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
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!
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.
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.
