America’s policy of giving Israel billions of dollars every year, no matter how monstrously it acts, emboldens it to continue its grotesque crimes

Israel portrays itself as a beacon of morality; the only source of light in the otherwise dark and barbaric Middle East. But is the country really that righteous?
A new report from Middle East Eye, titled “‘I Wished for Death’: Sexual Violence in Israel’s Prisons Is an ‘Organized State Policy’,” suggests the answer is an emphatic no. The piece highlights testimonies alleging that Israel’s highest “political, military, and judicial authorities” approve sexual torture, including rape using objects and trained military dogs, against non-Jewish inmates. The details, pasted below directly from the article, will make you gasp. Emphasis is ours.
“One former detainee, a 42-year-old woman from north Gaza… said she was bound naked to a metal table and repeatedly raped by two masked soldiers… She recalled that she was left shackled, naked and bleeding throughout the night before the soldiers returned the next day to continue raping her… Throughout her ordeal, she was filmed.”
“Amir, a 35-year-old Palestinian man… recounted how soldiers forced him to strip naked, before their dogs urinated on him and raped him… He described how the dog ‘penetrated my anus in a trained manner while I was being beaten.’”
“An attorney with the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs described how a soldier… inserted a fire extinguisher nozzle into a Palestinian prisoner’s anus and then discharged its contents into his body.”
“Another former prisoner… recounted being shackled to a metal bed and repeatedly raped by soldiers and a trained dog… ‘Every time I screamed, I was beaten. This continued for several minutes, while soldiers filmed and mocked me,’ [he] said… Later, another soldier forced his penis into the victim’s mouth and urinated on him.”
Those stories and others like them “are not isolated incidents,” the report concludes. Instead, they “stand as evidence of a policy supported by senior civilian and military leaders, either through direct orders or by tacit approval and a climate of impunity.” Israeli law makes all of this possible, which allows “detention powers without judicial oversight and [strips] detainees of any legal protections.”
In other words, if Benjamin Netanyahu and his friends dislike you, they can treat you however they want.
According to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, responsibility for the abuse does not stop with its perpetrators. Instead, it is directly facilitated by the collusion of medical and legal personnel and the Israeli judicial system. Doctors reportedly obscure incidents of torture by hiding the culprits’ identities, and the “justice” system shields rapists by hiding evidence and reclassifying serious incidents as minor offenses. Take this March story as an example, showing the Israeli military dropping charges against five soldiers who allegedly raped a Palestinian detainee. The incident was caught on camera.
Enough of these kinds of stories exist to fill years’ worth of newsletters. Rather than publishing a list that would make your computer lose battery, we want to emphasize what this has to do with our country, the United States.
We enable these crimes.
America’s policy of unconditional Israel support, meaning Washington sends its “special ally” billions of dollars every year, no matter how it behaves, gives the Israelis a feeling of unaccountability that emboldens them to disregard any sense of basic decency. No matter how monstrously they act, they know they will always have the world’s largest GDP and military behind them. It’s like if a spoiled pre-teen faces no punishment after being rude to her parents. She will react by pushing the boundaries until she finds their limit. In Israel’s case, no such limit exists.
Donald Trump has repeatedly bragged that as President of the United States, he runs the entire world, not just America. For better or worse, he views his time in office as more than a chance to improve the U.S.; he thinks he can elevate all of humanity. Rather than bombing Iran, Venezuela, or Cuba, getting Israel under control would be an excellent first step.
