omg this is so sus
- just checked the stats on Israel's military detentions since 2024, and it's like 97% of alleged abusers have gotten off scot-free
. Meanwhile, the leaked video showing soldiers abusing a Palestinian detainee has been viewed over 10 million times on YouTube
. that's gotta be some serious international pressure coming down on Israel right now
anyway, looking at the graphs on Israeli military spending since 2015... it's like they're pouring all their resources into defense instead of development projects
. 2024 was a record year for military spending in Israel, with a whopping $45 billion allocated to the military
. that's more than double what they spent on education and healthcare combined
.
it's also wild to think about how Tomer-Yerushalmi's arrest has affected social media sentiment around Gaza
. just checked the Twitter hashtag #GazaUnderAttack, and it's been trending for days with over 10 million tweets
. that's a huge increase from last year when it was still recovering from the 2023 conflict
.
stats aside though, I think this whole situation says a lot about Israel's priorities as a country... or lack thereof
It's like, they're supposed to be protecting people, not abusing them. And now this woman who was supposedly on the side of justice gets arrested for trying to expose the truth? 
Not cool at all. The whole thing just feels so... corrupt 
the fact that she was able to leak that video without getting caught for years is just a huge breach of trust & it's crazy that only one soldier has been convicted for torture & abuse 
in all those cases. 
I just don't think the Israeli judiciary system is doing enough to address the issue of human rights abuses in Gaza 
it's all about avoiding accountability & deflecting attention
