This week the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel submitted a comprehensive and horrific new report to the United Nations detailing the vicious, deliberate, and widespread sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas.

The chilling 35-page document cites firsthand testimonies describing several patterns of sexual attacks by the terrorists, including gang rape, dismembering male and female bodies, sexual assault in front of family members, and more.

From the report: "Hamas's attack included violent acts of rape, accompanied by threats with weapons, and in some cases targeted towards injured women. Many of the rapes were carried out as a group, with the participation of violent terrorists. Often, the rape was perpetrated in front of an audience – partners, family, or friends – in a manner intended to increase the pain and humiliation of all present…"

"Many of the bodies of sexual crime victims were found bound and shackled. The genitals of both women and men were brutally mutilated, and sometimes weapons were inserted into them. The terrorists did not stop at shooting; they also cut and mutilated sexual organs and other body parts with knives…"

Read the full report.

In an interview on CNN, the Association’s director, Orit Sulitzeanu, outlined the group’s findings. "Silence will be remembered as a historical sting on those who chose to remain silent and denied the sexual crimes committed by Hamas," Orit said.

"My mother was a survivor from Auschwitz…For me, it’s a Holocaust. Smaller in scale, but horrific and very sadistic," she added.

The New York Times and The Guardian have also written about this extensively. Hamas has vowed to repeat its atrocities "again and again." The world must stand with Israel throughout its fight to ensure the terror group can never fulfill its promise.

And let us not forget the 134 young women and men, children, fathers and mothers, elderly, who were kidnapped on October 7, and are still being held hostage. For 140 days, today, they are at the hands of these rapist terrorists and may be suffering the exact same brutalities and torture.
