Following weeks of silence by women’s organizations and international bodies, UN secretary-general says issue needs to be ‘vigorously investigated’; Israel’s UN envoy: ‘When it comes to Israeli women, sexual violence that has been proven and determined by state authorities still needs to be investigated’

Against the backdrop of widespread anger in Israel over the silence of women’s organizations and international bodies regarding the severe sexual violence used by Hamas terrorists against women in the attack on October 7, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced Thursday that these actions must be thoroughly investigated.

“There are numerous accounts of sexual violence during the abhorrent acts of terror by Hamas on 7 October that must be vigorously investigated and prosecuted,” Guterres wrote on the X platform

    They’re already defending the self defense mass arrests with no charges, the self defense tear gassing of people praying in mosques, the self defense punishing Palestinians for killing a lunatic who killed 20 of them while they were praying, and many other products of self defense™.

    I haven’t even gotten to the acts that are getting excused by the 7th of October attack. So yes; I wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up tomorrow and found the self defense rapes looking me in the face.

      Dude, I just don’t understand. For every action there is a reaction, right? You have a solution how to separate wolves from the sheep? Go ahead and pitch it. Otherwise, stop spreading this whataboutism. There was a terrorist attack. It cannot be dismissed. The responsible for it must be punished. You must blame the terrorists for what is happening to the people in Gaza.

      Research the Russian invasion of Ukraine. You either don’t understand, or you are paid to spread what you say.
