Israel’s leadership is pushing the allegations that Hamas fighters raped Israeli women during the October 7 attacks for its own political objectives while the government’s ongoing refusal to allow the United Nations to conduct a full investigation into the matter threatens to hinder any evidence, advocates have warned.

    I am saying that nobody rapes during combat in the middle of a firefight. Being in mortal danger is not a huge turn on.

    The rape if it happens, happens after a victim is extracted to a safe location or an area is fully captured.

    Same for the rapes that happened in Ukraine. There were no rapes during combat that happens after all combat is over.

      It’s telling that you think a multi-day combat operation over a geographically dispersed area is just one very long firefight.

      It sounds like you’re basing this off a mixture of movies, television, and your gut.

        I think they are basing it off the conclusion that they have already decided that they want to reach

        There were some stragglers playing hide and seek but the operation was mostly over the second the IDF copters shows up which was within 24 hours.

        The “witness allegations” which turned out to be untrue were during the main raid including the festival. The UN report allegations also pertain to the festival. These were the earliest hours.

        The only one basing things off their gut is people claiming they have evidence of rape which they clearly don’t have.

          The UN report allegations also pertain to the festival.

          Quick question, since you’re clearly familiar with the report: Section III©1 is divided into 6 different subsections, of which the first is the festival and surrounding areas. What are the other 5 subsections?

          I can start to give some hints if you have trouble answering this question. There’s also III©2 and 3 but I already asked some questions about III©2.

          (That was another hint, a big one, to one of my earlier questions you still seem to be having some trouble with.)

          So, you don’t feel like checking III©1 to verify your claim that the UN report pertains only to the festival? I am trying to make it easy for you to learn how to check your claims against sources, but you do not seem eager to develop your skills in this area.
