Israel set up facilities dedicated to torturing Palestinians: Rights group
Testimonies from 55 ex-Palestinian detainees reveal that more than a dozen Israeli prison camps set up after October 7 are dedicated to the abuse of those in custody, a report by Israeli rights group B’Tselem says.
Israeli human rights group B’Tselem has collected testimonies from 55 Palestinians, including 21 from the Gaza Strip, who had been held in Israeli prisons, detailing the torture they were subjected to.
The B’Tselem report, titled Welcome to Hell, revealed on Tuesday that more than a dozen Israeli prison facilities have been converted into a network of camps “dedicated to the abuse of inmates” since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza.
“Such spaces, in which every inmate is intentionally condemned to severe, relentless pain and suffering, operate in fact as torture camps,” it said.
The violations include “frequent acts of severe, arbitrary violence; sexual assault; humiliation and degradation; deliberate starvation; forced unhygienic conditions; sleep deprivation; prohibition on, and punitive measures for, religious worship; confiscation of all communal and personal belongings; and denial of adequate medical treatment”.
B’Tselem said at least 60 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since October 7, including about 48 people from Gaza.
The report said that detainee testimonies demonstrate “a systemic, institutional policy focused on the continual abuse and torture of all Palestinian prisoners”.
This policy, it said, is implemented under the direction of Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, with the full support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Given the severity of the acts, the extent to which the provisions of international law are being violated, and the fact that these violations are directed at the entire population of Palestinian prisoners daily and over time – the only possible conclusion is that in carrying out these acts, Israel is committing torture that amounts to a war crime and even a crime against humanity,” the report said in its conclusion.
Call for ICC probe
It called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate “individuals suspected of planning, directing and committing these crimes”, saying the probe was not possible inside Israel “since all state systems, including the judiciary, have been mobilized in support of these torture camps”.
B’Tselem also noted that the number of Palestinians held in Israeli jails has doubled to 9,623 since the war on Gaza began.
“We appeal to all nations and to all international institutions and bodies to do everything in their power to put an immediate end to the cruelties meted out on Palestinians by Israel’s prison system, and to recognize the Israeli regime operating this system as an apartheid regime that must come to an end,” the group concluded.
There was no immediate reaction to the report from the Israeli authorities.
Amber Rose Slams Donald Trump Endorsement Claim—’Absolutely Ridiculous’
Amber Rose has taken to social media to publicly deny allegations related to why she is endorsing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Rose, a well-known figure in the entertainment industry and an entrepreneur, posted a video to her 3.7 million followers on X, formerly Twitter, in which she wore a Trump 2024 baseball cap and addressed various rumors swirling around the internet.
“So, recently I’ve been seeing comments that the only reason I endorse Trump is because I’m in trouble for a crypto-scheme and I want Trump to pardon me. Its.. that’s absolutely ridiculous. I’ve never been in trouble in my entire life, I’ve never broken the law. I am a law-abiding citizen and I’m a sweetheart.”

The model/rapper/actress emphatically denied the rumors.
“So, I’m not out to scam people, I’ve never scammed anyone in my life. And just stop, guys, it’s corny. Like, just come to the terms that Trump is gonna win and he’s the best for our country. Um, I don’t need to get pardoned for s**t, so… To the rest of you, I love you guys and to the people who are trying to just make up s**t, you guys are f***ing weird.”
So far the post has garnered over half a million views, 30,000 likes, and 1200 comments on the platform, with many commenting in support of Rose and her support for Trump.
User @RealKenWalls wearing the same Trump baseball cap as Rose said: “Amber you are seriously amazing!!! Your speech at the RNC freaking ROCKEDDDDDD!!! And lookie there…we are twinning today!! Haha!!! Let them haters hate!!! Keep being your badass self!”
“Keep speaking truth Amber and never back down” commented @Bubblebathgirl with a thumbs-up emoji.
Another user @Liberacrat posted the now iconic photo of Trump following his assassination attempt with the word “Fight” emblazoned across it, commenting: “Right on, Amber!”
Prior to the release of the video, unfounded rumors about Rose’s links specifically with Trump and cryptocurrency had been circulating on social media and various online platforms.
The cryptocurrency market has seen a significant increase in celebrity endorsements over the past few years. High-profile figures have the power to influence public perception and drive massive investments into digital currencies. However, this also opens up opportunities for fraudulent schemes that exploit the fame and trust of celebrities to mislead the public and has resulted in several famous names being sued for their involvement.
Newsweek contacted the offices of Trump online outside of working hours on Wednesday for comment.
Biden Not Confident In Peaceful Transfer of Power If Trump Loses Election
President Biden
Peaceful Transfer If Trump Loses???
Not Happening, Folks
CBS
President Biden is worried about how Donald Trump and his supporters might react if Kamala Harris wins the 2024 presidential election … and it doesn’t sound good.
In his first TV interview since bowing out of the race, Biden sat down with CBS News and was asked straight up if he was confident in the peaceful transfer of power when the next president is sworn in January after the election results are certified.
Biden’s response … “If Trump loses, I’m not confident at all.”
POTUS went on to say he takes Trump literally over alleged warnings of a “bloodbath” if he loses another election … and voiced further concerns about Republicans being in charge of counting the votes in battleground States.
Biden’s referencing a Trump campaign rally from back in March, when he told a group of supporters in Ohio there would be a “bloodbath” if he lost the election.
MARCH 2024
C-SPAN
Trump was talking about protecting the auto industry from foreign competitors when he made the “bloodbath” remark … and Trump later clarified he was specifically referring to the auto industry.
But, Biden’s not buying it.
Trump continues to falsely claim he won the 2020 election, even after being criminally charged in Georgia and Washington D.C. for allegedly trying to overturn the results.
Plus, there was a whole insurrection when Biden’s win was certified in January 2021.
Biden’s sending another message to Trump and his supporters here … “You can’t love your country only when you win.”
89 days and counting … buckle up!!!
