Israel is obstructing a UN investigation into alleged sexual violence committed during the Hamas-led 7 October attacks, according to a report by Haaretz.

The request, which was rejected by Israel, would have allowed the UN access into Israeli prisons to conduct investigations into the treatment of Palestinians held there.

Torture, rape and murder have all been reported as rife at the facility, one of several prisons where Palestinians have been mistreated for decades.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir confirmed that conditions inside Israeli prisons “have indeed worsened” since the war on Gaza began, adding: "I am proud of that.”

    The Oct. 7 massacre is more of a tool to Israel than an actual tragedy, they don’t actually care for the victims. Imagine dying horribly just for your death to either be celebrated or be used as a justification for genocide, that sounds like a horrible way to go.

      I don’t think these people cared the slightest about either of these things or Trump or… while they got murdered.

        Yeah, when people say “imagine being murdered only for ____ to happen” isn’t a literal statement that these people, now dead, care about these things.

        Just like the dead don’t care about someone spitting on their grave. It’s for the living. See what we’re saying?

          You are correct. I still do not like to see people “used” like that from someone who does not know them.
