The Viral ‘Prison Rape’ That Never Happened

JL;DR SUMMARY A high-profile scandal involving the arrest of Israeli reservists on false rape allegations against a Palestinian terrorist at the Sde Teiman facility has rocked Israel. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

"The raid quickly got out of hand. When other members of Force 100 learned of the arrest of their colleagues, they confronted the arresting officerscompelling them to use force. The whole strange affair was recorded on multiple cellphones and posted in real time on social media. By nightfall of the same day, the press in Israel and around the world would learn the cause of the raid: The arrested reservists were suspectedfalsely, it would turn outof raping a detained Palestinian terrorist."
Southern District, Israel
"There is reason to believe that what the inmate did in the toilet was remove an object he attempted to smuggle in his rectum. This corresponds to later medical reports that mention a cut four centimeters above the anus inside the rectum. The opinions of several physicians concur that there were no injuries to the anus itself and hence there could not have been forced insertion. An opinion obtained by the defense from professor Alon Pikarsky, the chief surgeon at Hadassah University Hospital, who reviewed the medical findings (but did not examine the patient himself), asserts that there is no indication of forceful insertion and that the internal injury is more likely to have been caused by something the prisoner inserted himself. On the basis of these opinions, it seems likely that the prisoner injured himself when attempting to remove the object, when he went to the bathroom that night, following the forced search by Force 100."
