Israel Is Torturing Palestinian Prisoners to Death — With US Complicity Some Israeli leaders are pushing to legalize the torture and rape of Palestinians to avoid accountability. On June 26, 2023, President Joe Biden declared: “Torture is prohibited everywhere and at all times. It is illegal, immoral, and a stain on our collective conscience.” One primary perpetrator is Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who oversees the prison system. Under Ben-Gvir’s direction, the report notes, “torturing Palestinians has become an integral part of Israel’s detention system.” Ben-Gvir himself has made no secret of these cruelties. He recently confirmed that conditions inside Israeli prisons “have indeed worsened,” adding, “I am proud of that.” Dismissing basic rights as “perks” for Palestinian detainees, he boasted that he “dramatically reduced” shower time and introduced a “minimal menu” for Palestinian prisoners. Ben-Gvir reportedly takes special sadistic pleasure in watching Palestinian prisoners being tortured. “We are live-streaming it for Ben-Gvir,” one soldier recalled. Ben-Gvir also supports a bill to execute Palestinian prisoners to solve overcrowding, stating, “They should be killed with a shot to the head, and the bill to execute Palestinian prisoners must be passed in the third reading in the Knesset.” By Seraj Assi , Truthout PublishedAugust 12, 2024 truthout.org Not really surprising. Like the Nazi Derlewanger Brigade, MI6's Libya Islamic Fighting Group, the US's Islamic State, and Israel's Hilltop Youth, there is likely to be recruitment of especially violent soldiers to carry out acts that the regular soldiers would not in order to terrorize the opposition.
