65 percent believe army punishment is enough for reserve officers accused of sexual assault at Sde Teiman prison

Since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October, many Palestinians detained by Israeli forces have said they were sexually abused by troops at Sde Teiman.

However, no one had been arrested for the abuse until 29 July, when military police raided the facility, clashed with the soldiers and took them into custody.

On Sunday, the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) revealed that 65 percent of Israeli Jews thought that the five should be punished only by the army and not face criminal charges.

The same INSS poll on Sunday also revealed that 47 percent of Israeli Jews believed Israel should not obey international law during the course of the current war in Gaza.

    I sincerely doubt the five of them will even face repercussions. If any of them do it will be to save face for the media. The rape abuse has been reported on for months and only when the story got picked up by the UN did israel start pretending they cared.

    Israeli military court is infamous for letting soldiers off with war crimes against Palestinians if they just claim it was self-defense (fun fact the lawyers of the soldiers actually claimed it was self-defense)
