Remember Rape Spring? Well it was more of a civil war than the military police, the military prosecutor, the army, or Israeli media or politicians let on. I’ll update when the translation is published, but in the meantime here’s the short of it👇🧵
Turns out that the videos that were published by the Rape Revolters were conveniently edited to leave out the parts where they assaulted military police, and in masks & full military gear threatened to kill them while aiming their weapons unless they release their rapey comrades.
The Rape Revolutionaries of Unit 100 beat the military police so badly that some of them withdrew their testimonies which were given “in tears”, others are afraid to testify at all, and others quit doing fieldwork “because it was so traumatic”.
But it’s not just the direct physical violence of the day. Some officers quit their job following their names being published online, and the military police is refraining from investigating the incident against its men “because of public pressures from right wing elements.”
An anonymous military person interviewed by Haaretz said “I don’t want to imagine what would’ve happened to the interrogators if they were in Sde Teiman during the raid, they would have lynched them.” He also complains that the military police & prosecutor aren’t doing their job.
Which puts this interview, with one of the main instigators in the published videos of this incident (who- despite accruing celebrity status since the coup- Haaretz fails to mention), about the following interrogations, in a slightly different light.
All of the above was done with the direct supervision and explicit order of the unit commander on the scene. And of course, channel 14 was an active part of this coup, airing the edited videos in real time. No investigation about their participation is mentioned in the article.
The article also doesn’t mention investigation into any direct connection to Israel minister of national security Itamar Ben-Gvir (the guy in charge of the civil police), despite the fact that the above main instigator, Meir Ben-Shitrit, is on camera demanding that he be called.
And no commentary on a Haaretz article would be complete without mentioning how it slyly toes the party line. Despite the man being identified as a police officer, Haaretz insists on labeling him “a Hamas operative”.
Finally, I’d like to point out that, in fact, this military coup was extremely successful. The military police- rather than its usual unwillingness- is UNABLE to carry out its duties and neither is the military prosecutor, as Israel’s army commits genocide.
We start day #38 of the #GHF 👇🧵 very late because news doesn’t come out until the evening. If anybody knows the reason, please update. Meanwhile, Israel has recruited its entire Hasbara apparatus to protect its final solution mechanism with “this is what consent looks like🫶”.
The #GHF has such a highly effective alternative model of successfully operational secure food distribution sites that they’re going into housing next 💀
Day #37 of the #GHF thread👇🧵 starts with more revelations about @BCG’s involvement not just in funding and execution but in the very meticulous planning of the liquidation of the Gaza extermination camp. There’s no alibi for genocide you colonial ghouls.
Day #36 of the #GHF thread👇🧵 Protests in Australia at Miznon, part of a global restaurant chain owned by Shahar Segal, who was hand-picked by Israel's government to do PR for the Gaza Starvation Foundation.
Day #34 of the @GHFUpdates thread👇🧵 after #GHF put a target on the back of an aid seeker yesterday, and Switzerland had announced that it’s dissolving the Geneva branch of the criminal organization, now comes this:
Try as they might not, @AP reveals that GHF mercenaries- “unqualified, unvetted, heavily armed and seemed to have an open license to do whatever they wished”- are “firing in all directions”.
I warn, this article is some peak liberal Zionism, nevertheless, let's talk about the fact that Israel uses the foster care system to basically recruit child soldiers and disguise them as human shields. archive.md/nJ6UJx.com/infinite__jaz/…
I remember watching this self promotion video (sorry no subs) by the colonial stronghold, Marom Shmuel, and realizing these aren’t their kids.
More info on the Marom Shmuel people, who just uproot their little foster army from one Palestinian hilltop to the next.
