Male and female Palestinians describe brutal sexual abuse at the hands of Israel’s prison guards, soldiers, settlers and interrogators.
Opinion - Nicholas Kristof May 11, 2026
[gift article]There is no evidence that Israeli leaders order rapes. But in recent years they have built a security apparatus where sexual violence has become, as a United Nations report put it last year, one of Israel’s “standard operating procedures” and “a major element in the ill treatment of Palestinians.” A report out last month, from the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, a Geneva-based advocacy group often critical of Israel, concludes that Israel employs “systematic sexual violence” that is “widely practiced as part of an organized state policy.”

Using dogs to rape prisoners - may the entire country burn in hell for their crimes. Gross fucking Nazi scum.
Sometimes the silence is just lack of any more words. Like someone said in the last time the topic was raised here, “I am tired boss. I am tired.”
These are the people that think dumping money into pr is going to clean up their image. This kind of blood doesn’t wash off.
My heart. These people are experiencing hell on earth while state leaders look away and the rest of us play with our Steam Decks.
Rape is SO BAD and TERRIBLE! We should NEVER Be Raping ANYBODY! Wait ISRAEL is doing it? STOP being so ANTI SEMETIC with your RAPE IS BAD Rhetoric!
-Anybody who Supports Israel!
The silence, or the outrage that is drowned out by the distraction in Iran?
Iran gives weapons to resistance groups to fight occupation and colonization. How is the war a distraction?
Fucking disgusting sycophants
I appreciate the article, I guess, but the NYT comments are depressing. 'Thank you for bringing the this issue to light." Seriously? Israel’s use of rape as punishment is nigh universally known. Israel literally just had mass protests in defense of the right to rape Palestinians prisoners–something the article dutifly mentions–and people are pretending like this is some recently revealed shock?
