I had all the goodwill in the world for her with her stance on gender ideology and was disgusted at the behind the scenes attempts to have her removed by my Australian government but she can go get fucked.

She has just stated on X that there is no evidence that rapes took place on October 7. The rapes that were filmed, live-streamed and celebrated by the perpetrators.

Unfortunately not a surprise since she works for the UN which is the same with this situation. Unfortunately Jewish women being raped is just not taken seriously or minimised.

I think it was this article that highlighted that no testimonies from victims or witnesses were forthcoming. They haven’t allowed for an independent party to investigate and therefore doubt will exist because Israel has very little to no credibility left.

The Dinah Project has provided plenty of harrowing evidence as part of their investigation and work.

The UN has also investigated (Pramila Patten, Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict) and concluded sexual assualt and gang-rape were likely to have occured based on the evidence, including survivor testimony and forensic evidence.

Just because the survivors and witnesses haven't all shared their testimony with the New York Times and strangers on the internet, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

The UN is a disgrace and a failed organisation.

Investigators have gathered “tens of thousands” of testimonies of sexual violence committed by Hamas on Oct. 7, according to the Israeli police, including at the site of a music festival that was attacked.

Israel has accused Hamas of committing abuses against large numbers of women. Hamas denies the allegations.

If this is true, then this is an egregious thing for someone in such a role, specifically advocating against VAWAG to say.

I’m just horrified.

Well she would say that wouldn't she, to paraphrase Mandy Rice Davies.
