On October 7, the Hamas terrorists who swept through southern Israel not only murdered hundreds of innocent civilians and kidnapped nearly 250 people, but also They raped dozens of women, including minors.

They did it, furthermore, with extreme violence and, probably worst of all, not as something spontaneous, but as a planned part of the attack: as the expert on violence against women in conflicts explained in a virtual conference, Jessica Nevoit has been confirmed thanks to the review of the backpacks of those who were killed that “the terrorists of October 7 They carried manuals on how to rape“.

The specific content of these manuals has not been disseminated, but it has emerged that one of the things they said is that what they wanted to do with Israeli women was “dirty” them. Furthermore, in each area where the attack occurred “there was a commander responsible for violence against women“, as if it were one of the elements of ‘military’ operations.

Another detail that he commented is that some of the terrorists had consumed capturethe so-called “jihadist drug”, which is a substance that “dilutes the boundary between good and evil” and which had already been used before by ISIS terrorists and in the Syrian war.

A “crime against humanity”

In the same virtual conference, which was offered to a group of Ibero-American journalists, the Israeli ambassador to Mexico, Einat Kranz Snowexplained that “the terrorists used sexual violence as a tool of war, of terrorism” a procedure that is considered “crime against humanity“.

“Not only were they raped, but They raped them brutally and violently: “They had a broken pelvis, they were mutilated,” commented the diplomatic representative who also criticized the silence that “organizations that have women’s rights as their banner” and also “movements like Metoo” maintained for weeks.

Unequivocal testimonies

As Jessica Nevo highlighted in the aforementioned meeting, “most of the women who were sexually attacked were also murdered,” but in the weeks since October 7, they have managed to meet a series of unequivocal testimonies which give an idea not only of the scale of the violence exerted, but also of how brutal it was in most cases.

Declarations of survivors who were able to witness the events, and also of the soldiers or health workers who arrived at the places where the terrorists had passed, as well as the health workers, volunteers from ZAKA – a Jewish organization specialized in recovering human remains from attacks or natural disasters – and forensics who had to take care of the bodies of the deceased women.

One of the survivors of the massacre at the techno festival near Gaza that was one of the central scenes of Hamas’ crimes told how several terrorists took turns raping a woman that he was bleeding from his back, one of the rapists “cut his breast, threw it on the road and the others played with him.” Finally, she was shot dead while she continued to be raped.

One of the testimonies that was read at a session at the UN on the issue stated that “we heard girls who were taken from shelters. Girls who were screaming. They raped girls. They burned them right after that. All the bodies that were outside were burned.” The bodies of women charred but still in positions in which the sexual assault was evident are, indeed, another of the macabre finds that unfortunately were quite common, both at the Nova festival and in other scenes of the massacre, and they have been seen, for example, in the more than forty-minute film that Israel has made public about the atrocities of October 7.

Also abused during their captivity

One of the cases that has had the greatest significance due to the probative power of the images, which have been seen throughout the world, has been that of Naama Levy, 19 years oldwhich was filmed in Gaza when her kidnappers took her out of the back of a jeep with her hands tied, cuts on her ankles and her pants stained with a large amount of blood in the buttock area, everything indicates that the result of having suffered a rape.

Abuses that, according to the latest testimonies of some freed hostages, did not, unfortunately, end on October 7, but would have continued during his captivity: at least 10 of them, women but also men, suffered sexual violence during their captivity according to the testimony of one of the doctors who treated them.

It is not the only source that confirms these facts: after a meeting of the Israeli war cabinet with some of the kidnapped hostages and with families of those still in captivity, Ronen Tzur, the director of the Hostages and Disappeared Forum, commented that “for the first time Once cabinet members have listened to freed hostages describe the difficult things that are happening in the tunnels, including sexual abuse“.

The silence of feminists

While every day what happened became more obvious and dozens of women were held hostage in inhumane conditions, international organizations supposedly dedicated to the defense of women They have maintained a shameful silence.

The well-known UN Women, a UN agency, He waited until December 1, 56 days after the macro attack of Hamas, to issue a statement in which they claim to be “alarmed by the numerous reports of gender-based atrocities during the attacks”, until then there was not a word about it.

Movements like #Metoo have also been portrayed: their silence has been so thunderous that it has provoked the indignant launch of the campaign
#MeToo_UNless_UR_a_Jew (#MeToo_except_si_eres_ Jewish) in which a proportional response is demanded from UN Women and international feminism.

In Spain there have also been no feminist organizations that have raised their voices for the raped, kidnapped and murdered Jewish women and, on the contrary, experts in “feminisms” have denied the facts, calling them “Israeli propaganda”, as the journalist did. Nuria Alabao in an unspeakable article in the ultra-left media Ctxt – in which Pablo Iglesias writes – and which settled the issue with a “The truth is that there is no conclusive evidence”.

It is clear that for Jewish women the “Sister, I do believe you” that this same feminism demands for Spanish women. If that’s not anti-Semitism…
