Israeli prison authorities gave a tour of a maximum-security facility to Jewish settlers where they held a “Torah lesson” and observed the abuse of Palestinian prisoners, Israeli media reported on 23 February.

Kobi Yaakobi, head of Israel's prison system, invited 20 members of the synagogue in Har Homa, an illegal West Bank settlement near Jerusalem, on a “safari” tour of Nitzan maximum-security prison.

Palestinian detainees, including alleged members of Hamas's elite Nukhba forces, were handcuffed and forced to lie on the ground to be observed by the visitors. The Jewish settlers ate an “indulgent lunch” in front of the prisoners, who were fasting for the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

The settlers also “blessed” the prison guards.

Some people clutch their pearls nowadays at how the Soviets dealt with Nazis, but seeing the modern equivalent to them with our own eyes proves that the Soviets were being very merciful to those monsters

I'm reminded of that quote from Black Jacobins about the Haitian revolutionaries:

"When history is written as it ought to be written, it is the moderation and long patience of the masses at which men will wonder, not their ferocity."

Great quote and by now I think (thank fkn god) the majority of people run out of patience. Problem is israeli infected all the decision makers, politicians, media personalities through money and blackmail. Luckily i know a medicine, a one time capsule.
