"Those responsible for these apparent crimes must be held accountable and victims and their families are entitled to full redress and justice."

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.”

    “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.”

            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?

                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.

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