UN Experts Demand Investigation Into IDF Abuse of Women and Girls in Gaza

A group of United Nations experts on Monday demanded an immediate and thorough investigation into reports that Israeli forces have arbitrarily detained, sexually abused, and executed Palestinian women and girls in the Gaza Strip.

“Some of them were reportedly holding white pieces of cloth when they were killed by the Israeli army or affiliated forces,” the U.N. experts continued. “We are particularly distressed by reports that Palestinian women and girls in detention have also been subjected to multiple forms of sexual assault, such as being stripped naked and searched by male Israeli army officers. At least two female Palestinian detainees were reportedly raped while others were reportedly threatened with rape and sexual violence.”

small44,

What the countries that stopped giving money UNRWA for terrorism allegation are waiting for to stop giving aid to Israel over those rape allegations?

Only against women and girls, sexual violence against men and boys they do not want to address. But maybe they shouldn't be so suspicious, maybe there isn't a single case or fear that it could happen.
That must be it. The same people who raised the alarm that women are the main victims in ukraine and put the spotlight on sexual violence against women, using the same reports that said ukrainian men suffered it twice as much, can't be sexist manipulators.

But anyway, at least they seem to care about half the population...too bad they did nothing until now when those same women were being bombed indiscriminately.

“Many have reportedly been subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment, denied menstruation pads, food and medicine, and severely beaten,” they said. “On at least one occasion, Palestinian women detained in Gaza were allegedly kept in a cage in the rain and cold, without food.”

Where are my posters from three months ago at?

    This place is really becoming part of the Palestinian propaganda machine.

    Wow, I wasnt wrong.

    Criticizing Israel for the Genocide it is currently doing is one thing. Relating this criticism to a Palestinian propaganda machine is another. Do you by any chance have any link -that is not related to zionist sources or wiki- to support your claim?

    I suppose next you’ll want links and proof that the Holocaust actually happened?

    You wrongly suppose so.

    BMatthew,

    Of course the holocaust happened. So did slavery in the US, genocide of Armenians and several others, and Apartheid in South Africa. Those do not mean that Apartheid and Genocide are not happening now in Palestine. All are true. There are Jewish only roads and cities, there is a political group called Jewish power, and the current government is well right of Trump. This is not normal or ok.

    That’s funny because the article I linked debunks all the fake rape claims that israel made. Try clicking it.

    Mrkawfee,

    Everything Israel says is a lie.

    Mrkawfee,

    It’s also the general consensus amongst people who aren’t Hasbara trolls or Zionist shills.

    Without the UN Israel wouldn’t exist, but yes, fuck them. Perhaps you should learn some history instead.

    “Those Who Do Not Learn History Are Doomed To Repeat It.”

    Siegfried,

    I forgot the part when a crime against humanity justifies another one.
