The 'Israeli' army has launched a criminal investigation into the leak of footage from the Sde Teiman detention camp, which shows a blindfolded, handcuffed Palestinian detainee being raped for approximately 15 minutes by a unit of 'Israeli' reservists.

The probe focuses on whether officials in the Military Advocate General’s (MAG) office which facilitated the leak to Channel 12, rather than targeting the perpetrators themselves. 'Israel’s' chief military prosecutor, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, has taken leave amid the scandal.

The world has accepted Israel as a country for almost 80 years.

No, most of the states of the world has recognized the State of Israel, but not all. See this comment from @geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml.

    Even in that comment chain, it references that Jordan signed a peace treaty with them. So at one point they did, in fact, recognize it as a country.

    They have a seat at the UN. They have passports recognized by every developed nation. They have treaties and engage in international trade with other nations. They fit every definition of a country. They are, in fact, a country.

    Once again, just because you don't like them and think they shouldn't exist, doesn't change their status as a country. I personally don't like North Korea, but I don't go around claiming it's not a real country, because that would be a fucking stupid claim to make.

    Again, No. Algerian, by example, don't recognize the State of Israel, and it's not the only that not recognize it. I expect that they don't accept their passports (but I can't confirm it).

    Jordan historically has had a strange relation with Palestine and the PLO. A pro-Palestine population with their elites and monarchy fearing them. Then, I will be not surprised if they changed their mind with the recognition, that was done just after the Oslo accords.

    But my comment was to explain that I disagree with your claim that’s just fucking stupid to use quotes for 'Israel' and that the generalization you used to justify your position was not accurate.
