Israel Punishes Leak, Not 'Abuse'
Israel isn't arresting soldiers for abusing Palestinians; they're arresting the person who *dared* to expose it. This selective justice isn't new. For decades, Israeli forces and settlers have committed abuses with near impunity, whether it's demolishing Palestinian homes in Masafer Yatta or the ongoing blockade of Gaza. The 'problem' isn't the systemic violence; it's when someone shines a light
on it that the system acts. One might wonder if the Israeli legal system prioritizes its public image over basic human dignity. The message is clear: 'Cruelty is fine, just don’t get caught – or worse, don’t expose us.' (This, while the US Congress continues to greenlight billions in military aid, often without debate.)
