Far-right supporters of Israel’s military-industrial complex are fuming mad that nine IDF (Israel Defense Forces) soldiers were arrested for allegedly raping and torturing a Palestinian prisoner.
Numerous members of the Israeli parliament joined other Israelis in storming the Sde Teiman detention center in southern Israel’s Negev desert where the nine Israeli soldiers are being held on suspicion of inflicting cruel and unusual punishment on Palestinians captives.
Since the Hamas attack from last October, roughly 4,000 Palestinians have been detained at Sde Teiman. The vast majority of them end up being interrogated for information, even if they are obvious non-combatants.
For decades, Palestinians have been held at Sde Teiman as part of the Israeli military’s efforts to extract intelligence from them. Many of them end up being tortured, raped, or even murdered while under the control of IDF soldiers.

The way Israel treats its prisoners is something of an exception in the civilized world. The sheer barbarism of what is now coming to light about rape, torture and murder within Israel’s detention facilities is nothing short of shocking.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir fully admits that conditions “have indeed worsened” over time at Sde Teiman, but instead of apologizing and promising reform, Gvir is publicly celebrating these revelations.
“I am proud of that,” Gvir said in full support of the abuse Palestinian prisoners are having to endure.
Gvir is proud that detainees at Sde Teiman are kept blindfolded at all times – and if they try to peek out, guards start beating them. He is also proud that detainees are prohibited from speaking to other detainees – and if they are caught, Israeli guards force them to hold their hands above their head for upwards of an hour as punishment.
In some cases, prisoners at Sde Teiman are forced to have their hands zip-tied to a fence to keep them in a stress position. Violators of any of Israel’s arbitrary prison rules routinely result in extreme beatings that shatter teeth and bones.
The New York Times reported that one Palestinian who was brought to Sde Teiman was beaten after falling asleep upon arrival. The prisoner was told by an Israeli guard that “this is the punishment for anyone who sleeps.”
A 39-year-old Palestinian nurse who was captured by IDF soldiers in Gaza was forced to sit in a chair wired with electricity at Sde Teiman. The constant shocks the nurse received caused him to urinate uncontrollably before losing his ability to urinate entirely after four days.
Other Israeli torture and terrorization methods that Gvir is proud of include:
– Setting dogs loose on sleeping detainees
– Throwing sound grenades at sleeping detainees
– Throwing detainees in a “disco room” where they are forced to listen to extremely loud music (one detainee said the sounds in the disco room are so loud that his ear started bleeding)
– Denying detainees food and water
“I was naked, cold, beaten, starving, exhausted, and completely drained,” said 26-year-old Moaz Muhammad Khamis Miqdad who on December 21 of last year was rounded up at gunpoint by Israeli soldiers while sheltering with his family at a school in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City.
“If any prisoner fell asleep, the soldiers would viciously beat him on the head or chest to keep him awake. They wanted us to stay between life and death.”
