"Sexual violence and deliberate harassment have become increasingly common in the occupied West Bank, perpetrated by Israeli soldiers and settlers. According to observers, these acts are no longer isolated incidents but rather systematic tools used by Israel to pressure Palestinians and force them to leave their homes.
On March 13, in the middle of the night, more than 70 settlers attacked Khirbet Hamsa al-Fawqa.
Qusay told Al Jazeera that the settlers divided themselves into groups to attack the Palestinian tents. Five of the settlers attacked his tent – where he had been asleep – and began beating him severely with their hands and sticks. They also assaulted two foreign female activists who were sleeping in the same tent.
“The settlers then forcibly removed my pants while tying my hands and feet, binding my body with my belt, and stripping me of my underwear,” Qusay said. He recounted that the settlers then beat his genitals, tied his limbs and genitals with plastic zip ties, and humiliated him, before threatening to repeat the assault if he did not leave the area.
The assault on Qusay and all the residents of the area lasted for approximately 45 minutes. During that time, many residents, including children, reported being beaten, and said they were threatened with death if they didn’t leave immediately. The settlers also stole hundreds of livestock.
At the end of the assault, Qusay said that the settlers dragged him along the ground without his underwear and severely beat him all over his body, including his eye, which later became swollen."

Francesca Albanese speaks for the #Palestinian people and the whole civilized world.
In this video she is describing the #torture inflicted on Palestinian #prisoners in custody in #Israel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq9L_FGh2kQ
To summarise: #SexualAbuse including #rape, #dogs being set on #prisoners causing such terrible wounds that prisoners died / were murdered, #beatings prisoners to #death / #murder. Israelis #photographing and #videoing their crimes to glorify their actions and finally the #genocide of the Palestinians creating to a #TorturousEnvironment not just in #Gaza and the illegally occupied #WestBank but for Palestinians and others around the world. All while the #zionists treat Palestinans as less than human and glorify the #IDF #IOF and pass a #law making #CapitalPunishement for Palestinans legal but which does not apply to #Israelis.
As Ms. Albanese rightly points out every government across the world signed the #UniveralDeclarationOfHumanRights the #GenocideConvention and more. Every single country across the world should be doing all it can to stop the genocide and torture of the Palestinians, the genocide in Sudan and the genocide in Congo.
The world fought a world war against the Nazis and Imperial Japan. That is what is needed now. The world needs to #invade #Israel, #Sudan, #Venezuela and #Congo. The perpetrators of these most heinous crimes possible need to be arrested, tried and thrown in jail for the rest of their lives.
We need revolutions here in the #ImperialHeartlands of #Europe, #NorthAmerica and especially the #FormerUSA. Any politician who is supporting and encouraging regimes around the world who commit #murder #WarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #torture and #genocide needs to be tried alongside the motherfuckers who are committing the crimes. Then they need to be in jail for the rest of their lives too. I hope they are find themselves sharing a cell with a Israeli soldier who likes to #sodomise men with a knife.
If this doesn't happen then humanity is #doomed. To quote the last lines of Ms. Albanese's speech "What is lost in Palestine will be lost to us all".
We are becoming like the most bloody and brutal societies in history but with better #weapons and #technology. #Palentir and #AI can generate a #KillList or #TargetList in a second. Then a #drone or #F35 drops its payload a few minutes later. If nothing else its efficient. Though it still comes down to knives, clubs and muscles when someone is beaten to death.
We need to learn the lessons from history contained in the following video all over again.

May what ever gods, goddesses or other all powerful beings there may be have mercy on us all.
