@haralabob @JustinBonomo I always knew you were an arrogant dipshit, but nonsense like this confirms it.

@JustinBonomo This doesn’t even seem like it can be real, it’s so beyond the pale… it’s really heartbreaking how desensitized we’ve become to all of this

The IDF tortured a toddler for hours to coerce his father. They used cigarettes and nails. On a toddler. We should all have a strong, visceral reaction to the cruelty, but I want to focus on the complicity. Don’t get me wrong, the cruelty absolutely infuriates me. I alternate between seething rage and immense sadness when I read about these atrocities. But the complicity reveals something much deeper. It shows that by and large, Israeli society does not see widespread torture of Palestinians as a problem. The toddler was held at a busy IDF checkpoint. Witnesses say multiple soldiers were involved, and that he was held for 10 hours. How many soldiers had the chance to say, “Maybe we shouldn’t put out our cigarettes on an 18-month-old baby”? We could lower the bar to the ground and ask: why didn’t anyone say, “There are too many people watching for us to torture this baby. The whole world will see the cigarette burns. Let’s at least be discreet.” As someone who has read thousands of these reports and testimonies, I can tell you why not - these sick IDF terrorists believe this behavior is acceptable. Let’s talk about 17-year-old Walid Ahmad from my last post. He was starved and beaten for 6 months inside Megiddo Prison in northern Israel until he collapsed, hit his head, and died. Megiddo is a large, high-security prison that has held as many as 2,000 detainees - most of them held without charge or trial. A prison of that size has hundreds of employees. That means that over 6 months, hundreds of Israelis watched 17-year-old Walid be starved and beaten until he collapsed and died. The “post-mortem examination indicates Walid suffered from extreme body muscle and fat wasting, evidenced by a sunken abdomen.” In other words, his starvation would have been obvious to anyone who saw him. Yet the starvation of this child, who had never been convicted or even charged with a crime, continued without impediment. For 6 months. I wish I could tell you this was an isolated incident. But it isn’t. Public allegations of torture and severe abuse of Palestinians in Israeli custody go back at least 59 years, to the beginning of Israel’s modern occupation of Palestine. For example, Amnesty International released a 71-page memorandum on torture in Israeli prisons back in 1979. It referenced reports from the London Sunday Times, the Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights, a United Nations Special Committee, the U.S. State Department, the Swiss League of Human Rights, the International League of Human Rights, the International Association of Catholic Jurists, the National Lawyers Guild, the Christian Science Monitor, the Guardian, Pax Romana, and the Washington Post. This clearly shows that Israel’s 60 years of prolific torture isn’t just speculation or propaganda. It was repeatedly and extensively reported on by a wide array of trustworthy news sources and human rights organizations across the entire world. I’ll provide links to my sources in a reply. In 2024, B’tselem wrote a 117-page report titled Welcome to Hell. It opens with a quote from the prison where Walid was held: “We were taken to Megiddo. When we got off the bus, a soldier said to us: ‘Welcome to hell.’” If you’re not familiar with B’tselem, it’s a Jerusalem-based human rights nonprofit organization founded in 1989 by Israeli lawyers, doctors, and academics. The report features a seemingly never-ending collection of testimonials detailing the torture these prisoners faced. “Their testimonies uncover a systemic, institutional policy focused on the continual abuse and torture of all Palestinian prisoners. This includes frequent acts of severe, arbitrary violence; sexual assault; humiliation and degradation; deliberate starvation; forced unhygienic conditions; sleep deprivation; prohibition on, and punitive measures for, religious worship; confiscation of all communal and personal belongings; and denial of adequate medical treatment. These descriptions appear time and again in the testimonies, in horrifying detail and with chilling similarities.” I want to differentiate between two types of Israeli prisons. Megiddo, where Walid was starved to death, is part of the Israeli Prison Service. Others, like Sde Teiman (the most notorious of all of Israel’s torture factories), are run by the military. This distinction matters, because it shows that Israeli torture is not confined to a single type of facility. It’s not a unique anomaly. The torture persists as standard practice in both military detention sites and civilian prisons. Maintaining a system like this requires enormous complicity. At a minimum, thousands of Israelis across multiple distinct systems have directly enacted this torture. Many more have witnessed it and done nothing. Occasionally someone tries to speak out, but those cases are rare and often come with consequences. For example, the lawyer who leaked the video of 10 IDF soldiers gang-raping a detainee was smeared, arrested, and forced to resign. Politicians and demonstrators teamed up to riot in the streets on behalf of the IDF rapists. All charges against the rapists were eventually dropped. The complicity is the key to understanding the big picture. The widespread torture doesn’t come from just a few bad apples. The torture has been actively propagated in this form on a massive level by Israeli society for at least 59 years. The torture isn’t a bug. It’s a feature.

