Insane framing. He was anally gang-raped. He was severely beaten and then anally gang-raped on camera. Both a knife and a taser were reportedly used. There was a hole in his rectal wall. He got surgery for it. Because he was anally gang-raped by the IDF (on camera). He also had 7 broken ribs and other injuries as well. After it happened, Israelis staged multiple large protests in the streets. Not because they believe these soldiers did anything wrong, but because they were infuriated that the soldiers were arrested for anally gang-raping a Palestinian on camera. These protests weren’t just random people. They included multiple high ranking Knesset members (their Congress) who defended the anal gang/rapists. They didn’t stop there. They went after the lawyer who leaked the video. She was publicly smeared, was forced to resign, and was arrested. And now the anal gang-rapists who were caught on camera have had their charges dropped. They didn’t win in court. They weren’t somehow exonerated. The charges were completely and indefensibly dropped. The Jerusalem Post reports that there was sufficient evidence to take this to trial. This is part of a larger pattern of torture and impunity. NYT and many other major outlets have extensively detailed the abuses at the Sde Teiman torture factory. NYT reported that Prisoners lose 30+ pounds, a nurse was anally raped by a metal rod, another man was raped by a dog, and another was anally raped by a fiery hit rod until he died. Yes, the NYT reported all of that. I’ll share sources in the replies. Torture and sexual assault are commonplace at Sde Teiman, and many prisoners die in the process. The UN concluded that rape from IDF soldiers is so commonplace that it constitutes official “strategy of war”. And of course these monsters virtually never face jail time. Because Israelis by and large don’t have any problem with any of it. This is just what their society does. They torture Palestinians.

Two possible things going on here: 1) Trump, the man-child, was manipulated into this war by people around him with their own political (Rubio), financial (Witkoff/Kushner), religious (Hegseth) agendas. 2) Trump is trying to divert the blame for this unpopular war onto others.

Trump: "Based on what Steve and Jared and Pete and others were telling me, Marco is so involved, I thought they were going to attack us"

Forgive me for not sounding like a Senate candidate when I say this. Lindsey, fuck all the way off. Sincerely, A mom of three South Carolinian children and the person who is going to end your career💙

GRAHAM: “I’m asking South Carolina to send their sons and daughters.” Hey, @LindseyGrahamSC—go to your district and say that out loud in a public place in front of your constituents. Dare you.

You’ll see a lot more of this in the coming days. Iranian diaspora activists who backed the Trump administration’s war on their country slowly coming to realize that Trump has no interest in helping Iran or Iranians. He screws over everyone who supports him, always. 🤷🏽‍♂️
Nazanin Boniadi@NazaninBoniadi

This only alienates the Iranian people who have until now been supportive of targeted intervention to bring down the regime and allow them to self-determine It also plays into the regime’s narrative that its fall will destroy Iran. Iran’s territorial integrity is nonnegotiable.

Just so we’re all clear — a new WSJ story has a U.S. senator (Lindsey Graham) meeting a foreign intelligence agency and “coaching” that foreign nation’s prime minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) on how to push Trump into bombing Iran.

The Big Boss heard from the Mossad that Trump was talking to Iran without permission and behind his back. He called the WH and they assured the Boss that they weren't. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner report in almost daily to the Boss about Iran. From the IDF's @BarakRavid:
