'Deeply Sick': IDF Murder Porn Channel Compared to Horrors of Abu Ghraib

Content posted to the Telegram platform, reportedly by the Israel Defense Forces, described as "full of hatred, dehumanization, and genocidal glee."

_ Promising "exclusive content from the Gaza Strip," a Telegram channel reportedly operated by a unit of the Israel Defense Forces regularly posts grotesque videos and images that depict the killing and mutilation of Palestinians—often accompanied by celebratory captions and emojis._

Citing an unnamed senior military official, the Israeli newspaper Haaretzreported Tuesday that the channel—titled "72 Virgins — Uncensored"—is run by the IDF Operations Directorate's Influencing Department, which is tasked with carrying out psychological warfare initiatives.

"The Israel Defense Forces denies that it operates the channel, but a senior military official confirmed to Haaretz that the army is responsible for operating it," reported the newspaper, which published screenshots of some of the content that has appeared on the channel since its launch on October 9—two days after the deadly Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.

Alarm Grows Over Wisconsin GOP's Supreme Court Impeachment Threats

Wisconsin Democrats are urging the U.S. public to pay close attention to the Republican Party's maneuvering in the key battleground state, where GOP lawmakers are floating impeachment proceedings against a recently elected liberal Supreme Court justice if she doesn't recuse herself from cases related to the state's gerrymandered legislative maps.

"We've been sounding the alarm bells on the dangerous threats from Republicans to impeach justices who don't follow their orders. And yesterday, they doubled down," Wisconsin Senate Democrats wrote in a social media post on Wednesday after state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-63) left open the possibility of an impeachment push against Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Vos suggested that Protasiewicz has "pre-judged" a potential case challenging the legality of Wisconsin's legislative maps. If Protasiewicz doesn't recuse, Vos said that would be "a pretty clear violation" and indicated impeachment proceedings would be on the table.

Wisconsin Republicans have the simple Assembly majority needed to impeach and the two-thirds Senate majority needed to convict. State Republicans are also currently attempting to remove Wisconsin's nonpartisan head of elections.

"This is crazy," Wisconsin Senate Democrats wrote Wednesday. "The entire country should know what's happening here in Wisconsin. Spread this far and wide."
