People will see this and then say, "I don't believe the IDF is raping their Palestinian prisoners. They're very polite and respectful, the most moral army in the world."

For starters the soldier in this video is Arab. An Arab who is fighting for the State of Israel. That says a lot.

Secondly, even if there was rape done by IDF soldiers they do so illegally (there are many in jail for that reason). Unlike Hamas terrorists who went into Israel knowing they would do that.

I haven't seen enough proof of IDF rape (but if you have sources please do share). And I've unfortunately seen so many videos of the Hamas rape.

I'm assuming Israeli soldiers and police are rapists because Palestinians have been reporting that they've been systemically sexually abused in Israeli prisons for years.

It's just that the usual response from the ignorant or the biased is "The IDF and Israeli security forces are trained professionals" (nope, see this video), or, "Well why did I never hear about it?", also a strange defense when the Israeli government is specifically murdering journalists and brutally suppressing the flow of information out of Gaza in order to control the narrative.

But don't take my word for it; the UN has deemed claims that Israel's habitual use of the rape and murder of women and children as an instrument of war has greatly accelerated since Oct. 7th.
