The crimes perpetrated by the zionist entity are so numerous and egregious that it is difficult to tell which one tops the list. From the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza to mass starvation, and the deliberate shooting of children in the knees or chest, to the well-documented sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners, the zionists have rightly earned international condemnation.
In addition to Palestinian human rights organizations, a number of international organizations have also in recent months spoken out about Isreli crimes, especially the sexual abuse of prisoners in Israeli jails.
These include Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor (Euro-Med), Israeli rights group B’Tselem and the Palestinian Committee for Human Rights. They have all highlighted the pervasive culture of sexual violence within Israeli forces, especially by those charged with overseeing Palestinian prisoners. The victims include men, women and children.
The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has also added its name to the list of organizations condemning Israel’s sexual abuse of detainees. The UN added the zionist entity to the list of perpetrators of sexual violence in conflict zones, the Israeli outlet Ynet reported.
The Hebrew news outlet revealed in its May 28 report that “One of the bodies expected to be included is the Israel Prison Service, alongside other Israeli authorities that have been placed under monitoring for possible future inclusion.”
Regimes often hide behind the excuse that abusive behaviour is the result of a few bad apples. In the zionist entity, the entire society is rotten. This is borne out by the fact that when sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners came to light two years ago, far from showing remorse, zionist officials defended the perpetrators.
The few voices that condemned the sexual abuse were targeted. In November 2024, CCTV footage of the sexual assault against a Palestinian prisoner in the notorious Sde Teiman prison was leaked to the press. It immediately sparked international condemnation.
In Israel, however, there was a severe political backlash. Israelis stormed the prison in an attempt to rescue the soldiers arrested for this horrific crime.
The video footage was leaked by Israel’s military advocate general, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi. She was arrested for leaking the video and later, the Israeli army chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir dismissed her from her position.
The scandal did not end there. In March 2026, the current military advocate general, Major General Itai Ofir, formally withdrew the criminal charges against the five soldiers, citing evidentiary challenges. The soldiers involved in the degrading act were applauded on television as heroes.
The Sde Teiman rape case is not an isolated incident. Human rights and media organizations have documented hundreds of testimonies from Palestinians detailing their torture, rape, and sexual abuse while held in Israeli prisons and detention centers.
In 2025, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres put the zionist entity “on notice” that it could be listed among parties “credibly suspected of committing or being responsible for patterns of rape or other forms of sexual violence.”
In 2024, the UN had added the Israeli army to its annual blacklist of countries and organizations harming children in conflict zones. Israeli snipers and soldiers regularly kill children in Gaza, targeting them with direct shots to the head and chest. Children have been buried alive with their hands tied behind their back.
Israel has also been the largest killer of journalists worldwide. At least 259 journalists have been killed in Gaza between October 7, 2023 and March 30, 2026, according to Global Investigative Journalists Network.
In May 2025, when the New York Times (NYT) published a column by Nicholas Kristof detailing the rape of Palestinian detainees by Israeli guards, including through the use of dogs, the zionists threatened to sue the paper and the reporter for defamation. Kristof is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist.
In April 2026, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor (Euro-Med) released its report of testimonies it compiled from former Palestinian prisoners. It reveale an “organized state policy” of sexual violence and torture inside Israeli prisons.
Some examples will highlight the nature of abuse and humiliation as documented by Euro-Med. In her testimony, a Palestinian woman, 42, from the northern Gaza Strip, described what she endured at Israel’s notorious Sde Teiman prison.
She was “bound naked to a metal table and repeatedly raped by two masked soldiers over the course of two days,” the woman revealed. She “was left shackled, naked and bleeding throughout the night before the soldiers returned the next day to continue raping her.”
The victim said she “wished for death,” comparing her time in prison to “another genocide behind walls.” The zionist rapists filmed her abuse. They even threatened to publish the footage if she did not “cooperate.”
Another former prisoner says he was stripped naked by his jailers, who brought dogs to urinate on him. The former prisoner also said the soldiers forced the dog to rape him.
He said the “dog penetrated my anus in a trained manner while I was being beaten,” adding: “This continued for several minutes. I felt profoundly humiliated and violated.”
A third one recounted being raped by both soldiers and dogs. “I felt severe pain in my anus and screamed, but every time I screamed, I was beaten. This continued for several minutes, while soldiers filmed and mocked me. The soldier left after ejaculating inside me. I was left in a humiliating position. I wished for death. I was bleeding.”
The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Alice Jill Edwards, spoke out about the torture of Palestinian prisoners and “potentially unlawful deaths” in Israeli prisons since October 2023. The UN expert said she had documented 52 cases of Israeli torture or ill-treatment of Palestinians, as well as 33 cases of sexual torture and other forms of abuse, including “severe beatings, stress positions, excessive restraints, electrocution, sleep deprivation, malnutrition and starvation.”
At least 94 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since October 2023. Autopsies in several cases revealed multiple rib fractures, skin hemorrhages, and injuries to internal organs, Ms Edwards said.
More than 9,000 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli jails, including 2,200 serving sentences. These include men, among them Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, women and children.
Dave DeCamp of AntiWar News reports: “Israel Has Killed More Than 1,000 Palestinians in Gaza Since So-Called Ceasefire Deal Was Signed in October 2025.”
The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem said in its report on June 23 that Israel’s ongoing deliberate targeting of Palestinian children results in genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza and war crimes in the occupied West Bank.
It is clear that Israeli indulges in such killings and degrading acts against the Palestinians in order to break their spirit of resistance. The zionists will not succeed. The day is getting near when the squatter colony will end and the illegal intruders from Europe (East and West) and Russia as well as North America will flee the holy land.
