Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the leak of footage showing ostensible abuse of a Palestinian prisoner at Sde Teiman “caused enormous reputational damage to Israel, to the IDF, and to our soldiers.”
“It is perhaps the most serious public-relations attack Israel has experienced since its founding — I cannot recall one so concentrated and intense,” he continues.
Note: the soldiers are accused, including in statements from medical staff, of gang raping a Palestinian prisoner with a knife.
Netanyahu thinks THIS has caused significant reputational damage?Somebody have a time machine to show him this is just more of the same / expected BS in the past 2+ years?
I mean they did anally rape the guy with a knife and curbstomp him in the chest, soooo the optics are not great.
These people are every bit as bad as the Nazis and all one has to do to see the truth is listen to them in their own words 🤷
They also killed ~100.000 innocent people. That is since October 2023…
Probably at least triple that, since the last reliable estimate was as much as 186000 almost a year and a half ago and things have only gotten WORSE since then.
Such a number would represent almost 8 percent of Gaza’s pre-war population of 2.3 million.
And there are still a lot of people trying to weasel out of using the genocide label. Including higher ups at wikipedia! Makes me very angry.
If it can be destroyed by the truth, it deserves to be destroyed by the truth.
I’ve seen that wisdom cut the wrong way sometimes, but in this case it’s true.
Israel is like my abusive ex girlfriend Krista who like, when I’d walk in the room and find her snooping through my phone and I’d be like “hey why are you snooping through my phone?” and she’d start screaming at me and then she’d commit some genocide and war crimes
She was just defending herself.
I fuckin’ hate when that happens
I’d argue that having gang rapes within the IDF is the cause for the “reputation loss”, but leave it to Bibi to rewrite both history and the true meaning of words.

Maybe if it didn’t happen on the first place, this wouldn’t be the result.
Netanyahu, the IDF and the ruling right-wing government of Israel have caused enormous reputational damage to Israel by slaughtering scores of Palestinian men, women and children.
Scores? Try hundreds of thousands!
The whole world knew about israel terrorism for decades. Western countries no longer can ignore them anymore that’s all
“It is perhaps the most serious public-relations attack Israel has experienced since its founding — I cannot recall one so concentrated and intense,”
Always the victim…
Netanyahu’s actions here harm Israel’s reputation more than gang raping a defenseless prisoner. The video shows Israeli soldiers committing war crimes, but those are just lowly soldiers
When Netanyahu continues to allow that to happen and only works to prevent more video leaking, it’s clear this is Israeli military culture coming from the top
Israel is the Republican State of the middle east. Scream about a leak making them look bad, hunt for the leak, whine about how it makes them look, and keep doing the shitty things anyway.
Not the genocide? I’m shocked!
Removed by mod
I’m 100% sure that’s not the thing that made Israel look bad
Reputational damage.
The remaining 0.00000152% of people for whom genocide is just dandy, but raping prisoners with truncheons is an absolute red line are totally livid now, and will never forgive Israel.with truncheons
Absolutely not okay.
The knife rape was fine though. Knife play is just hot.
The Jewish Israeli official is a Hamas antisemite, y’all.
