Why are Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian men?
Something has gone wrong with the Israeli military, and its soldiers are out of control
Are any of you paying attention to the stories appearing in the media and on social media about Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian men? When I first heard about Israeli soldiers going on a rape spree, I thought they were raping Palestinian women. The rape of women during wartime is a known phenomenon and seems to happen regularly. There have been some rapes of Palestinian women by Israeli soldiers.
However, on closer examination, I discovered some of these Israeli soldiers are raping Palestinian men, not women. This strikes me as odd, to say the least. Worse, the Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t seem to be doing much about it.
What is the motivation behind this behavior, aside from some sort of sexual gratification? It seems bizarre to me that these Israeli soldiers are doing this in the first place. They don’t seem to understand the concept of honor and seem unaware of the disgrace such behavior brings to their military and their country.
Here’s a video report on one of the rapes:
I must admit that this, along with the rest of the Gaza Holocaust, has surprised me. In the past, I had a different view of the Israelis. At one time, I did not think they were capable of all of this murder, carnage, mayhem and rape. Something seems to have changed in that country, and some very demonic forces have been unleashed into Israeli society. When such forces are turned loose, it is extremely difficult to regain control of them and put a stop to their evil behavior.
In the case of the Israeli military, its soldiers seem to be out of control in terms of their behavior. We’ve already seen tons of videos of the carnage caused by Israeli bombs, missiles, tanks, etc. in Gaza, and now we have video evidence of Israeli soldiers deliberately engaging in rape and torture in one of Israel’s prisons:
A Palestinian detainee was gang-raped by Israeli soldiers at the Sde Teiman Prison in the Negev desert in southern Israel, according to Israeli media on Monday.
Israeli public broadcaster KAN, citing a security source, said the detainee taken to a hospital with severe injuries to an intimate body part, which left him without the ability to walk.
KAN said Israeli Police investigators arrived at the detention facility to detain the soldiers involved in the rape.
According to Israel’s Army Radio, 10 soldiers were detained for questioning as part of an investigation into the gruesome abuse.
Several reports emerged of severe abuses against Palestinian detainees at the notorious facility since the start of Israel’s ongoing offensive on the Gaza Strip.
Some of these soldiers have been charged by the Israeli military, but it doesn’t seem to have made much of a difference in terms of behavior so far:
Israel’s military has charged a reservist with aggravated abuse of Palestinian prisoners, a spokesperson said on Tuesday, as nine other soldiers appeared in military court for an initial hearing over allegations they had sexually abused a detainee from Gaza.
The new indictment alleges that the unnamed soldier, assigned to escort handcuffed and blindfolded Palestinians, used a baton and his assault rifle to attack prisoners on multiple occasions.
He did this even though their restraints meant they posed no threat, and he made videos of the violence. “The accused used severe violence against the detainees he was entrusted with guarding,” the IDF spokesperson said.
The other soldiers detained on Monday are accused of raping and attacking a Palestinian prisoner at the Sde Teiman detention centre so violently that he was taken to hospital in critical condition, Israeli media reported.
His injuries included a ruptured intestine, severe injury to the anus and lungs, and broken ribs, the Israel daily Haaretz reported. A doctor who treated the man told the paper that when he saw the horrific extent of the injuries, he initially assumed they were caused by other inmates.
“I didn’t believe that an Israeli jailer would do such a thing,” said Yoel Donchin, who is also a professor at the Hadassah university hospital.
Am I the only one who thinks this is a terrible look for Israel? Much of the rest of the world has turned against Israel, yet the Israeli military rolls on with the torture, carnage and rape, seemingly oblivious to how all of this is perceived in the wider world. It’s as if they simply do not care in the least what anybody thinks about their behavior and that it will not cost them dearly at some point.
