The Israeli investigation of the rape became necessary after reports by CNN, the New York Times (archived) and the Washington Post (archived) about prisoner abuse and murder in Israeli jails. The reports threatened to trigger international investigations:
Judicial officials told Ynet that the serious suspicions must be investigated. "An internal Israeli investigation is better than an international probe," the said. "Abuse of prisoners could cause unprecedented damage internationally. Internal investigations protect Israel from the International tribunals in the Hague. If we do not investigate, we are ensuring the political and military leaders end up before those courts and Israel subjected to grave steps. The suspects were detained for questioning and not arrested. They will receive a fair and just due process. "Lawyers for the suspected reservists denied the accusations of rape and said the prisoner refused a search when he was moved to the Sde Teiman facility and was restrained by force.
To describe a brutal anal gang rape as "restrain by force" requires some chutzpah.
israel is nothing more than a brutal occupying force.. and yet the propaganda is that the isreal army are the most moral in the world, try and minimize civilian casualties blah blah ..
obviously, these rapes have been going on for ever and a day ..
shame on posters like @Rabitohs and @Bobbin who support these warmongering israelis ..
the good news is that ISREAL WILL NOT CELEBTRATE 100 YEARS .. there is simply no place for these war mongers in a civilized world
