Ms. Soussana, 40, is the first Israeli to speak publicly about being sexually assaulted during captivity after the Hamas-led raid on southern Israel. In her interviews with The Times, conducted mostly in English, she provided extensive details of sexual and other violence she suffered during a 55-day ordeal.

Ms. Soussana’s personal account of her experience in captivity is consistent with what she told two doctors and a social worker less than 24 hours after she was freed on Nov. 30. Their reports about her account state the nature of the sexual act; The Times agreed not to disclose the specifics.

. . .

For months, Hamas and its supporters have denied that its members sexually abused people in captivity or during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack. This month, a United Nations report said that there was “clear and convincing information” that some hostages had suffered sexual violence and there were “reasonable grounds” to believe sexual violence occurred during the raid, while acknowledging the “challenges and limitations” of examining the issue.

Is an Israeli child born in Tel Aviv a genocidal Nazi? Is it okay if they're captured by Hamas?

I really hope your response is an unequivocal no. We don't kill people for the sins of their fathers. We can expect them to make things right and work towards equity and peace, but they shouldn't be punished.

Part of the issue with this conflict is how long Israel has now existed and is established. There are people who have nothing to do with the Zionists. They shouldn't be punished for what the Zionists have done and are doing. There will never be peace if you continue to kill people for what their ancestors did.

How many Israeli children starved to death yesterday?

Nazis had children too and didn't justify the actions of the Nazis.

Would it be justified to bomb the homes of the Nazis to kill them if it also meant killing their children?

[-] nac82@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

I dont think I have to answer that to say it is wrong to starve children to death.

[-] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

What if it's Nazis who are starved in the process? What if you're starving an entire German city in WW2 to out the Nazis and kill them? Would you say the same thing?

Somehow, I think you're going to deflect once again and call me a genocide apologist because I'm asking if you disavow violence against innocents in all circumstances. I suppose I'll wait for that response before I say anything else.
