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
The sexual violence experienced by Palestinian prisoners charged with no crime and held indefinitely in Israeli prisons? The babies who were left to die as the IDF forced doctors to leave?
Well, that’s just business as usual. No reason to investigate that. The UN is fucking worthless.
Hamas is clearly in the wrong here, but I agree that the Israeli government has also committed atrocities against Palestinians.
The UN is indeed nearly worthless, but not for lack of the investigations they conduct (or intend to conduct at least).
Go go whataboutism!
