Powerful new testimony at a UN Commission of Inquiry on Palestinian women facing “systematic sexual violence and intimidation by Israeli forces” that has been ignored by all our major ‘mainstream’ media outlets.
Israel’s consistent obstruction of all UN investigations into allegations of sexual violence since October 7, 2023 is profoundly concerning. There is substantial evidence indicating systematic, widespread acts of rape and other forms of sexual violence by Israeli forces against Palestinians.
Gazans freezing, homeless, sexually assaulted, gaslit; West Bankers face down Israeli and Palestinian Authority forces; a BDS win.
Israeli media coverage of the rape of Palestinian detainees demonstrates the widespread acceptance within Israeli society of sexual violence as a weapon of genocide.
166th Palestinian journalist killed; child malnutrition in Gaza; another evacuation order; “Gaza’s official death toll is a lie”; news of Israeli torture and rape of Palestinian prisoners keeps coming, keeps getting worse; Israel killed 12 West Bank Palestinians in 24 hours; majority of Americans don’t support sending troops to assist Israel; NY anti-masking law targets pro-Palestine protesters; VP candidate Tim Walz on Palestine; ceasefire agreement allegedly getting close; Turkiye joins ICJ case against Israel; more.
Israel and its friends have struggled to bring credibility to allegations of systematic rape by Hamas members on October 7th – once again, a testimony falls apart.
Palestinian women have frequently reported being raped or threatened with rape by Israeli soldiers. This incident is particularly horrific.
A New York Times “investigation” claiming a pattern of rape by Hamas on October 7 lacks credibility & is renounced by main victim’s family and a major feminist organization
A Palestinian woman filed a complaint after being subjected to an intimate search. Her story reveals the tip of an iceberg of Israeli misconduct, excuses, and cover-ups at the highest levels of the security and justice establishment.
In a world where the oppressor always has the upper hand, this 15-year-old Palestinian boy had the courage to tell the story of his torture and rape while in Israeli custody. The practice is well-documented, but Israel has so far escaped accountability.
