The Israeli lawmaker from the ruling Likud party, Hanoch Milwidsky, said that “everything is legitimate” when asked whether it was justified to rape Palestinian prisoners.
“To insert a stick in a person’s rectum, is that legitimate?” asked Ahmad Tibi, a Palestinian lawmaker during a meeting, showed a video verified by several media outlets. “Yes! If he is a Nukhba everything is legitimate to do him,” screamed Milwidsky back.
In another incident, in response to pro-Israeli demonstrators breaking into the Beit Lid base, far-right Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich said that civil protests in support of Israeli soldiers accused of rape were “justified”.
“The civil protest against the terrible injustice towards the reservists in Sdei Teiman is justified and I support it with all my heart. In contrast to the hypocritical left who made breaking the law, refusing, and burning the state a method for a year and a half under the auspices of the attorney general, we have a responsibility to the state,” said Smotrich.
“Therefore: I call on everyone to maintain the law and the integrity of the army and the people,” Smotrich said, “Not to break into the bases and not to confront our brothers the soldiers, and the police, and to maintain the borders of the protest,” he added.
Dozens of Israeli right-wing rioters broke into the Israeli army’s Beit Lid base in central Israel earlier on Monday.
Nine Israeli soldiers in the notorious Sde Teiman detention centre were arrested on Monday on suspicion of raping a Palestinian detainee, sparking a riot where far-right activists and MPs stormed the facility.
They are being held at the Beit Lid base and rioters have sought to seemingly break them free or show their support.
There has been widespread reporting that Palestinian prisoners are being tortured in Israeli prisons.
The United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (Unrwa) said it received reports of mass ill-treatment of Palestinians taken captive from Gaza by Israeli forces, including detainees being urinated on and made to act like animals, and children being attacked by dogs.
A report, released on Palestinian Prisoners’ Day in April, warned that for the thousands of prisoners kept in detention by the Israeli army, physical, sexual, and psychological abuse was routine.
