Finally. This is a major step in the right direction. Hopefully this will be enough to wake people up to the fact that this isn’t something we can just ignore
Will the UN demand accountability from itself, for financing the [education](https://vimeo.com/856467890) and indoctrination to hate of the terrorists who committed the sexual torture on Israeli women during Oct 7?
Man this was the first time I ever saw reddit en masse shifting from believing women and calling for accountability, to outright denial and demanding 4k footage of snuff videos.
Very sad. Hopefully this is the first step to getting these stories out there for the world to see what happened.
Took them long enough.
A U.N. commission of inquiry investigating war crimes on both sides of the Israel-Hamas conflict will focus on sexual violence by Hamas in the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel and is about to launch an appeal for evidence, its chair told Reuters on Wednesday.
Chair Navi Pillay on Wednesday said she would pass the evidence onto the International Criminal Court and called for it to consider prosecutions amid earlier criticism from Israel and families of Israeli hostages that the U.N. had kept quiet.
“I’m now sitting as chair of a commission with the power to investigate this. So there’s no way we will not do so,” said Pillay, chair of the three-member commission of inquiry into abuses committed in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. Already, she said some people are keen to provide testimonies and that these would be handed over to prosecutors.
However, a major challenge for Pillay is that Israel has not cooperated with the commission, which it says has an anti-Israel bias. The commission could struggle to gather sufficient evidence to support future charges if access is not granted.
Hamas has denied the abuses and was not available for comment. Israel’s diplomatic mission in Geneva said on Thursday the commission had “pre-existing biased prejudices against Israel”.
“Since the establishment of the COI (Commission of Inquiry) in 2021, Israel has made it clear: it will not cooperate with this discriminatory body and its Commissioners,” Israel’s permanent mission to the U.N. in Geneva said in a statement to Reuters on Thursday.
The UN General Assembly has voted against condemning Hamas for the Oct 7th attack.
It took UN Women 2 months to decide mass raping Jews was bad (they were literally tweeting about manspreading in NYC, which they felt was more pressing).
The UN Secretary General felt the need to explain that Hamas didn’t mass rape Jews “in a vacuum”
UN Teachers literally held Jews hostage for Hamas.
UNRWA kids are on film saying their UN teachers tell them to hate Jews.
There is no damage control sufficient to save this.
Defund the UN
Don’t worry UN. Israel is on the job.
“experts”
There won’t be any. There never is.
When will the UN demand accountability from UNRWA for spreading Hamas propaganda in their schools, financing Hamas and helping Hamas hide hostages?
what happened, they finally got through their laundry list of excuses to do literally anything else?
Every time i hear more news about how brutally incompetent the UN is, it strengthens my belief that we live in a southpark episode
UN freaking out because if Trump gets elected this year they’re going to lose 30% of its budget.
They might have to find real jobs
Sick, like they didn’t only rape women…
There must be a mirror at one of the bathrooms at the UN
Thank you to the nytimes investigation
The UN have been corrupted by the Arab world, Russia and China for decades, while the EU/West have been a sleep.
Did the UN hit its head or something? Finally doing their job.
its a good step, but its so overdue.. hamas posted one of it’s psychological warfare videos a few days ago with 4 female hostages, they looked physically beaten and worn down and one can only hope they havent endured any sexual assault, but the way their eyes looked empty says they been through hell.
They’re going to write HAMAS an angry letter.
Hamas is and was insanely brutal. I believe they did horrible things But Hamas is not the Palestinian people. Most normal people who support the Palestinian protests are protesting brutality. There are dead kids on both sides. It’s terrible. Torture is evil killing kids is evil. You don’t need to weigh one evil against another. It’s all terrible.
I see why Israel is in vengeance mode, but at what cost and is it going to solve anything, or will it perpetuate the war?
About time!
When I mentioned the Oct 7th attacks , specifcally the rapes and sexual vilolence in another topic on a Canadian Political sub, several reddit tankies replied insisting it didn’t happen or was debunked.
The Oct 7th denial is real
the UN is a joke. This is nothing but saving face
Waiting for Pro-Palestine rallies now to denounce this and distance themselves from Hamas. If they don’t already secretly support Hamas that is…
What does accountability even mean, here? It’s Hamas! They’re not going to hold themselves accountable. Are they expecting those who fund Hamas (e.g. Iran) to hold them accountable? Probably not!
So, to me this just seems like an empty statement from the UN. They’re happy to critique and condemn Israel, which hurts it politically, but these same statements are fewer and far less effective against Hamas.
It is so disproportionate
“UN experts demand accountability…” – Yeah, well, Israel started taking care of that 3mths ago & the whole world has shit on them. Oh, & the 2nd in Command of the UN *also* stated that the attacks on Israel (which obviously include the rapes) “…didn’t happen in a vacuum…”, so maybe deal with THAT too…? 🤷🏽♂️
Wont their diety handle them for raping folks as a sin?
Expect a short report, if the request is even acknowledged, blaming Isreal, never happened, don’t know what you’re talking about.
Almost can’t believe my eyes. Mostly what I have seen is denial of our identity and humanity. Is this real?
Israel’s current campaign is holding these rats accountable
From the IDF, I assume? They’re still in denial if the SecGen is saying 10/7 rapes “didn’t happen in a vacuum”
#metoounlessyoureajew
Expect the outcome to be in line with “well if the Israelis didn’t wear such revealing clothing this would never have happened”.
The UN will probably put the UNRWA in charge of the investigation.
Am I the only person that believes that choping off children’s limbs, executing a dad in front of his sons, cutting a man’s penis off and force feed it to him while streaming it on his social media for his family to see, are examples of 10-7 actions that arguably deserve more outrage that the rapes?
I don’t want to minimize the experience of any of the victims, but pro hamas people are getting away with pretending that rape was “the worst that allegedly happened”.
Don’t let the torture/mutilation/murder cases be pushed away from the spotlight.
