        Matar says he and two other men were detained by a group of masked settlers wearing Israeli army uniforms, held for eight hours, stripped, blindfolded, beaten and sexually assaulted.

        Matar and the others allege they were accused of being terrorists, threatened, urinated on and had photos of their humiliation posted online.

        “I was hysterical. I started screaming: ‘I’m against bloodshed! I’m against Hamas!’ ” Matar told the Star at his office in Ramallah.

        His tormentor responded: “You’re all Arab s—. We’re going to kill all of you and kick you off the land,” he said.

        News of the story broke in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

        😧

        Edit:

        He described horrific treatment, saying they were beaten with a plastic pipe and a wooden shovel handle; doused in cold water; and had manure rubbed in their wounds. They were urinated on and even penetrated with a wooden cane, he said.

    I assume everyone is afraid they’ll lose their jobs and have their social media accounts banned if they post a comment, thereby revealing they engaged with “anti-semitic” media. Guess I’ll go first then.

    The total impunity of these people shows the real face of Israel. It stopped been a democracy a long time ago. Elections don’t make a democracy, it should be clear in 2023.

    And this is just the beginning. With the normal army south, they armed these extremists, sorry terrorists settlers and put them in charge. Yes that will end well. There are already reports of rape, torture, displacements and arrests.

    Look over there while we do this here.
