Source credibility- these claims were put forward by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights - a leading UN entity in the field of human rights, set to promote and protect all human rights for all people
The UN has a history of referring to large parts of Israel as “Occupied Palestinian territories”, voting against Israel, and is considered a biased source in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has been accused of being deeply involved with Hamas by many countries, including the US, Germany, the EU, Sweden, Japan, France and many more, after solid evidence showing its members actively participated in the October 7th massacre.
UN Women expressed its condemnation of Hamas's sexual assaults against Israeli women only eight weeks after the October 7th attack. This brought alive the hashtag #MeTooUnlessUrAJew. Where are these alleged experts on humanitarian rights when the crimes are against Jews?
It is clear that the co-signatories are motivated not by the truth but by their hatred for Israel and its people.
Evidence - The UN made references to photos allegedly showing female detainees in degrading circumstances, said to be taken by Israeli troops and uploaded online.
Specific names, videos, or pictures supporting the claims of rape were not provided. Without precise information or evidence for individual cases of rape and degrading pictures uploaded online, it is challenging to thoroughly investigate such claims.
Photos that depict women being stripped and checked for weapons to prevent attacks are not considered sexual assault, since Hamas commands women to appear innocent and kill soldiers in checkpoints and by taking part in the attacks against Israel, Palestinian women make themselves terrorists as well.
Incentive structure
The IDF prides itself on being one of the most moral armies globally, on topics ranging from civilian to terrorist casualty numbers to level of scrutiny of abiding to international laws.
Israel has also shown a willingness to investigate allegations against its own soldiers to prevent harm and ensure compliance with international laws of war, even though it asserts that it was the one assaulted.
