    Genocide? Not a problem. Breaking rules of war/Geneva Convention? Don’t worry about it. Tattling on the war crimes? Disappeared.

    Fuck Israel.

    They finally investigated themselves, and found the only person who did something wrong, reporting a gang rape.

    What is the state to do with someone who leaks classified/military state secrets, no matter the content? Serious question I haven’t seen addressed in this case.

    In any case, she knew she would eventually be fucked, life over, did it anyway, heroine. Wish she would have kept running, no idea what options she had escaping a genocidal government in a war zone. Wish she was anywhere but in Israel’s grasp.

      Any good state would turn whistle-blowers into the heroes they are. But Israel is the furthest from a “decent” state

      leaks classified/military state secrets

      Were they? Not sure activities & conduct of public agents are secrets the public isn’t entitled to know.

      she knew she would eventually be fucked, life over, did it anyway, heroine

      Before praising that, consider her office basically exists to perform token investigations, so international tribunals don’t investigate all other crimes.

      Traditionally Israel’s government and military have considered the existence of an independent judiciary a crucial barrier to international legal tribunals investigating Israel for alleged abuses against Palestinians.

      Where there is a robust national legal system willing and able to investigate and prosecute crimes, international courts are less likely to have jurisdiction to intervene.

      “Don’t they understand we had no choice? That the only way to address the wave of international legal proceedings is by proving we can investigate ourselves?” the investigative reporter Ronen Bergman quoted the advocate general telling colleagues six weeks ago, in a report for Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

      In recent decades many Israelis have seen the role of the military advocate general “as protecting soldiers from prosecution abroad”, said Prof Yagil Levy, head of the Institute for the Study of Civil-Military Relations at Israel’s Open University.

      “In other words, the law is not upheld as a value in itself, but as a defence against international tribunals.”

    Well, if I had to say something, at least she didn’t “fall out of a window”, but idk if that’s even a positive or a negative in this case.

    I assume a positive since she’s a whistleblower?

      Disappearing and reappearing/arresting a whistleblower is not a good thing, no.

        My point is that arresting them is marginally less bad than just outright disappearing them (ie murdering them “in secret”, despite the sort off open secret nature of the business).

    Zionism is a supremacist cult, and nearly all of Israel is a part of it.
