American Dr Mark Perlmutter, who has volunteered in Gaza, says one of his Palestinian colleagues was taken by Israeli occupation forces, had his fingers shattered and was told to confess to being a member of Hamas or have his wife gang raped in front of him.
Soldiers ‘crushed’ his fingers, Perlmutter explains, adding that they also threatened to ‘send a drone to your bedroom window and incinerate your children.’ The doctor did not confess and spent 11 months being tortured in Israeli detention.
That headline seems like a bit of a catch 22. If he says he’s Hamas, he becomes a “legitimate” target.
If you refuse to tell us you’re Hamas, we’ll be forced to murder your family.
If you tell us your Hamas, we’ll be obligated to murder your family.
Totally different scenarios.
Genociders gonna genocide.
Boy. Im so happy that religious nut bags are using my tax dollars to kill children. /s
Honestly, if there is a hell. A lot of the American Christians are going to burn in it.
There isn’t. The only hell they’ll ever see is the one we create.
“There’s no such thing as hell, but you can make it if you try.”
Makes a lot of sense that the IDF are the same people largely training cops in the US. Conflicting logic and orders so no matter what they get to shoot.
That’s the point.
I sorta get it, but sorta don’t… and I’m proud of that. I’m glad I’m not a torturer (or official) who can seamlessly rationalize cruelty.