@thomaschattwill @Kasparov63 I’m sorry, are you scholars under the impression that Trump created ICE?

It’s never been about immigration

@MacFarlaneNews @MeidasTouch Amazing how you went from 100% unbiased reporter to a far-left idiot house in about 10 minutes. All those people who said CBS was a joke before Bari got there sure look dumb now.

ALERT: Professional news. Nine days after leaving CBS, I have found a new professional home: Chief Washington Correspondent and Anchor for @MeidasTouch

@RemiAdekoya1 @thomaschattwill Those people will be idiots then.

In 50 years time, documentaries asking “How could Americans have voted for Donald Trump?” will be a genre of their own. People will watch, and still not get it.

@ScottMcConnell9 @scottbe68160181 Smart lmfao. Sit down, moron.

@scottbe68160181 An antiwar Democrat, smart and not super woke.

My advice to Vance: Announce your support of 25th amendment transition. Say Chris Murphy or similar will be veep. Announce you will NOT be a candidate in 2028. Use your position, access to the media to explain why this is necessary. Don't resign.

@ScottMcConnell9 Get a hobby.

@Bakari_Sellers You literally have no idea what the jcpoa consisted of.

Obama literally did this.

@YikesOn_aBike @FinsXtra @thesetshow_ Grier’s a moron

@FinsXtra @thesetshow_ grier should've gave AVG a chance instead of trading for Chubb.

🗣 Bradley Chubb on playing with Andrew Van Ginkel: "One of the sneakiest best players ever. I only say sneaky because nobody talks about him but if you're on the field with him you're like, this is one of the best [players] on this field." (@thesetshow_) #PhinsUp

@FeserEdward @largebill68 Except he doesn’t have knowledge of the relevant facts.

@largebill68 I'm not "aligning" with anyone. I'm simply calling attention to the testimony of a government official with knowledge of the relevant facts. Don't play the stupid "guilt by association" game by which political hacks distract attention.

Trump in 2008: “Impeach[ing] Bush…would have been a wonderful thing…He got us into the war with lies…Bush got us into this horrible war with lies, by lying, by saying they had weapons of mass destruction, by saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true."

@jaketapper How old do you think Trump was that day, Jake?

FWIW Prime Minister Takaichi was born 20 years after Pearl Harbor

@ggreenwald @ThePretsky I don’t think you get to call anyone else a brainwashed midwit after this historic run of mind-numbing stupidity, Glenn.

@ThePretsky You people are not only brainwashed midwits, but you also have zero fixed beliefs.

This sounds like a very, very, very far distance from "unconditional surrender," but if Trump wants to declare victory and pretend that something important was accomplished so that he can pull out, the sooner the better. Let him throw a parade for himself if that will help.

@flasportsbuzz Weird how Dan likes strong borders when it directly impacts him.

If the squatter wanted to convince police he was the owner, I'm guessing it didn't help his case when he told law enforcement that he typically enters the home through the window.

@jessestovall @AGHamilton29 @ShawnRyan762 Dumb people lack discernment. It’s what makes them dumb.

@AGHamilton29 @ShawnRyan762 I feel like Shawn has lost the plot a long time ago and just dabbles in whatever comes his way. He doesn't appear rooted or grounded anywhere but is tossed to and fro by whatever the hot issue is. I don't think he's dumb but he lacks discernment.

So this is actually a very instructive example of the entire issue of the conspiratorial podcast scene. It would take exactly 2 minutes of research to know everything @ShawnRyan762 says here is objectively wrong. See next post for the explanation.

@Variety Nothing can overshadow your legacy, because it’s unmitigated dogshit.

@burackbobby_ To be fair he never knows what he’s talking about. Heavy drug use fries your brain.

Today is the four year anniversary of Rex Chapman on CBS talking about Pete Gillen’s death during March Madness. One problem: Pete Gillen is alive and was working for CBS during the segment.

@esaagar @dandcaldwell You’re still a moron, I see. Spent too much time in close proximity to that Palestine skank.

I recorded this segment about 8 minutes after Joe Kent resigned in which I predicted the admin would try to indict him Recall that the last time they smeared someone as a leaker it was @dandcaldwell who has been completely cleared of wrong doing

@Lastname_Baker The offense scored points

Are we ever going to discuss about what happened to the Dolphins after Flo left?

@ItsGiantsSzn @AllbrightNFL @ALLINwithArtPOD Buddy said a conditional third.

Here is what @AllbrightNFL had to say regarding Jaylen Waddle this AM on @ALLINwithArtPOD Great stuff here from Art and Benjamin!

@RubinReport “And so on this sacred National Drunk Driving Illegal Alien Day…” - @RepDanGoldman probably

Democrats will have a rally for him tomorrow…

@TheCinesthetic Denounce these nuts, lefty.
