Israel has been added to a UN blacklist of countries that commit sexual violence in warzones for the first time

A report by the office of Secretary General Antรณnio Guterres said the UN had last year verified 31 cases of sexual violence perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank. It said 13 of the cases had occurred in 2025, and 18 in the two years prior"

www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx21le869n1o

"The report said the cases the UN had verified were carried out against 14 men, seven women, nine boys and one girl. The violations included rape, gang rape, forced nudity, and violence to genitals committed by officers from the Israeli military, police and prison service"

AGAA4 surely all Israeli deserve better than Hamas campaigning they will kill all Jews

Yes Annie Israel don't deserve Hamas either.

Maremia Mon 01-Jun-26 11:09:17

Yes, still being discussed.
Various angles.

Maremia Mon 01-Jun-26 11:04:38

Who funded Hamas, when it suited him?
Clue: a well know Israeli leader.

They do deserve better.

AGAA4 Mon 01-Jun-26 10:09:07

Thank you Wyllow3 for posting all that information.
I just want to see a more moderate government in Israel. The Netanyahu regime has given Israel a bad name and most Israeli people deserve better.

Maremia Mon 01-Jun-26 09:51:54

Gosh, that is one complex list of topics.

Wyllow3 Mon 01-Jun-26 09:05:53

I recommend so strongly that posters who are interested google the "Guardian" angle news coming-out of Israel itself online newspaper Haaretz, and subscribe (free with adverts)

Each day I get an email and the articles are full of information on the detail of what we discuss here. Some are straightforward information, some are opinion.

for example, an email I have just got covers:

See what I mean? Do forgive if I don't pull one out, I am too tired: but I think you get the picture, which we'll not get from MSM as it can cover the detail,

but if you follow it reasonably regularly, you get an insider picture.

The IDF is marching through Lebanon now killing 3,300 people. The UK and other European countries have condemned this escalation and the displacing of many Lebanese people. They have called for Hezbollah to disarm.
These are the same tactics Israel used in Gaza. How many more people will be killed?

Maremia Sun 31-May-26 22:08:42

Not anymore.

Maremia Sun 31-May-26 22:08:23

The IDF used to claim to be the most moral army in the world.

Maremia Sun 31-May-26 15:01:40

And that is one way to do it.

Great story, Shel1951. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Wyllow3 Sun 31-May-26 13:44:10

Now that's a bit of history I didnt know.

terror group not tenor group.

Wyllow3 Sun 31-May-26 12:49:26

Grantanow what actions can they take legally against a tenor group? Have you googled as I suggested? Very, very, strong words were spoken at the time and this remains the case. But you cannot take a terroirst group to court.

The UN's legal part is to regulate the behaviour that Nations, signatories to the UN, through a criminal court

We also need to remember that UNICEF part of the UN is actually the main support of food and other aid entering Gaza, and other parts of the world, please.

Maremia Sun 31-May-26 12:46:07

Also, Grantanow, why should the Gaza Palestinians be prescribed?
By that premise, do you blame the ordinary people of Israel for Netanyahu's Gaza genocide?
I don't.
Netanyahu is responsible for that. And the IDF.

Maremia Sun 31-May-26 12:41:55

Not wishing to put words, or thoughts, into other GN's mouths, but are some folk implying that the atrocities committed by Hamas excuse the ongoing atrocities committed by the IDF?

Eloethan Sun 31-May-26 12:03:49

How anyone can justify this beats me. But then the world has looked away at the genocide that occurred in Gaza - and continues to look away at ongoing acts of violence.

Grantanow Sun 31-May-26 09:22:28

Wyllow3

You need to google what I just did,

"Did the UN condemn Hamas for the 7th October"

Its a complex response as they aren't a Nation as such, they are a terrorist group now so ICC procedures aren't applicable in the same way, but yes, lots of condemnation from the top over a lengthy time.

So lots of words and no action.

Wyllow3 Sun 31-May-26 09:15:46

Two wrongs don't make a right:

We are also not specifically discussing that event on this thread, were are discussing what is ongoing by IDF soldiers and in prisons right now to bring it into the light.
