Hamas used sexual violence as part of ‘genocidal strategy’

1. Not excusing literal terrorists, but we ought to be more appalled that an actually organized military from a supposedly civilized nation is no better.

   >In a statement accompanying the release of the Commission’s report, it asserted that “forced public stripping and nudity, sexual harassment including threats of rape, as well as sexual assault” were “standard operating procedure” of the Israeli Security Forces toward Palestinians.

   “Other forms of sexual and gender-based violence, including rape and violence to the genitals, were committed either under explicit orders or with implicit encouragement by Israel’s top civilian and military leadership,” the report maintained.”

   And here is a report on the usage of **systemic rape** as a tool of war: [https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies/hrcouncil/sessions-regular/session58/a-hrc-58-crp-6.pdf](https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies/hrcouncil/sessions-regular/session58/a-hrc-58-crp-6.pdf)

   This genocide is a race to the bottom by all sides fighting part in it (except for the civilians caught in the crossfire, of course), maybe we ought to come together, say that enough is enough, and deploy UN troops on the ground to finally deal with Hamas, and disband Israel in the process. It’s awful that we allow such barbarism, much worse that we pretend one side (which should be held to an even higher standard) is somehow permitted to be tolerated.
