribs were broken after he was kneed in the chest and a second detainee said his ribs broke after he was kicked and beaten with a rifle, an assault that a third detainee said he had witnessed. Seven said they had been forced to wear only a diaper while being interrogated. Three said they had received electric shocks during their interrogations.”
Israeli Justice Department sources are reportedly claiming that the evidence is so clear and severe that this would be an open and shut case for any international courts.
Despite this, soon after the arrests it seems that pro-torture and pro-rape riots broke out by extremist Israelis in defence of the accused IDF soldiers.
The Times reports 30th July 2024:
“Israeli protesters spurred by hardline politicians stormed two military bases to protest against an investigation into soldiers abusing Palestinian detainees.
The police, who are under the control of the far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, did not initially intervene as the protesters, including ultra-nationalist politicians, broke through the gates of two military bases when investigators arrived to interview ten suspects…
…Under Netanyahu, far-right parties once considered fringe groups have come to wield power and control over key ministries after joining his governing coalition. Their leaders include Ben-Gvir and the finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, who denounced the investigation and said the suspects should be treated as heroes.”

Despite the anger of these protesting fanatics - whose position is essentially ‘so what if our soldiers rape and torture, release them now’ - the allegations themselves are not being denied by Israeli society.
Haaretz reports 15th July 2024:
"Sde Teiman is a place where crimes are being committed. It does not meet the standard of Israeli and international law for imprisonment, and the continued detention of people there is illegal and may even amount to a war crime"
As a result, it is slowly dawning upon many hitherto naive pro-government Israelis around the world just how brutal and barbaric their own side has been.
2) Half of Congress Democrats Boycott Netanyahu’s Speech
Days before these allegations were confirmed by Israeli press, but months after they were reported by Western press, the war criminal Netanyahu visited the US to demand yet more money from Congress for his maniacal war in Gaza.
But so great has American disgust at Israeli war crimes grown that half of the Democratic caucuses in both houses boycotted his speech.
Axios reports 24th July 2024:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explains why Congress didn’t appear half empty, because they filled it up instead with other attendees who clapped at every cue like well-trained circus seals for Netanyahu.
Here they are clapping a war criminal responsible for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

Instead of assuming that perhaps it is the ongoing war crimes of Netanyahu, and who knows, maybe even the torture and rape of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, that has upset Democratic party representatives, Netanyahu-acolyte and speech attendee Elon Musk instead chose to decry this turn of events by labelling the entire Democratic party “anti-Semitic”.
As the Radical Dispatch had already reported, Musk’s direction was clear from last November when Netanyahu summoned him to Tel Aviv in order to ‘Kneel before Zod’.
Below, Musk can be seen as part of the audience in Congress with the UK’s Douglas Murray. Farcically, the sycophants in attendance clapped so hard for war criminal Netanyahu that at one point he demanded they stop clapping and just listen.

And just as Jan 6th was used to tarnish the MAGA base, no speech by Netanyahu in Congress would be complete without the accompanying “pro-Palestine” protest featuring paid-for professional agitators burning an American flag so that Netanyahu had the perfectly timed boogie-man to point to as an example of what he is up against.

So obvious has the tactic of planting Federal agents among protestors become that even right wing US commentator Candace Owens has picked up on it.
Click to play:
Owens: “These are some tremendously frightening times. A lot of things are happening, and it's very clear that our government is behind the agitation of the things that are happening, whether it's Trump's assassination attempt. Even today, by the way, I shared this on my Twitter and Facebook, and I want you guys to find that when you log off. Suddenly, you had the right acting like the left and there’s a a kid who lighst an American flag on fire.. and I'm like, have we already forgotten January 6th? Like, every time there is a protest anywhere, especially in D.C., there are federal agitators. And I find this kid to be tremendously suspicious. Can you go back to the image of him? I want them to see this. Somebody identify who this is. Not because I want him to get arrested, but because I just would like to know what individual, with cameras trained on him you look on the right there, I think somebody identified, that's the Daily Caller, feels so confident in what he's doing that he…lights a fire without a mask on, dances around it, he seems to be alone if you go and find the footage, and then instantly causes people on the left and the right to start yelling at each other on the internet. Like, who is that confident? If you're a criminal, you should cover your face. But this? Like, is it a bonfire? Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And you can see he's just agitating a bit. And so my instinct, because I am realising that, again, the left becomes the right and the right becomes the left, is to go, no, identify this person. Don't tell me that's a leftist. Prove to me that it's somebody on the left. Because I don't trust our government. I think the purpose is always to keep us warring within ourselves. Oh, it's left, oh, it's the right. Also a perfect opportunity to sell to the American people that anybody that’s against going to war on Israel's behalf with Iran, which is kind of what Netanyahu said, like, ‘you got to go to war with us, like, we're your greatest allies’. And no one ever explains what exactly it is that Israel does for us all the time, that they're our greatest allies. Like, forget you, England, everything that we've done with you guys. This country is our greatest ally. But you look at all that situation, you go, oh, how perfect, how absolutely perfect it is that just outside now there's even more of a reason to, I don't know, I guess just like hate Palestinians and want to, I guess, rush into a war with Israel. I don't even know what the point of that is. So let's first be clear on our facts before we share them, okay? Because you know I'm against bringing the American flag. Nothing makes me more upset than that. But I also know when to check my emotions. And I always check my emotions as it pertains ever since January 6. Anything that gets out of hand in Washington, DC. Because again, these are federal agitators everywhere. I'm going to show you that guy's face one more time. Identify this young man for me. Run it through your software. Tell me who he is. Who are his friends? What school does he go to? Where does he work? That he is this comfortable being filmed just lighting an American flag? Which could have, you know, it could have been an act of arson. It could have quite literally caused an issue. I mean, I'm sure he could be arrested for that if considering there's damage to the sidewalk. Who is this confident doing that, if not a Fed?“
3) Netanyahu’s march to war does not stop
Despite lacklustre attendance at Congress for his speech, Netanyahu’s march to war has not stopped.
Netanyahu has now bombed Lebanon.

