Israel has conducted a systematic policy of prisoner abuse and torture since the start of the war in Gaza, subjecting Palestinian detainees to acts ranging from arbitrary violence to sexual abuse, a report from Israeli rights group B’Tselem said on Monday.
The group said the report was based on interviews with 55 Palestinians from Gaza, the West Bank and Israel, who were detained in Israeli prisons since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel that set off the war, most of them without being tried.
“The testimonies clearly indicate a systematic, institutional policy focused on the continual abuse and torture of all Palestinian prisoners held by Israel,” the report said.
The report was issued days after the Israeli military detained nine soldiers accused of severe abuse of a prisoner in a military facility in the Negev desert. According to Israeli press reports, the soldiers are accused of sexually abusing a member of an elite Hamas unit.

While far-right extremists from all corners of the internet are targeting vice-president Kamala Harris as she takes the reins of the Democratic ticket, one of the longer standing US-based neo-Nazi terror groups is also attempting to continue its covert activities as the presidential election season begins in earnest.
Rinaldo Nazzaro, 51, a former Pentagon contractor and analyst at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) turned founder of the Base, wrote on his personal Telegram account that he’s seeking a stateside leader for his organization and is willing to pay them a salary of up to $1,200 a month.
The Russia-based leader, who is the subject of an FBI investigation and once called a Department of Justice “matter” by a US government official, is not known to have set foot in the US in years. With the recent surge in racially motivated riots in the United Kingdom, authorities across the west have become increasingly concerned with Russian sponsorship of far-right extremists.

When we allow our fears, biases, and negative mindset, behaviours, and attitudes to rule our lives, we give up our freedom to choose, grow, and become aware of the power we have on our existence.

cầu nguyện giữa thép gai, art by Đinh Trường ChinhA verse in Vietnamese by Lê Vĩnh Tài
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâmthe country is under attack
my dear angry youthful one
the resentment lie within your heart
it’s there on your hot flushed cheeks
to hide the tears
a diamond point aiming at
an embittered history
history dictated by
vicious famines and spineless genocides
the sun is now out of sight
fields tinted with moonlight
red is the West, redder is the East, people running as though they were launched
from portable missile launchers
an undefined orange skin moon rising
gradually turning into the burning yellow of fire
as the hill falls into the dark, who will not be able to
find their way home
the scent of the night, pungent and damp
at the precipice of light, brilliant beauty
and for as long as you can remember my dear
you have idolised the enthralling women on the battlefield
dare you imagine that it would be your turn
unheard of is a kind of bitterness that can yield
to the barrel of a gun
who will love you without reservation?
even to my last breath
beyond my laughter
phenomenal single shot of the gun
dearest, your eyes are the source of joy
your heart is the flame
if they all abandon you for the unknown
return to their path of fear and darkness
then you alone my love will be the rain once more
a storm of petrol bombs
more vigorous is the flame when your soul, my love
must contemplate such a path alone
oh beautiful one, let me worship you at your feet
let it rip, the cry of your submachine gun
let them face their mistake to the end
pay for their sins
be rid of these flame thieves
turn them into spectres
from this human world begone
the animal farm
đất nước đang bị tấn công
điều đó nằm trong trái tim
hỡi bạn trẻ giận dữ của tôi
điều đó nằm trên gò má nóng bỏng của bạn
để che đi giọt nước mắt
điều đó như một viên kim cương
để ngón tay chỉ thẳng vào đắng cay lịch sử
lịch sử là những trận đói tàn ác
những cuộc diệt chủng hèn nhát
mặt trời đã khuất, và mặt trăng ló dạng
trên những cánh đồng
phía tây màu hồng, phía đông màu đỏ
họ lao đi như tên lửa vác vai
vầng trăng mờ màu da cam mọc lên
và từ từ đổi thành vàng vàng của lửa
trong khi những ngọn đồi tối sầm lại
ai đã quên lối về
mùi hương đêm, nồng nặc, ẩm ướt
trên bờ vực sáng ngời, hỡi sắc đẹp
những nữ chiến binh từng làm em mê say
từ khi em còn thơ dại
nhưng có bao giờ em dám chắc mình lại như bây giờ
không đắng cay nào có thể bẻ cong
nòng súng
ai yêu em đến tận cùng?
mặc dù tôi phải thở
tiếng cười của tôi cho đến chết
tiếng súng lẻ loi nhiệm mầu
đôi mắt em là niềm vui
trái tim em là ngọn lửa
nếu tất cả rời bỏ em và quay trở lại
con đường mù mịt và sợ hãi
thì một mình em có thể tạo ra một lần nữa
trận mưa bom xăng
ngọn lửa mạnh mẽ hơn
nếu linh hồn em phải đi một mình
người đẹp, tôi tôn thờ bạn
hãy để khẩu tiểu liên của bạn khóc
hãy để cho bọn chúng cuối cùng tự mình
xin chuộc lại tội lỗi
hãy để những kẻ trộm cắp của ngọn lửa
thành ma trơi
hãy để cho thế giới con người
không còn trại súc vật
