We now know a lot more about how the case against the rapists in Sde Teiman was dismissed. It was not the legal system that did it, bit rather the Defense Minister Yisrael Katz and Netanyahu: 1) Katz publicly attacked Military Advocate General (MAG) Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, framing the investigation as a "blood libel" against the IDF. 2) Following the leak of CCTV footage of the abuse, Katz leveraged political pressure to force Tomer-Yerushalmi out of her position. 3) This pressure signaled to the military legal apparatus that prosecuting soldiers, even with video evidence, would be treated as an act of treason. 4) Once a new Chief Military Advocate was appointed, all charges against the five reservists were dropped. The prosecution claimed a fair trial was no longer possible. 5) Katz met with the accused soldiers, apologized for the "wrong" done to them by the system, and ordered their immediate return to active service. 6) By rehabilitating the accused, the Defense Ministry effectively signaled to the ranks that such actions would be politically protected, impacting future IDF discipline. 7) The decision was praised by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This shows that support for the torture and rape of inmates goes all the way to the top. There is no other way to understand this. The rapes that have occurred in Sde Teiman and elsewhere, the torture and the abuse are being protected by Katz and Netanyahu. The State of Israel at the highest level has its fingerprints all over this.
