In reply to the discussion: Israeli soldiers play with Gaza women's underwear in online posts [View all]Beastly Boy
(9,584 posts)3. The juxtaposition of a couple of Israeli soldiers playing with womens' underwear and
a group of armed Hamas terrorists abducting a woman in the context of the accusations (which are, BTW, being investigated by IDF) leveled in the story, is obscene to the extreme.
Here is an excerpt from Article 27 of the Fourth Geneva Convention that the so-called "experts" referred to in the video claim to have been breached by the IDF soldiers:
ART. 27. Protected persons are entitled, in all circumstances, to
respect for their persons, their honour, their family rights, their
religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs.
They shall at all times be humanely treated, and shall be protected
especially against all acts of violence or threats thereof and against
insults and public curiosity.
Women shall be especially protected against any attack on their
honour, in particular against rape, enforced prostitution, or any
form of indecent assault.
respect for their persons, their honour, their family rights, their
religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs.

Women shall be especially protected against any attack on their

It takes a special kind of determined idiocy to invoke this Article against Israeli soldiers shown with inanimate objects , while the same Article is not being invoked against armed terrorists being shown abducting a real woman.
WTF is wrong with those "journalists"?

I was hoping for a surprise. A deflection measured in parsecs is not what I had in mind.

That's what I mean. No matter what the subject, there is only one reply you can muster.

And then the underwear somehow morphed into somebody's dead mother's underwear...

Yet the raping that Hamas does to actual living women and hostages crickets.
