[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read the posts. I believe what is happening in Gaza is a genocide. I believe the IDF have committed horrific atrocities. I also believe Oct 7 was mass murder by Hamas. I’m pretty certain Hamas also has committed brutal crimes against prisoners. Why can’t both sides acknowledge that each are guilty of awful, awful things, including (sadly) rape? [/quote]

[b]Because every released hostage by Hamas has said they were treated well.[/b] [/quote]

Well, that's absolute bull$hit.  As usual.  Amazing how much time you spend lying.

Researchers reviewed and analyzed more than 10,000 photographs and video segments, amounting to more than 1,800 hours of footage, alongside more than[b] 430 testimonies from survivors, witnesses, released hostages, experts and family members.

They identified 13 recurring patterns of sexual and gender-based violence across Oct. 7 attack sites, abductions and captivity, including rape, gang rape and other forms of sexual assault, sexual torture, forced nudity, threats of forced marriages, postmortem abuse, the public display of victims and the filming and dissemination of sexualized violence.

The evidence “proves that it wasn’t isolated violence, it wasn’t random,” Elkayam-Levy said. “It was a strategy, carried out with exceptional cruelty on victims and on hostages in captivity.”

The report devotes specific attention to sexual violence against men and boys, documenting rape, sexual torture, mutilation and sexualized humiliation that the authors say has often been overlooked in public discussion of Oct. 7.

The report includes testimonies that have already surfaced, such as from Amit Soussana and Keith Siegel, two former hostages who said they had been sexually assaulted by their captors.

But it also includes accounts that had not previously been made public, including cases of sexual violence inflicted in the presence or near vicinity of family members. In at least one case the researchers documented, family members held hostage together were forced to perform sexual acts on one another, an example of what the commission characterizes as “kinocidal” sexual violence, meaning violence aimed at destroying family structures by exploiting familial bonds.

[b]“It is precisely because of that early chaos, and the widespread denial, that this report was prepared under the strictest international verification standards, with every testimony and piece of evidence carefully cross-checked and corroborated,” she said.

Elkayam-Levy said the backlash she personally experienced was “very scary,” with threats to her life and antisemitic groups circulating her image alongside accusations that she was “lying about Hamas.”
