Sami al-Saei said he heard the Israeli prison guards who raped him laughing through the assault, before they left him lying blindfolded, handcuffed and in agony on the floor to take a cigarette break.
At least one of the group knew a crime was being committed and intervened, not to stop the torture but to prevent its documentation. Al-Saei said he heard the man warning others “don’t take a photo, don’t take a photo” as they attacked.
“I tried to prevent them by clenching my muscles (in my anus), but I could not. They forced it in very deep, it was extremely painful,” he said in an interview about his ordeal. “I don’t know how loudly I screamed from the pain.”
It left him in so much pain that he collapsed twice when ordered to stand up and walk afterwards. Moved to an overcrowded cell, al-Saei said he received no medical treatment and was forced to use wads of toilet paper to staunch the blood.
Next time you hear our US politicians, or other western politicians, speak about some moral, some common good, remember this. They support this, they ignore it, they suppress information about it, they ruthlessly pursue anyone protesting stuff like this.
It gives lie to their whole schtick. They are cynical manipulators. We need all new leadership, not principally for this either, just to get the worse guys out we need popular reform tickets not status quo weak leadership not calling out anyone screwing us, winning only as a rejection of the other party.
Rape is abhorrent, and anyone supporting it because they think they don’t like the victim is a piece of shit, liable to manipulation, and with a weak mind they would be susceptible to it.
Israel does not have a right to exist.
