IDF Brig.-Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi: A US State Department official claimed that Israel "systematically" sexually abuses Palestinian women.

IDF Brig.-Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi met with the holder of the Israeli-Palestinian portfolio at the US State Department, who accused Israel of “systematically” sexually abusing Palestinian woman, the general explained in an interview on 103FM.

Is it the official US position that IDF soldiers rape Palestinian women?

"When we meet with a State Department official holding the Israeli-Palestinian portfolio, every word she utters, as far as I’m concerned, is an official US position. Ultimately, she is a government official. When she says, for example, ‘You did not provide evidence that Hamas is stealing humanitarian aid and you are starving the population,’ what is she talking about? The IDF spokesperson shows [proof] every other day that Hamas is stealing food.

    Expanding on that “where there’s smoke there’s fire” idea, there are those awful videos of soldiers relishing in the mistreatment of Palestinians too, and running over houses with people inside.

    Together with the leadership calling Palestinians animals etc kinda precludes one from giving the IDF the benefit of the doubt.
