Doesn't surprise me in the least, MarineCombatEngineer Apr 23 #1

Assuming there was evidence against Hamas, does not stand the UN in high esteeme. dutch777 Apr 23 #2

"Assuming there was evidence?" question everything Apr 23 #7

You realize that Hamas recorded the gang rapes, tortures, and mcar Apr 23 #11

Yep 100% Dorian Gray Apr 24 #23

Both Hamas and Israel should be on the blacklist Celerity Apr 23 #6

You mean this Reem Alsalem? MarineCombatEngineer Apr 23 #10

Oh, and she also said this: MarineCombatEngineer Apr 23 #13

She is far from the only one levelling these charges. A special US State Department panel recommended months ago Celerity Apr 23 #14

While these may have happened, they are far and few between, not excusing their behavior, MarineCombatEngineer Apr 23 #15

As I said, Hamas should be on the list. I hope that the decision to not include them is reversed. Celerity Apr 23 #16

Yes you did and I commend you for that, MarineCombatEngineer Apr 23 #17

Weaponization is exactly the question. But by whom? AloeVera Apr 24 #41

A good question to ask the rape victims. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #43

There is no evidence except circumstantial. AloeVera Apr 24 #44

I typed a long response too. AloeVera Apr 24 #48

If you are correct the chasm is too wide sarisataka Apr 24 #49

No, that's not correct at all. AloeVera Apr 24 #52

Agreed, sarisataka Apr 24 #53

You beat me to it. AloeVera Apr 24 #56

Are the testimonies of women gang raped by Hamas during the invasion and in captivity Beastly Boy Apr 24 #46

There are no testimonies from women who were raped on Oct 7. AloeVera Apr 24 #47

Believe the women. Including those who are too dead or too captive to give testimony. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #58

Plus ca change... AloeVera Apr 24 #59

Not so quick. At least one of my links includes the testimony of a live victim. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #60

You are manipulating facts and putting words in my mouth. AloeVera Apr 25 #64

Yes ignore the video eviddence Hamas members posted ripcord Apr 24 #50

No such videos were presented to the UN Mission Team AloeVera Apr 24 #55

That's not what Patten wrote. It is a small part of what she wrote, taken entirely out of context. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #61

Advocate for a full and proper investigation. AloeVera Apr 25 #62

Why is inclusion of a terrorist group complicit in mass rapes in the UN list of entities guilty of sexual violence Beastly Boy Apr 25 #63

I didn't expect any answers. Beastly Boy Apr 25 #66

See post #64 AloeVera Apr 25 #67

If you say so. Beastly Boy Apr 25 #68

UN has lost all credibility mcar Apr 23 #9

Make a statement and drop out if the UN is so unfair. TeamProg Apr 24 #18

This sounds vaguely familiar. I think i've I've heard something similar before. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #19

Your example is off base because no one lives at the UN. TeamProg Apr 24 #24

It is the sentiment and not residence status that makes my example relevant. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #27

That is partly why I recommended some introspection. TeamProg Apr 24 #29

Introspected as per your recommendation. Not a single reservation raised upon conclusion. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #33

I am shocked! Shocked!! Behind the Aegis Apr 24 #22

The UN is NOT a neutral arbiter. Happy Hoosier Apr 24 #25

And people wonder why Israel does not trust the UN? sarisataka Apr 24 #26

The U.N was the governing body that formed Israel! Yes! The U.N. has it out for Israel! ( sarcasm) TeamProg Apr 24 #35

That was 77 years ago, times have changed sarisataka Apr 24 #38

The governing body that formed Israel 75 years ago is not Beastly Boy Apr 24 #39
