Organ harvesting, dog rape: Contested claims of a Palestinian Feminist org. report - analysis
The report calls the graphic accounts of the rape of Israeli women on October 7, 2023, "fabricated" and intended to depict Palestinian men "as barbaric and depraved."
A new 187-page report from the Palestinian Feminist Collective (PFC), backed by Progressive International (PI), alleges systematic sexualized and gendered violence perpetrated by Israel against Palestinians. Allegedly carried out "across detention centers, homes, military operations, and systems of surveillance, from the Nakba of 1948 to the present," the report posits that this violence is an essential indicator of Israel's intent to dominate and destroy Palestinian life.
The report states that Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinians, a claim that garnered widespread condemnation, including accusations of modern-day blood libel from groups like the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and a threatened lawsuit from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The allegations, according to the report, are "documented" and serve as evidence of Israel's operationalized intent to dominate and destroy Palestinian life.
The report, based on alleged testimonies, details various forms of sexualized violence, including sexual slurs, forced nudity, forced witnessing of sexual acts, threats of sexual assault, sexualized comments or touch, physical torture targeting sexual or reproductive organs, forced oral sex, and simulated rape. The report asserts that such violence is a "colonial mechanism" deployed to destroy the "indigenous" Palestinian people.
