Both female and male Israeli soldiers raped Palestinian women from Gaza and the occupied West Bank – and Israeli citizens were allowed to watch and film the humiliation of stripped prisoners as a ‘zoo’-like form of entertainment – according to testimonies presented during the UN Commission of Inquiry’s public hearing on earlier this month.
Kifaya Khraim, International Advocacy Officer at the Women’s Centre for Legal Aid and Counseling, and ‘Witness 3’, a Palestinian woman human rights activist, gave the UN detailed accounts of sexual, reproductive, and other forms of gender-based violence committed by Israeli security forces and settlers. The testimony was part of the Commission’s third round of hearings documenting violations against Palestinians, particularly crimes targeting women’s bodies:
Israel has claimed that Israeli women have suffered sexual violence at the hands of Palestinians on 7 October 2023 and since, but these claims have been shown to be either without foundation or proven untrue, both by independent examination of evidence and by United Nations investigators. As the saying goes, it seems that Israeli accusations are a form of confession, exposing the dark mind of settler-colonialism, Zionism and occupation.
Every accusation is a confession. Every single time.
Next time I see Israel accusing Palestinians of anything, I will instantly condemn the IDF for doing that.
That is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever fucking read.
The worst people always end up in these places.
What do you mean?
Probably prison staff.
The more you look the more war crimes perpetrated by Israel you find. The victims have become the opressors
I’m not super knowledgeable on Israel’s history, but didn’t they just kinda show up and say, “This is my land now.”

The record of human habitation in what is today Israel dates to the Paleolithic Period. Efforts by Jews to establish a national state there began in the late 19th century. Britain supported Zionism and in 1923 assumed political responsibility for what was then called Palestine. Migration of Jews to this region, which increased during the period of Nazi persecution, led to deteriorating relations with Arabs. In 1947 the UN voted to partition the region into separate Jewish and Arab states. The State of Israel was proclaimed in 1948, and Egypt, Transjordan (later Jordan), Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq immediately declared war on it. Israel won that war (see Arab-Israeli wars) as well as the 1967 Six-Day War, in which it occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and east Jerusalem. Another war with its Arab neighbours followed in 1973, but the Camp David Accords led to a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt in 1979. Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 to expel the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) from that country, and in late 1987 an uprising broke out among Palestinians of the occupied territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip (see intifāḍah). Peace negotiations between Israel and the Arab states and Palestinians began in 1991. Israel and the PLO agreed in 1993 to a five-year plan to extend self-government to the Palestinians of the occupied territories. Israel signed a peace treaty with Jordan in 1994. Israeli soldiers and a Lebanese militia, Hezbollah, clashed throughout the 1990s. Israeli troops withdrew from Lebanon in 2000, and negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians broke down amid violence that claimed hundreds of lives. In an effort to stem the fighting, Israel in 2005 withdrew its soldiers and settlers from parts of the West Bank and from all of the Gaza Strip, which came under Palestinian control. In 2006 a Hezbollah operation against Israel resulted in a month-long war in Lebanon. The peace process between Israel and the Palestinians came to a near halt during most of the 2010s, and tension between Hamas, which took control of the Gaza Strip in 2007, and Israel escalated to open fighting several times between 2012 and 2021. Israel and Palestinian militants began a war on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched an attack on Israel that killed more than 1,200 people, primarily Israeli citizens, making it the deadliest day for Israel since its independence.

Your comment is the biggest lump of misleading reductionism I’ve ever read
Britannica
Ah, the most neutral of sources.
Here’s a better source, and I’m not just going to copy and paste this because it would strip citation links:
https://www.cfr.org/global-conflict-tracker/conflict/israeli-palestinian-conflict
While I’m not saying this is false, this website looks incredibly unreliable
I’m begging people to stop judging the information by how “reliable” a site looks. Look at the sources.
On that same note, also stop treating sites as “reliable” in and of themselves, look at their sources too. You’ll stop falling for so much of the “he says she says” bullshit that US media peddles.
I mean if a site looks like it was made by a single person, chances are you are going to get a heavily biased take
All correct opinions are heavily biased.
??? All media has a biased take, not even machines are free of bias. If you don’t recognize that NBC/CNN/NYT/WaPo is even more biased than any independent author you’re not paying any attention to the content, just the editorialized language of fake neutrality designed to fool people who care more about the appearance of factuality than factuality itself.
The site is pretty crowded but they link the UN video in the article which is the source for the claims in the article.
I dont know about this case, but if you want to learn more about how the average israeli doesnt see palestinians as humans, you can search for “right to rape protests israel”.
If you dont wanna look, the TLDR is that polls show the majority of Israelis think raping palestinians shouldnt be a crime.
Israel and its population are like a modern day Nazi Germany. Probably even more homogeneous in their genocidal beliefs than Germanys population was under Hitler.
Jfc that’s so fucked up. Every time I think they can’t get worse I’m proven so so so wrong
It’s a single person project.
