Israel Detains Whistleblower, Not the Torturers, Apparently
Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, a public defender, is reportedly under investigation for exposing conditions at Sde Teiman detention camp, described as a 'torture camp' by The New Arab . She allegedly authorized footage showing Palestinian detainees abused, intended to 'counter false propaganda' – which, one assumes, means countering the propaganda that implies no abuse is happening. Our media faithfully
reports the incident, focusing on the leak, not the alleged torture. This isn't just about one whistleblower; it’s a pattern. The narrative consistently shifts focus from the accusations of systemic human rights violations to 'how did this get out?' Meanwhile, politicians like Senator Lindsey Graham, who received $20,000 from AIPAC in 2023, continue to advocate for unwavering support for the
Israeli government, without a peep about these alleged abuses. Funny how 'transparency' only applies when it suits the powerful, not when it inconveniences them.
