By dropping all charges against the soldiers filmed abusing a Palestinian detainee, Israel has abandoned the whole masquerade of accountability.
"According to data obtained through freedom of information requests to the army by the Israeli human rights organization Yesh Din (for which I serve as a legal advisor), between 2016 and 2024 the military enforcement authorities were informed of 2,427 complaints regarding harm to Palestinians by soldiers in the occupied West Bank. The army opened investigations into only 552 of these cases (22.7 percent of the complaints), and only 23 led to indictments (0.9 percent).
In the Gaza Strip, the situation is not much better: More than 1,500 complaints related to soldiers’ conduct since October 2023 have so far yielded only two indictments."
no matter what or who started this conflict the nature of Israel’s “defence” (now genocide) is just indefensible. war is horrible always but there needs to be accountability.
I feel like “war is horrible” had been overused as an excuse by the Israelis to sweep their abuses under the rug.
yep, doesn’t make it untrue though.
war is always horrible.
most counties that take part in wars though at least attempt to follow some sort of rules, apparently there’s is zero accountability for the Israeli militaries actions and hasn’t been for decades.
I see another post about them torturing babies to force confessions from their parents, I’m not sure I know of anything more evil.
Yes we’re agreed 💯
