An Israeli lawmaker named Hanoch Milwidsky stated that it is permissible to sexually abuse Hamas fighters, adding that “everything is permissible”, as we read in the New York Times:
But several ministers and right-wing lawmakers backed the protesters, and in some cases suggested the need to punish Hamas superseded the military’s need for accountability.
In Parliament, a lawmaker from Mr. Netanyahu’s party, Hanoch Milwidsky, was asked whether it was acceptable to sexually abuse a detainee.
“Yes,” he replied. “If he is Nukhba,” he added, referring to the Hamas commando unit, “everything is legitimate to do. Everything.”
You can hear him say this on video:
Lid van de Knesset (Israëlische parlement), Hanoch Milwidsky, zegt dat het is geoorloofd om Palestijnse gevangenen te verkrachten enzovoorts, wat dan ook.

There are those who would agree with this lawmaker because those who are being tortured are “terrorists”. Even if the victims are terrorists, there are somethings you just don’t do, even if the person is a terrorists. It is surreal to see officials in Israel declaring that rape is permissible. For context, Milwidsky was speaking in light of several Israeli soldiers sexually torturing a Palestinian detainee. According to Haaretz: “the Gazan detainee suffered from a ruptured bowel, a severe injury to his anus, lung damage and broken ribs. He was taken to a hospital for an operation.” The damage to the man was so bad that the doctor who examined him said that he “couldn’t believe an Israeli jailer could do such a thing.” If you want to use the argument of “these are terrorists and we can do whatever we want to them,” keep in mind that the fanatics in Israel think that every Gazan is a terrorist:
Channel 14 in Israel is like Fox News run by Homelander. It's a Bibi propaganda outlet. My father's next door neighbour watches it. She wants to drive all the citizens of Gaza into the sea. https://t.co/FiVC7uImb6

By this logic, the Israeli soldiers can rape and kill every Gazan. These people are sick.
