A new report compiled by AF3IRM Hawaii details a pattern of rape, abuse, trafficking, and sexual violence against Palestinian women and men. The report cites multiple press sources and firsthand accounts from Palestinian prisoners. Below are excerpts from the report. We encourage our readers to view the full report here:
- Liberated prisoner Israa Ja'abis said upon her release: "I left little girls in my prison cell crying. Why? Because unspeakable things are happening to them there... Unimaginable things on the hands of the [IOF] soldiers." Similarly, liberated prisoner Lama Khater described how she was blindfolded and threatened with rape as a form of intimidation against her.
- A Palestinian female freed from the occupation's prisons attested that over 15 Palestinian women were sexually assaulted by occupation forces who sought to force a confession to crimes out of the women. The zionist forces recorded these incidents on video, and use them to blackmail women following their release from prison.
- Sexual abuse towards Palestinians is not limited to female prisoners. Colonial authorities often force Palestinian men and boys to remove their clothing before photographing and abusing them further. Liberated prisoner Ramzi Al-Abbasi attested to this, saying "The situation in the prison is devastating. The prisoners are abused. They are constantly beaten. They are being sexually assaulted. They are being raped."
- The culture of sexual abuse is pervasive across all levels of the zionist entity, with a chief rabbi insisting that it is permissible by Jewish law to rape "Gentile" women. The zionist entity itself is a safe haven for pedophiles and other sex offenders, with over 60 US citizens taking advantage of the zionist "law of return" to flee sex crime charges leveled against them.
- Sex trafficking is an elevated threat for Palestinians, with research showing that such cases are most likely underreported due to threats rooted in the occupation's presence in Palestine. Sex trafficking is one dimension of the forced labor that Palestinian children endure at the hands of zionist settlers.