While Nato member Turkey threatens to retaliate on Lebanon’s behalf.
Jerusalem Post reports 30th July 2024:
“Dr. Liel also claimed: ‘If something significant happens in Lebanon, Erdogan sees any Israeli entry into Lebanon as halfway towards him. He could send forces to Lebanon; he has done this in the past, including sending destroyers and combat ships, to Lebanon's territorial waters’."
Leading Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Israel Katz to threaten Turkey’s Erdogan with the fate of Saddam Hussain.
Except, Erdogan is no Saddam, and Turkey is not Iraq. For one, modern Turkey has never been colonised and is a NATO member.
4) President Trump and Kamala Harris both demand an immediate end to Netanyahu’s war
Despite Netanyahu’s maniacal desire to extend and expand his war, it does appear though that Trump and Kamala Harris are on the same page when it comes to ending the war as soon as possible. Neither party leader attended Netanyahu’s trained-seal clapping fest of a war rally at Congress either. Very interesting.
The Times reports 25th July 2024:
“Speaking to Fox News before the meeting, Trump said that the Gaza war should end fast ‘because they are getting decimated with this publicity, and you know Israel is not very good at public relations’. Trump has insisted that the Hamas raid on Israel that killed 1,200 people, and the subsequent war, would not have happened had he been in the White House. This year, he blamed Netanyahu for allowing the terrorist attacks to take place, saying that intelligence warnings were well known in advance.”
Click to play:
Trump: “Well, first of all, he was very nice to me yesterday. He mentioned me in the speech very nicely, and I appreciated that. He's coming to see me. I want him to finish up and get it done quickly. You've got to get it done quickly, because they are getting decimated with this publicity. And, you know, Israel is not very good at public relations, I'll tell you that. Israel, for whatever reason, you have Jewish people out there wearing yarmulkes, and they're, you know...Pro-Palestine, you've never seen anything. People have never seen anything like this. Israel has to handle their public relations. Their public relations are not good, and they've got to get this done fast because the world is not...Taking lightly to it. It's really incredible. You know, October 7th would have never happened if I was president. There was no chance. Iran was broke. They had no money for Hamas or Hezbollah. It just wouldn't have happened. Zero chance. By the way, Ukraine, the attack by Russia would have never happened.”
Look again at the extract from the Times interview above with Trump. As the Radical Dispatch has already reported, Trump is skeptical of Netanyahu’s role in facilitating Hamas and the atrocity on October 7th:
The Times reports 25th July 2024:
“This year, he [Trump] blamed Netanyahu for allowing the terrorist attacks to take place, saying that intelligence warnings were well known in advance.”
Trump did not attend Netanyahu’s speech in Congress. In a further subtle sleight, a day before their eventual meeting at Trump’s residence in Florida Trump posted a letter on his “Truth Social” account from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, while saying that he’s looking forward to meeting Netanyahu. Israel refuses to recognise a Palestinian state. Netanyahu must have felt the burn.
This was followed by Trump quoting Netanyahu, who blamed Iran for the attempted assassination on the former President.
Top trolling by Trump. He knows that Iran would have nowhere near the capability to penetrate US secret services protocol in order to assassinate a President on his home turf.
Likewise, newly anointed Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris has also demanded an end to Netanyahu’s war. This essentially leaves a bipartisan leadership consensus against Netanyahu’s plans.
Click to play:
Harris: “It is time for this war to end, and end in a way where Israel is secure, all the hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can exercise their right to freedom, dignity, and self-determination. There has been hopeful movement in the talks to secure an agreement on this deal. And as I just told Prime Minister Netanyahu, it is time to get this deal done. So to everyone who has been calling for a ceasefire and to everyone who yearns for peace, I see you and I hear you. Let's get the deal done so we can get a ceasefire to end the war. Let's bring the hostages home. And let's provide much needed relief to the Palestinian people. And ultimately, I remain committed to a path forward that can lead to a two-state solution. And I know right now it is hard to conceive of that prospect, but a two-state solution is the only path that ensures Israel remains a secure Jewish and democratic state and one that ensures Palestinians can finally realise the freedom, security, and prosperity that they rightly deserve.”
This new bipartisan consensus against Netanyahu prolonging his war has led to a change in tone among the Five Eyes nations too.
While Britain deliberates on imposing an arms embargo against Israel.
The Times reports 29th July 2024:
“Britain will make a decision on banning arms sales to Israel later this summer after officials were ordered to review evidence of potential war crimes from the fighting in Gaza. David Lammy, the foreign secretary, is under pressure from backbench Labour MPs to announce a total ban on arms exports. There had been speculation that a decision could come as soon as this week.”
The truth is slowly dawning upon the world just how long Netanyahu has been banging the drums of war in the Middle East at every opportunity.

Netanyahu’s recent farcical display at Congress - where attendees clapped in standing ovation no less than 49 times for him like trained circus-seals - may well be the last time this maniac whistles his song of death and destruction to the American people.
