Israel seeks recognition of Hamas sexual violence at UN meeting

[Almost Heaven]

Israel held a meeting at the UN in Geneva late on Monday to raise awareness of sexual violence against women perpetrated during Hamas' October 7 attacks amid criticism that the global body has kept quiet about the issue.

Israeli authorities have opened an investigation into sexual violence during the most deadly attack on Israel in its history, including rape, after evidence emerged pointing to sexual crimes, such as victims found disrobed and mutilated.

Hamas denies the abuses.

UN rights bodies "downplayed" and "minimized" the sexual violence, said Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, an Associate Professor at the Bar-Ilan University, who spoke at the event.

Sadly, in general, the world looks away.
A few braves step up, but they are mostly ignored.

Now that I know the UN is on it, nothing will be done but lip service.

Of course they do. What else would you expect from pathological liars? For them lying is an acceptable, even laudable, tactic for the furtherance of their religion. But again, what would you expect from something spawned by the Father of Lies?
