Western Media Won’t Call IDF Gang Rape What It Is

Western media has failed to accurately describe events at the heart of an Israeli military scandal, after the country’s top military lawyer was arrested for leaking footage of #IDF soldiers allegedly gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner.

The attack was so brutal that the man was hospitalised with a ruptured bowel, severe anal and lung injuries and broken ribs.

Sky News, BBC, Channel 4, The Guardian, Financial Times, Bloomberg, The Times, The Telegraph and The Independent failed to use the word ‘rape’ in their headlines when reporting on the story.

Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the leak “perhaps the most severe public relations attack that the State of #Israel has experienced”.

Defence minister Israel Katz accused Tomer-Yerushalm of participating in “blood libel” against the alleged rapists.
