EINAT Temkin, a leftist American Jew and former analysis assistant on the College of Southern California Annenberg College of Communication and Journalism, has expressed her shock and dismay on the X platform over reviews confirming the ritualistic abuse of Palestinian prisoners, together with using canines.
Cross-confirmation of the allegations which have been floating across the web and mainstream media just lately, together with on the BBC and Tucker Carlson.
“Israel has denied all of the allegations, however rights teams say the fury within the nation over the 7 October assaults and the therapy of Israeli hostages in Gaza has created a tradition of impunity throughout the jail companies, particularly in the direction of detainees who’ve expressed help for Hamas and its assaults,” the BBC reported. They didn’t point out the canines allegations.
“In August 2024, leaked CCTV from inside Sde Teiman navy jail in southern Israel confirmed a Palestinian detainee from Gaza allegedly being abused with a pointy object by troopers, leaving the person with a pierced rectum. The assault allegedly occurred in July 2024.
“5 Israeli reservist troopers had been charged with aggravated abuse and inflicting severe bodily hurt to the detainee.”
Former Navy Advocate Normal Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi resigned, and was arrested final yr, after admitting her position in leaking a video of the alleged abuse by Israeli troopers. Israeli media reported on the scandal as effectively, however not the canines ingredient.
Nevertheless, on Could 22 the New York Occasions ran what Jewish sources referred to as “the Hamas-originated canine rape libel” claiming Israeli troopers skilled canines to rape Palestinian prisoners, prompting Bibi Netanyahu to threaten the Occasions with a defamation swimsuit.
“I do know not,” writes Temkin. “I’ve been avoiding this so long as doable, as I confess it fills me with such disgust and despair that I’ve discovered it troublesome to handle it. IMHO, that is in all probability essentially the most horrific, disturbing and traumatizing information to come back out of Israel since this complete nightmare started, and that’s saying fairly a bit.
“I’ll simply quote Phil Rockstroh for now as a result of I’m not prepared – and I don’t assume I ever will likely be – to tackle this verified report or attempt to course of it or talk about it in any manner form or type.”
Temkin’s fellow leftist and flotilla supporter Phil Rockstroh posted: “Israeli analyst Shaiel Ben-Ephraim has confirmed proof that Israeli forces are sexually assaulting Palestinian detainees utilizing canines inside Israeli detention websites.
“These testimonies had been collected and documented by quite a few human rights organisations, together with B’Tselem, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights and the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
“This occurred. That is taking place nonetheless. The proof is just too overwhelming,” mentioned Shaiel, who is not any pal of the Israeli settlers.
Temkin says if rape, as state coverage, was a follow of the Iranian authorities or had been routinely dedicated by members of Hamas or Hezbollah, the tales can be proliferate and the Western media outrage machine can be in excessive gear.
“But the offender is Israel and its victims are individuals of the Islamic religion thus Western media shows indifference,” she says.
In keeping with the Switzerland-based Euro-MENA (Center East North Africa) Human Rights Monitor, the Israeli navy is utilizing police canines to systematically assault Palestinian civilians throughout navy operations within the Gaza Strip. The canines are additionally used to intimidate, beat, and sexually assault prisoners and detainees in Israeli detention services.
“Quite a few incidents of Israeli forces utilizing massive police canines throughout navy operations within the Strip have been recorded by the Euro-Med Monitor subject workforce, significantly throughout raids of properties, shelters, and medical services,” the group claims.
“These methods embody testing websites earlier than raids with out having to enter them, by strapping surveillance cameras to canines’ backs, in addition to permitting canines to repeatedly maul or in any other case assault civilians, with none interference from members of the Israeli arm.
“In reality, based on testimonies, Israeli forces usually order the canines to assault civilians, and then mock the victims of the assaults.”
Temkin, predictably, blames Trump. “Trump, unhinged that his narcissistic will has been thwarted by fierce and sustained Iranian resistance to his conflict of imperial selection, lies that Iran is a nation of barbarians; subsequently, US/Israeli conflict criminality is just not solely justified however righteous.”
Temkin says that in his 2024 presidential marketing campaign, Trump slandered Haitian refugees “by his deranged, racist declare that they’ve a proclivity for consuming family pets”.
“But his soulmate in homicidal psychopathology Bibi Netanyahu’s IDF have models which have skilled canines to behave as rape supply techniques.”
Provided that Moslems see canines as unclean creatures as do rabbinic Jews, it’s not troublesome to infer why they might be utilized in such a foul and degrading method to each the animal and the human victims.
“By the repellent nature of the above crimes, one experiences a reflex to look askance in disbelief. Don’t. Flip your gaze to the true nature of the Zionist state,” says Temkin.
“Repulsion and outrage are a sane response to the dearth of humanity on show. The identical applies to US/Western societal and authorities elites who contrive to whitewash and bury the revelations of the Epstein saga.
“One’s thoughts is all however overwhelmed by the data of Israel’s rape prisons and the Epstein elites’ theme-park Island of human degradation are intertwined by decadence and cruelty of last-stage imperium. Don’t be mortified to the diploma you look away and transfer on. Undertake a examine in darkness.”
Temkin sees the US empire “in steep, irredeemable decline”. “Israel, as effectively, has set itself on a course of self-destruction. Future historians, social critics, philosophers, and artistic varieties will examine in depth our unlucky epoch. Be forward of the curve. Demand an finish to the West’s enabling of Israel.”
Tragically, the enabling of Israeli atrocities by Trump is basically his enjoying politics to the pro-Israel US evangelicals, the Republican Occasion neo-conservatives and the Jewish mega-donors who again them in each US pre-selection contest.
