Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the leak of footage showing ostensible abuse of a Palestinian prisoner at Sde Teiman “caused enormous reputational damage to Israel, to the IDF, and to our soldiers.”

“It is perhaps the most serious public-relations attack Israel has experienced since its founding — I cannot recall one so concentrated and intense,” he continues.

Note: the soldiers are accused, including in statements from medical staff, of gang raping a Palestinian prisoner with a knife.

      I mean they did anally rape the guy with a knife and curbstomp him in the chest, soooo the optics are not great.

      These people are every bit as bad as the Nazis and all one has to do to see the truth is listen to them in their own words 🤷

            Such a number would represent almost 8 percent of Gaza’s pre-war population of 2.3 million.

            And there are still a lot of people trying to weasel out of using the genocide label. Including higher ups at wikipedia! Makes me very angry.