You would expect that the Israeli military hierarchy and the Israeli government itself would come down hard on this sort of behavior. But something definitely seems to have changed in Israel, or perhaps it was always like this, but the bad behavior was hidden behind a cloak of civilization, and now that cloak has been torn asunder, and the ugly truth is there for the whole world to see? 🤔
Or perhaps the Israelis have been engaging in such barbaric behavior because they know that the US government is committed to the defense of Israel no matter what Israel’s soldiers do? That would not surprise me, given how AIPAC controls both the fake political parties in Congress and the candidates running for US president. Why worry about what other countries think of you if you have the US government on your side?
Israeli society seems split on this issue. Those on the right have acted to defend the soldiers involved in this behavior, while those on the left and in the middle seem to realize the gravity of these kinds of war crimes:
The incident follows a dramatic escalation as dozens of settlers from far-right settler groups, some masked and armed, joined by other political activists, breached an Israeli military base on Monday evening. The base was the site where Israeli occupation soldiers, detained for severe moral violations and the extreme torture of a Palestinian detainee, were being questioned.
Reports confirm that one Palestinian detainee was subjected to gang rape by 9 or 10 Israeli soldiers and endured severe torture, resulting in paralysis and current hospitalization. According to an Israeli Army Radio report, the abuse occurred approximately three weeks ago at the Sde Teiman detention facility. The victim was discovered at the military base in critical condition and was subsequently transported to a hospital for treatment and surgery.
This unrest occurred just hours after a separate base had been stormed by a right-wing mob furious over the arrests.
Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that three battalions from the Nahal Brigade were urgently deployed to the region between Nablus, Qalqilya, and Tulkarm following their involvement in the war on Gaza. The report highlighted that "the army had been fully engaged over the past 24 hours in preparations for a potential northern front that could escalate into war, but had to suspend all operations due to the events in Beit Lid."
Footage showed dozens of Israeli settlers breaching the military court building to forcibly release the charged Israeli soldiers, despite the court having significantly reduced their sentences due to pressure from right-wing figures, particularly ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, who sought to prevent punishment despite the convictions.
The Israeli soldiers who are engaging in the rape of Palestinian men who have been taken prisoner had better watch it. At some point, some of these Israeli soldiers might be taken prisoner by the Palestinians, and they might see a big, brown Palestinian dong headed for their asses.

Don't be so shocked when this shit shows up at home. What do you think will happen if civil war or revolution breaks out domestically? The whole concept of having civil rules by which to wage war and treat prisoners is a construct of the ruling class. The reason they created it is because they are insulated from the depravity and violence that is caused by the act of slaughtering and crushing your fellow humans. The ruling class treats each other with civility and projects the image that wars are productive and politically unavoidable, but the grunts throw each other in the meat grinder. How can you expect people to tear down all the barriers that prevent you from becoming a psychotic murderer and still retain the view that they deserve to be treated with respect.
It is a known fact that within societies a certain percentage of the population has personality disorders or even psychotic disorders which may or may not be expressed according to circumstances.
The Zionist entity, and successive generations of Israeli citizens have for decades suffered a systematic beating beginning on the benches of school and aimed at indelibly inscribing in the collective unconscious, notions of superiority, towards the indigenous populations, dehumanization, all stained with Talmudic aberrations…
Moreover, since its inception, this dystopian entity based on myths and institutionalized terrorism has never known anything but violence, aggression, and successive «wars» feeding a pathological hatred generating, among the subjects predisposed, Behaviors that should be the subject of universal disgrace.
What is disconcerting, is that these behaviors are tolerated or even glorified and justified by religious authorities and ministers of the entity!
Moreover, these monstrous acts that if they had taken place in another country or if the victims were not the «human animals» of the Gaza ghetto would have triggered a disproportionate media scandal, these sado-masochistic acts never made the «front page» the shits of the mainstream press, and be certain that will not give rise to any prosecution and much less to any serious condemnation of these predators!
It’s perfectly clear! a dystopian entity, a sick society, suffering from collective sociopathy, doomed to progressive extinction by autolysis, unless a cataclysm of any kind puts an early end to it....
