A team of United Nations experts tasked with gathering information on sexual violence linked to Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks on Israel found “reasonable grounds to believe” that some victims were sexually assaulted, including rape and gang rape, according to a U.N. report released Monday.
“In most of these incidents, victims first subjected to rape were then killed,” a press release announcing the report’s findings said. “The mission team also found a pattern of victims, mostly women, found fully or partially naked, bound, and shot across multiple locations.”
The 23-page report said the team also found “clear and convincing information” that some of the women and children taken back to Gaza that day by Hamas as hostages were subjected to “rape and sexualized torture and sexualized cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.” There were “reasonable grounds to believe,” it said, “that this violence may be ongoing.”
This is a report about information gathered from Israeli sources, including the IDF.
Who did you expect to come forward? Rapists?
Victims or evidence, perhaps?
Are you really pretending you don’t see the bias in trying to use UN as a source of information that’s actually just second hand zionist bullshit.
That is not to say Hamas is innocent of rape and torture,
The point being that this is clearly Israeli PR, so they can try loaning the UN’s credibility and pretend like hostages getting raped excuses the genocide they’re doing on Palestinians (Palestine=//=Hamas).
You can find accusations of rape on both sides, ofc.
Israel/oPt: UN experts appalled by reported human rights violations against Palestinian women and girls
And if we’re going by what the UN says, the UN is also of the mind Israel is committing war crimes and is mandated by the ICJ to take actions against the genocide and to condemn and punish any genocidal rhetoric. (Such as“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” said by the Israeli “defense” minister.)

This is a report from a UN team that flew to Israel and made a comprehensive assessment of all the evidence. I’ll also state the obvious, the UN team would can’t interview dead victims of rape.
If you’re going to post that kind of nonsensical statement, at least read the executive summary of the report.
Inability to distinguish facts from nonsensical statements, check.
