That was my exact thought. I wonder how long they’d been doing this prior to October 7.

And even further back, the systematic use of rape by Zionist militias throughout the course of the 1948 war as an instrument of ethnic cleansing and dispossession led to the displacement of around 750,000 indigenous Palestinians to make room for the nascent Jewish state. Palestinian women, who are entitled to “birth the nation,” to borrow from Rhoda Kanaaneh, have been particularly targeted by this eliminationist Zionist practice, as a way of disposing of an undesirable population.

They have always been doing this, since the founding of their country.

Okay, but I think we can all agree that the Israeli rape machine still has a right to exist.

No wonder the (supposedly) "de-nazified" West German state rushed to help Israel...

There were many many reports of rapes and sexual abuse of detainees going back before the second intifada but increased in number since then. The IDF always brushed off press questions saying they’re lying but they’ll “investigate.”

I suspected as much. This kind of thing doesn’t materialize from nowhere.
