Shoshana Strook, the daughter of the Israeli government’s far-right ‘Minister of Settlement and National Missions’ Orit Strook, has filed a formal complaint with Italian police accusing her parents and one of her brothers of sexually assaulting her for years.

In a social media statement, Shoshana Strook wrote of her alleged ordeal:

Hi, after a long period of doubts, extreme emotional states, and a lot of guilt, I wanted to share that I experienced sexual abuse by both of my parents and also by one of my brothers.

In addition, memories have surfaced in which I hit three of my younger brothers. I’m currently in Italy and recently filed a report with the police.

Many memories have been coming up lately, but it’s becoming too overwhelming. I hope to find a place where I can find some relief.

Orit Strook is a fanatical supporter of Israel’s illegal settlements on stolen Palestinian land and has pushed and amplified the extremist Netanyahu government’s narrative, including disproven claims of sexual violence on 7 October 2023, which the regime has used as justification for its genocide and other crimes in Gaza. She has also opposed attempts to agree a ceasefire.

Anyone who follows a bit of the politics in the Israeli government over the last few years is probably not that shocked. This bitch is one of the cruelest most dangerous people in the Israeli government.

She has publicly stated that is more important to "flatten" (ie genocide and complete destruction) gaza so that Jews can go live there (something about a religiously important location there) than save the Israeli hostages. She isn't even your classic genocidal racist fuck, she is the embodiment of the evils of religion.

So to tell you that I'm shocked she raped a kid? Nah, the jewish bible actually does forbid all kinds of legitimate sex acts such as masturbation and homosexuality, but it does not say anything specifically about children, what it does say is that you are an adult past 12 for girls and past 13 for boys.

So even without any interpretation tricks, the hebrew bible allows for an adult to have sex with a 12 yo girl, which is rape. And with some interpretation tricks some claim that sex with a child before coming of age is not really sex as they are not yet sexual beings or some BS like that.

To clearify, I don't support any religion, they are all bad IMO, but I do recognize that most religious people are not extremists and tend to share most of the morals of their time over the morals of their religion.

What else do you expect from a society that demands and indoctrinates its citizens with a certian level of inhumanity in order to exist the way it does. These are the same people who protested AGAINST jailing IOF soliders who raped palestinian hostages to death. BTW they exorinated these rapists and even made them celebrities and hosted them in tv interviews.

Hundreds of the US veterans who committed inhumane psycopathic war crimes in Iraq, the ones who killed innocents and raped minors, came back home full of ptsds, and as a result they abused and some even killed their spouses and many committed suicide. I may edit this comment later to post links to some of those stories.

I myself am so grateful to have lived a life while keeping a concious heart unable to do such acts even if I was ordered to do so, or even do so if I was alone and no one watching but god. If I did, I think I'd either kill myself , or that I'd bring it with me and inflect it upon the people around me, my family and spouse.
