🇵🇸 Why Israeli Soldiers Rape | Ramzy Baroud for MintPress
Historically, Israel has carried out #massacres with a specific political strategy in mind: to instill the desired fear to drive Palestinians off their land. Deir Yassin, Tantura and the over 70 documented massacres during the Palestinian #Nakba, or Catastrophe, are cases in point.
Israel has also utilized torture, rape and other forms of sexual assault to achieve similar ends in the past, to exact information or to break down the will of prisoners.
UN-affiliated experts said in a report published on August 5 that “these practices are intended to punish Palestinians for resisting #occupation and seek to destroy them individually and collectively.”
In a report entitled ‘Welcome to Hell,’ published on August 5, the Israeli rights group, #Btselem, said that Israel’s detention “facilities, in which every inmate is deliberately subjected to harsh, relentless pain and suffering, operate as de-facto #TortureCamps.”
