(Spiked-UK) Brendan O'Neill - The UN Human Rights Council's latest report is a breathless account of all the "gender-based violence" Israel has apparently visited on Gaza since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. It's hogwash. This is without question one of the most dishonest official documents I have ever read. Those in the media who covered the story should have read the report. They'd have discovered that many of the things referred to as "sexual humiliation" and "gender-based violence" are in fact normal wartime events, common to virtually every conflict in history. There's a whole chapter on "sexual violence against men and boys." It sounds awful, until you realize that included within this definition are such run-of-the-mill activities as searching fighting-age males for weapons. The IDF, conscious that suicide bombings are a favored military tactic of Hamas, sometimes requires arrested men to undress to their underwear. The report refers to this as "forced public stripping." Making fighting-age men remove their outer clothing is not "sexual violence," you loons - it's a means for the IDF to search for suicide belts. The report describes the IDF's very separation of young men from the rest of the population as "gender persecution." You heard that right: to isolate fighting-age men for interrogation is oppression on the basis of maleness. To depict the IDF's sparing of women from the pressures of wartime interrogation as "gender persecution" of men is doublethink taken to dizzying new heights. When the report moves from "men and boys" to "women and girls," it lists one of the key examples of "acts of sexual violence" against women as "the removal of the veil." Can we get real here? It is sometimes necessary in warzones to check people's identities. At one point Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar had disguised himself as a woman. Listen, UN - it is not a crime for Jews to defend themselves against an army of antisemites that wants to kill them all. 2025-03-18 00:00:00Full Article
