More testimony continues to surface detailing US-backed Israeli war crimes. Last week, an anonymous Israeli doctor released a devastating letter detailing the conditions at Sde Teiman, an Israeli concentration camp currently holding over 800 Palestinians from Gaza. 🧵

The conditions are inhumane: Palestinians are handcuffed 24 hours-a-day, which causes such extreme injury that amputation “is a routine event.”

Imprisoned Palestinians are regularly blindfolded, fed only through a straw, denied toilet access, and undergo major surgeries without proper medical care, the unnamed doctor said in the letter.

When the United States government sends funding to the Israeli military, this is what it is endorsing and enabling.

Palestinians who survived the camp described experiences of extreme violence, starvation, and severe medical neglect, leading to the death of an unknown number of people, as the Israeli military refuses to release any information about the concentration camp.

What the Israeli military is doing to Palestinians at Sde Teiman are crimes against humanity.

The deplorable and torturous conditions at the camp, which the Israeli government built in October 2023, are stark reminders of the same fascist supremacy our ancestors lost their lives to.

We know that torture and humiliation are tools of all repressive regimes to punish and destroy the spirit of anyone who challenges their oppression.

These violent systems are integral to maintaining the Israeli government’s Jewish supremacy. When we call for an end to US funding for the Israeli military, these are the violent systems we’re defunding.

From the US government all the way through to the Israeli doctors who failed to uphold their hippocratic oath of “do no harm,” all must be held accountable for these unconscionable acts.

We stand resolute in our belief that every life is precious. We will never forget the countless precious lives stolen, and we will carry their memories with us as we continue to struggle for a free Palestine.
