So here is what I have found;
UN Special Representative (March 2024)
…this mission did not establish proof beyond reasonable doubt, could not confirm systematic use, or directly attribute orders to Hamas
UN Commission of Inquiry (June 2024)
…Yet, due to lack of on-site access and forensic limitations, it couldn't verify specific allegations such as genital mutilation or orders from Hamas.
The evidence rests largely on witness testimony and patterns of violence—powerful but not forensic confirmation
ZAKA volunteer Yehuda Meshi-Zahav’s cousin, who said women had “poles in their genitals,” later retracted after admitting she didn’t see the bodies herself.
Israeli police initially suggested forensic evidence of rape, but later clarified there was no DNA or rape kit confirmation.
To date, there has been no publicly available forensic evidence (e.g. rape kits, DNA, or explicit video) proving rape on October 7. No confirmed rape charges have been filed, no court cases brought.
Investigations rely solely on witness testimony, much of it second-hand, and some early claims (like women with poles in their genitals, or beheaded babies) were later retracted or disproven.
Even President Biden falsely claimed to have seen photos of beheaded babies—he later walked it back. So the question is: Did he lie, or was he shown something staged or fake?
Contrast this with what has come out of Gaza:
There is a disturbing amount of documented evidence of sexual violence, torture, and killings of Palestinian women and children by Israeli forces—including witness testimony, photographs, and videos. A video of a Palestinian prisoner being raped and murdered in an Israeli jail sparked riots inside Israel itself.
But here’s the double standard: Palestinian women’s testimonies of being raped by Israeli soldiers don’t hold the same weight in Western media or politics. Why are their stories treated as less?
