IDF Uses Telegram Channel to Post Congratulatory Images of Killed and Abused Gazans

HeadlineDec 13, 2023

A Haaretz report about a Telegram channel said to be managed by the Israeli Defense Forces has provoked horror and comparisons to the Abu Ghraib military prison in Iraq. The channel, launched shortly after the start of the Israeli assault, is called “72 Virgins — Uncensored” and posts graphic videos and photos showing the killing and torture of Palestinians. The images are usually accompanied by racist text, such as “Exterminating the roaches,” and joyful emojis.
