Krystal Ball - " These soldiers were literally caught on tape raping a Palestinian [View all]

“These soldiers were literally caught on tape raping a Palestinian. Their initial arrest sparked the infamous “right to rape” protests. Apparently the protest succeeded in its aims of total impunity for torture and abuse of Palestinians”

BREAKING: The Israeli military says it is dropping charges against five soldiers who were accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee.
