Clickbait title. The acceptability of this depends on the severity of military punishment.
There was no punishment from the army.
Do you have a source for that? It isn't mentioned in this article, but if true, that's completely unacceptable. Add them to the Hague's list.
3 suspects in Sde Teiman abuse case released after new evidence presented
Thanks for the source. Walking away without any repercussions is not acceptable, even if the five still under remand were really the main perpetrators.
I sincerely doubt the five of them will even face repercussions. If any of them do it will be to save face for the media. The rape abuse has been reported on for months and only when the story got picked up by the UN did israel start pretending they cared.
Israeli military court is infamous for letting soldiers off with war crimes against Palestinians if they just claim it was self-defense (fun fact the lawyers of the soldiers actually claimed it was self-defense)
How often does an occupying army censure its soldiers for harming the people being occupied? The occupation is meant to be harmful.

I'm not going to get into tit-for-tat cherrypicking, but military justice is no joke when applied correctly.
Did the people who actually ordered that mistreatment get punished, or merely the people that carried out the orders?
That's a rhetorical question, we know the answer. Get better at cherrypicking, you found sour plums.
I understand that you feel honour-bound to stick up for the groups you identify as. As an American, I assume? Perhaps as an ex-service member, or as someone related to people in that field. And, likely, as a human. Please understand that I'm not interested. I am heavily autistic. Emotional attachment is rare for me, and instead I interpret things more factually. I do not emotionally attach to the label of human, and I am not motivated to invent reasons to defend humanity as being likely to achieve great moral success. The facts indicate that humans are not doing so. If you wish to change my mind on this, I would be very pleased to see all children fed. They are innocent, after all, and people generally agree they should not be neglected. All I ask is for those moral preferences to be acted on, to the benefit of all living beings.
Wrong on all counts. I really don't know what to say to the rest of your comment, other than I agree that the behaviour of a person towards others — especially strangers — is the best indicator of their character.
