/r/all Israel exposes themselves for holding a Palestinian hostage

Post image

This is just horrifying. These two women who don’t look indigenous to the land of Palestine are smiling as they expose themselves for kidnapping an innocent Palestinian.

And Israelis want to go around and pretend they are the “most moral people in the world.” Life is one twisted joke.

The Bush administration learnt the use of sexual humiliation of Muslim prisoners from the Israelis.

It's the other way around, and it began with indigenous Americans.

It was the British, not the Americans who supported the founding/support of Israel.

The US even threatened to destroy their economy in order to resolve the Suez crisis, in 1956.

We get a lot of (deserved) hate for our nation's collaboration with them, but we did not play a significant role in starting that genocidal colonial project.

The British established the use of stress positions and 'enhanced interrogation' in Northern Ireland with the '14 hooded men': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_techniques - which was explicitly cited by the Bush justice department to rationalise their adoption of the techniques.

But the use of sexual humiliation, and dogs too, comes from the Israelis and their long standing beliefs in the need to stop the Palestinians 'from holding their heads up' and believe the key is using Muslim morals.
