Practices recorded by UNRWA include the use of a nail gun on prisoners’ knees, sexual abuse against both men and women and the insertion of what appears to be an electrified metal stick into prisoners’ rectums.

      Nobody with any credibility will defend these actions if they are true.

      Personally, I do not find an “unpublished report” of nameless and dateless “accounts” from UNRWA, an agency that is Gaza’s largest employer–a significant number of whose employees and managers are supporters and accomplices to Hamas’s continued power in Gaza as a matter of basic math–to be very credible. Especially when it comes to such outrageous, unbelievable, claims.

      And for me it’s doubly true when the coverage of the report (of the accounts) is from Qatari state media, funded by mega donors to Islamist nationalist movements. Notice how it cites to itself as verification of the report. Absolutely zero of the accounts have been independently verified, and if someone chimes in below with a link to other coverage, they will likely at least have the decency to say conspicuously that the accounts are unverified.

      Fuck me for not believing it, right Hamas fans? It’s not like Hamas and it’s supporters would ever lie or exaggerate to perpetuate its own overt violations of international law as a part of a formal tactic known as lawfare! 🤡

      What exactly does one call the coverage of a report of accounts, fourth hand information? Fifth?

      Needless to say, if any of the accounts are found to be true, or to have been witnessed by other Israeli soldiers who failed to intervene, I have some hope that the perpetrators will be tried and convicted of their crimes. As opposed to in Gaza, where confessed perpetrators of overt war crimes get prizes.

        All of the mainstream media outlets have published articles on the UNWRA report. This is just the most recent coverage.

        There always has to be one IDF troll.

        https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/02/israelopt-un-experts-appalled-reported-human-rights-violations-against

        GENEVA (19 February 2024) – UN experts today expressed alarm over credible allegations of egregious human rights violations to which Palestinian women and girls continue to be subjected in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

        But to you, the entire rest of the world is magically in Hamas’ pocket because they call you out on this asinine bullshit.

        Guess Israel is a better judge of weather Israel is committing warcrimes than the UN would be right? Like asking Trump if he’s guilty of anything.

        Bombing women and children and you’re proud of it or so weakwilled you’ve bought into the propaganda saying that shooting the kids is fine, because they’re probably Hamas anyway.

        Israel is a piece of shit fascist theocracy, and currently killing and raping innocents, and defending them is morally indefensible and will be seen mostly the same as WWII era Germans who didn’t oppose the holocaust.
