Well, it’s only taken them six months, but the corrupt, anti-Semitic UN has almost told the truth they desperately wanted to avoid: their beloved “Palestinians” are rapist savages. Of course, the UN is so corrupted that they can’t come right out and admit it. Instead, they copy the mainstream media gambit of hiding behind circumlocutions like, “reasonable grounds”, and “may be indicative”.
This is the same organisation, remember, which not only repeats obvious Hamas lies without question, but whose own employees are guilty of the worst atrocities.
The UN envoy focusing on sexual violence in conflict has said in a new report that there are “reasonable grounds” to believe Hamas committed rape, “sexualised torture,” and other cruel and inhumane treatment of women during its surprise attack in southern Israel on October 7.
There are also “reasonable grounds to believe that such violence may be ongoing,” said Pramila Patten, who visited Israel and the West Bank from January 29 to February 14 with a nine-member team.
In other words, Hamas is raping and torturing the dozens of women still in its clutches. Which we already knew from the reports of freed hostages. But, like most of the mainstream media, the UN is resolutely sticking its fingers in its ears and chanting, “la la la la…”
In the report, she said the team “found clear and convincing information” that some hostages have been subjected to the same forms of conflict-related sexual violence including rape and “sexualised torture”.
Patten’s report said the team’s visit “was neither intended nor mandated to be investigative in nature”.
She said the team was not able to meet with any victims of sexual violence “despite concerted efforts to encourage them to come forward”. However, team members held 33 meetings with Israeli institutions and conducted interview with 34 people including survivors and witnesses of the October 7 attacks, released hostages, health providers and others.
Did they ask the hundreds of UN employees who are members of Hamas? Including the UN staff who directly participated in October 7?
Based on the information it gathered, Patten said, “there are reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual violence occurred during the 7 October attacks in multiple locations across Gaza periphery, including rape and gang rape, in at least three locations”.
Across various locations, she said, the team found “that several fully naked or partially naked bodies from the waist down were recovered – mostly women – with hands tied and shot multiple times, often in the head”.
While this is circumstantial, she said the pattern of undressing and restraining victims “may be indicative of some forms of sexual violence”.
And a bullet hole in the head may be indicative of being shot. How desperate are these people to fudge the obvious?
At the Nova music festival and its surroundings, Patten said, “there are reasonable grounds to believe that multiple incidents of sexual violence took place with victims being subjected to rape and/or gang rape and then killed or killed while being raped”.
She said credible sources described finding murdered victims, mostly women, naked from the waist down, many shot in the head.
On Road 232 – the road to leave the festival – “credible information based on witness accounts describe an incident of the rape of two women by armed elements,” Patten said. Other reported rapes couldn’t be verified during their time in Israel.
But she said “the mission team also found a pattern of bound naked or partially naked bodies from the waist down, in some cases tied to structures including trees and poles, along Road 232.”
Just circumstantial, I’m sure. It’s a wonder they didn’t accuse the victims of tying themselves there.
Patten said that in kibbutz Reim, the mission team verified the rape of a woman outside a bomb shelter and heard of other allegations of rape that could not yet be verified […]
These included a highly publicised allegation that a pregnant woman’s womb was reportedly ripped open before being killed with her fetus stabbed inside her, Patten said.

Just ignore the autopsy reports and the ghastly photos provided by the coroners.
But that’s the way it goes: every Hamas lie, from the “hospital shelling”, to “30,000 civilians dead”, to “100s shot at aid truck”, is breathlessly trumpeted without question. Everything Israel backs up with eyewitness and forensic evidence is treated to the deepest scepticism.
Goebbels would be proud.
