    These are disturbing links, if at face value they are true then this is truly disturbing. That said most of the information comes from second or third hand sources. It’s entirely possible that some Israeli’s are doing these things but it’s hard to believe that this is happening systemically throughout their entire military organization. It’s not forgivable and anyone doing it should be justly punished, but it seems crazy to assume that the mistreatment of prisoners is across the board as others have alleged.

    I might be on the wrong side of history here, but it’s a bit hard to believe that jews in Israel are raping men, women, and children left and right.

      Your seemingly level-headed approach to analysing this information would make sense if this, and all of Israel’s other crimes against humanity, weren’t already widely known.

      Imo you don’t actually seem to be acting in bad faith, but it’s pretty shocking that this is news to anyone on Lemmy, where such stories are shared fairly often.

      That is not what this implies, but the majority of Israeli citizens are either okay with this kind of thing or they will simply deny it. There are many polls and interviews that show what their society thinks about Palestinians.
