>The indictment said the soldiers assaulted the Palestinian prisoner and sodomized him with a knife, causing multiple injuries... When military police came to Sde Teiman in July to detain the soldiers suspected of abuse, they scuffled with protesters opposed to the arrests. How the fuck do people go out there protesting in support of the violent rape of prisoners? Sickening stuff.

That's average person for ya.

Israeli soldiers sexually abuse a Palestinian prisoner, while the leaker gets hounded. From settler violence to cases like this, there is little or no accountability anymore in Israel.

anymore? Based on the many books I've read about Israel, there was never any accountability. It's just more prominent and unavoidable now because of social media.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think the term you are looking for is “blood libel”, which I haven’t heard until recently. From context, it means “to speak the truth and present irrefutable evidence to back it up”. I guess that’s a crime?

No, it's a very specific thing and not at all applicable here. Blood libel was something along the lines of "the Jewish people are murdering children to use their blood for secret ceremonies"[0]. The "libel" part should give it away - it doesn't apply to someone revealing true facts. The people calling it blood libel because the facts are inconvenient and make Israel look bad are being disingenuous. [0] https://en.wi…

Even assuming that the points you present are all factual, your (more than) eye-for-eye position does not align with Western and democratic values. He is a murderer, so kill him for his crimes, and kill his familiy and friends, too, because they are all guilty, without trial, by association! That's what happened in Gaza and you seem to like that.

I can find no evidence for the claim that this prisoner was one of the people involved in October 7th.

Also, to call shoving a metal tube up a prisoners ass to the point it causes an intestinal rupture “beat up” is incredibly disingenuous.

I'm trying to be as charitable as I possibly can be, but it looks like you're arguing that brutal prisoner torture is deserved if the victim is (portrayed as) heinous enough. Is this correct or was your argument something else?

I can understand the impulse, but not the conscious arguing for it.
