Wow be sure to send that video you watched to the IDF because nobody has been able to find any evidence of rape happening by Hamas. They will be very happy with your contribution.
Are you saying that nothing happened on the 7th of October?
Justified resistance against violent genocidal occupation happened on october 7. And zero rape.
October 7 involved the deliberate killing and kidnapping of civilians. That is not “resistance” under international law.
Under Geneva Convention (ironically) IV: • Article 27 prohibits rape and sexual violence. • Article 32 prohibits murder of protected civilians. • Article 34 prohibits hostage-taking.
Multiple independent investigations have documented sexual violence. Denying it does not make it disappear.
Zero independent investigations have taken place because Israel has blocked them all. Because all rape accusations have been proven baseless lies.
Taking prisoners of war is extremely legal. The POWs should have considered not living on military bases literally created as a shield to surpress concentration camp breakouts.
Yeah, ok, no. We’re not disagreeing on interpretation. You’re rejecting documented facts and redefining terms to make them fit your position.
"documented"
Which documented facts? Can you cite a single one please?
