These include female genital mutilation, forced marriages, persecuting women for not dressing according to strict Islamic standards, “honor killings,” and much more.It’s no surprise then, but shocking and horrific nonetheless, that one “weapon” in Hamas’ inhuman massacre of over 1200 people in Israel on October 7, brutalizing thousands, and kidnapping more than 240, including young children and elderly women held hostage in Gaza, was the raping of Israeli women in the process. Underscoring that these are not individual criminal acts but part of something widespread and...

WARNING: This story contains graphic details Decades before Yahya Sinwar became the political leader of Hamas in Gaza, Israeli journalist and author Ehud Yaari sat down with him over hummus in an Israeli prison in the Negev desert. He describes Sinwar, who conversed in fluent Hebrew, as a curious but cunning Islamist, bent upon the destruction of the state of Israel. "He is not somebody who's thinking about negotiations, a two-state solution — that's not Sinwar," said Yaari, who interviewed Sinwar in prison four times between 1993 and 2001. "He was very clear that the state of Israel should be...

From the UN to Owen Jones, the equivocating over sexual violence against Israeli women is inexcusable and abhorrent It must suck to be a Hamas rapist. You put in the hard yards on October 7, breaking off from gunning down festivalgoers to round up and hog-tie young women, getting them to strip off — all that tedious crying — so your bros can each take a turn.
