The 'Israeli' army has launched a criminal investigation into the leak of footage from the Sde Teiman detention camp, which shows a blindfolded, handcuffed Palestinian detainee being raped for approximately 15 minutes by a unit of 'Israeli' reservists.

The probe focuses on whether officials in the Military Advocate General’s (MAG) office which facilitated the leak to Channel 12, rather than targeting the perpetrators themselves. 'Israel’s' chief military prosecutor, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, has taken leave amid the scandal.

I agree. Here’s the thing that stresses me out with reading about historical context and mistakes other leaders have made about atrocities like this.

There isn’t always historical pretext. New things happen. And this could be just how it always is, for at least our lifetimes. The only option is fighting back somehow. But all the organizing I’ve done for the last 10 years have barely done shit.
