US Urges Israel To Probe Video Of Prison Sex Abuse

The United States on Wednesday urged Israel to investigate and implement accountability after a video appeared to show soldiers sexually abusing a Palestinian prisoner.

A leaked surveillance video, broadcast on Israel's Channel 12, appeared to show soldiers picking out a prisoner at the Sde Teiman base, where Israel has been holding Palestinians detained during the Gaza war.

The Israeli soldiers seem to be performing sexual acts on the prisoner behind shields, with at least one of the troops with his hand on his own groin.

"We have seen the video and reports of sexual abuse of detainees are horrific," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.

Pot calling the kettle black

At least they recognize it’s bad to abuse people now.
