While Israel stands accused of actions like these:
An international children’s rights charity has said it has evidence that Palestinian children held in Israeli custody have been subjected to sexual abuse in an effort to extract… confessions from them.
The Geneva-based Defence for Children International (DCI)… has collected 100 sworn affadavits from Palestinian children who said they were mistreated by their Israeli captors.
Fourteen… of the statements say they were sexually abused or threatened with sexual assault to pressure them into confessions.
Al Jazeera’s correspondent in the West Bank, Nour Odeh, met one of the children, identified only as “N”, who… said he suffered… sexual abuse at the hands of his interrogators.
Actions such as these will become more common, and rightly so:
The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) expresses its profound appreciation for the courageous positions in support of Palestinian rights taken by the membership of the University and College Union (UCU) at its Congress today in Manchester. … The UCU has again firmly and decisively established its unwavering commitment to the Palestinian civil society’s campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with its obligations under international law and recognizes the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people.… Making history in the international trade union movement in the West, UCU’s Congress also voted with an overwhelming majority to “sever all relations with Histadrut, and to urge other trade unions and bodies to do likewise.”… The UCU has today confirmed its established position that it is legitimate to denounce Israel’s oppressive policies and to hold the state and its complicit institutions accountable for human rights abuses, war crimes and ethnic cleansing.
The Histadrut’s long standing partnership in the Israeli state’s colonization, ethnic cleansing and racial discrimination against the Palestinian people, particularly its statement on January 13th, 2009 supporting Israel’s war crimes in the occupied and besieged Gaza strip, has been condemned by a number of trade unions, including the British Communications Workers Union (CWU) [1] and others in Belgium, Spain, France, Norway and around the world.… The Scottish Trade Union Congress (STUC) has recently decided to review its relations with the Histadrut with a view to severing them.
