Palestine
A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
The Israeli authorities didn't let the researchers talk to any of the alleged victims personally so, yeah, there's that.
Israeli state: "These people have been raped and coerced by Hamas!" Investigators: "can we talk to them directly?" Israeli stats: "no."
Do you have any source for this. I don't doubt it but I need to debunk this crap that I don't believe is true.
I'll look for it. I saw it in a newsarticle from my country's region, which is pro-western, anti-israel.in theory but sending weapons nonetheless in practice kind of country.

Ok so this is the full link (in Dutch).
The last sentence of this screenshot literally translates to: researchers spoke to Israeli institutions but were not able to speak to victims directly.
