Following weeks of silence by women’s organizations and international bodies, UN secretary-general says issue needs to be ‘vigorously investigated’; Israel’s UN envoy: ‘When it comes to Israeli women, sexual violence that has been proven and determined by state authorities still needs to be investigated’
Against the backdrop of widespread anger in Israel over the silence of women’s organizations and international bodies regarding the severe sexual violence used by Hamas terrorists against women in the attack on October 7, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced Thursday that these actions must be thoroughly investigated.
“There are numerous accounts of sexual violence during the abhorrent acts of terror by Hamas on 7 October that must be vigorously investigated and prosecuted,” Guterres wrote on the X platform
It’s so ridiculous how one of the commenters here normalizes the HAMAS terrorist attack with their uncovered whataboutism.
Hamas is not an acronym.
The whataboutism is valid, because most of the “anti Hamas” crowd would excuse these acts as self defense if they were done by the other Terrorist organization.
The self defense rapes? Wtf?
They’re already defending the self defense mass arrests with no charges, the self defense tear gassing of people praying in mosques, the self defense punishing Palestinians for killing a lunatic who killed 20 of them while they were praying, and many other products of self defense™.
I haven’t even gotten to the acts that are getting excused by the 7th of October attack. So yes; I wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up tomorrow and found the self defense rapes looking me in the face.
Dude, I just don’t understand. For every action there is a reaction, right? You have a solution how to separate wolves from the sheep? Go ahead and pitch it. Otherwise, stop spreading this whataboutism. There was a terrorist attack. It cannot be dismissed. The responsible for it must be punished. You must blame the terrorists for what is happening to the people in Gaza.
Research the Russian invasion of Ukraine. You either don’t understand, or you are paid to spread what you say.

Investigation into Israeli war crimes when?
Investigation into on-going occupier (err “settler”) violence when?
Investigation into 6k dead Palestinian children when?
Let’s investigate all sides.
Whataboutism top marks!
Asking for accountability when war crimes and a genocide is being overlooked isn’t “whataboutism”. Maybe you’d know that if you knew what the term actually meant.
I don’t think this is whataboutism, and actually, even if it is, you’re using it to deflect a good point. All things that could be considered ‘war crimes’ should be investigated for all parties.
It’s called being fair, and it’s a reasonable position.
Well if the UN is doing it we all know nothing will get done.
Equal protection of human rights is not whataboutism and any operator who engages in this type of misinformation is a puppet of the colonial regime
The sexual violence experienced by Palestinian prisoners charged with no crime and held indefinitely in Israeli prisons? The babies who were left to die as the IDF forced doctors to leave?
Well, that’s just business as usual. No reason to investigate that. The UN is fucking worthless.
The UN is fucking worthless.
The UN is indeed nearly worthless, but not for lack of the investigations they conduct (or intend to conduct at least).
Hamas is clearly in the wrong here, but I agree that the Israeli government has also committed atrocities against Palestinians.
Go go whataboutism!
