From the outset, I've noted that the Biden/bribe story — included in the GOP impeachment probe! — made no sense. Now, DOJ has indicted the source for inventing it.

Here's the story and the context, no paywall. https://wapo.st/49i5Y6I

#IDF / New testimonies detail torture and abuse of Gazan detainees in Israeli jails, detention centres

[…] The most concerning testimonies that Euro-Med Monitor received concern female detainees who were directly sexually harassed. The female detainees, who preferred to remain unidentified due to safety concerns, said that Israeli soldiers had harassed them by touching their genitals as well as making them remove their headscarves. Additionally, the rights group confirmed that the soldiers forced the female detainees and their families into providing information about others by threatening to indecently assault and even rape them.

Who is surprised? No party to the conflict has a lock on depravity.

Grateful to The UnPopulist for publishing my piece on the broader implications of Texas defying federal authority on the border and Republicans aggressively endorsing precisely the argument slave states used to justify secession.
