Legitimate to rape with a stick?
“Yes, everything is legitimate to do! Everything!"
Hanoch Milwidsky, a lawmaker and member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, speaking Monday at a meeting of lawmakers, justified the rape and abuse of Palestinian prisoners, shouting angrily at colleagues questioning the alleged behavior that anything was legitimate to do to "terrorists" in custody.
Lawmaker Hanoch Milwidsky was asked as he defended the alleged abuse whether it was legitimate, "to insert a stick into a person's rectum?" “Yes,” Milwidsky shouted in reply to his fellow parliamentarian. " If he is a Nukhba [Hamas militant], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!"

Where is the Pope, the Dali Lama, the Muslim people … anyone? Anyone?
There is a special level of hell for baby killers, child killers, murders of the innocent, those who provide the weapons and the ‘stick’ and those wearing fancy neck ties who promote it all from their air conditioned chambers.
And let us be clear, my good fellow Americans: WE provide the Israelis with the "stick".
WE pay for the 2,000-pound bombs dropped on defenseless refugees huddled with their children in tents and cardboard shelters. WE provide the bullets used by snipers to intentionally cause head wounds in children. WE helped destroy the water and sanitation facilities that has now led to a spreading outbreak of polio.
The known crimes of a psychopath like Israel is bad enough , but what is even worse is when someone intentionally puts the weapons in the hands of the psychopath, lies to protect the psychopath and hands him an endless stream of cash as reward and encouragement for his sick crimes.
WE are worse than psychopaths. Our soul is not merely sick, it is dead. All of that was on full display with the corporate Congress as they gave Netanyahu a tongue bath. And let us be clear, the 100 or so who did not attend have pretty much voted to approve all funding for Israel's war of sick criminality.
Here is a footnote to the story Tom has outlined: "Far-Right Israelis Mob Bases After Soldiers Arrested for Allegedly Raping Palestinian".
But wait -- as is always true with Israel and our participation in the genocide -- it gets worse: "Several Israeli lawmakers and one minister took part in the attempt to free the nine reservists, who were hailed as heroes by multiple Cabinet members."

As bad and evil as they are, WE are worse.
Far worse.
After learning so much of the unabated abuse Palestinians have endured since 1949, I understand where Hamas is coming from and won’t be lectured that if I don’t condemn Hamas I side with terrorists. If the aggressor was Russia, Venezuela, Iran, or any of couple of dozen countries under US sanctions, Hamas fighters would be called freedom fighters. Our shameless double standard.
