Because this isn’t talked about enough, ICC judges at The Hague were sanctioned by the U. S. (Trump) for attempting to prosecute U. S. and Israeli officials for war crimes in Gaza. They were cut off from all American tech (like Amazon and Microsoft) and finance (like their Visa and MasterCard credit cards). Even their kids are barred from visiting the U. S.: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/world/europe/icc-judges-us-sanctions-trump.html Hence why countries like France are switching from Microsoft to Linux and the EU is creating its own credit card, Wero. Trump has made dependence on American tech not an asset, but a liability.

Did people have this much grace for Nazis that served in the SS and the German army? Israelis can easily refuse to serve in their genocidal army for several years and spend a couple months in prison instead

Wait you think following WW2 the US killed every person aged 18-60 in Germany, Japan, and Italy? Yes when the entire country was Nazi they didn’t just wipe out all of its civilians.
27
juanlg1 Apr 21, 2026 +19
Who said anything about wiping out entire civilian populations? The original comment was about sending war criminals to The Hague

virtual_adam Apr 21, 2026 +26
At the end of WW2 you had millions who could have fit the description of Nazi. The commanders were taken care of and the rest were told to get their shit together

juanlg1 Apr 21, 2026 +26
Cool, I think all war criminals should be prosecuted for their crimes. Maybe the Gacaca courts of Rwanda are a better model in that regard than post WW2 Germany

So the entire country is full of genocidal freaks that ostracize those who refuse to participate in genocide? It’s really not a good look when you make these kinds of arguments, especially if you’re also trying to argue that the issue is Israel’s extremist government and not the citizens themselves

Sadly, both could be true at the same time. I’m not saying they are the most civilized, but all middle eastern countries are ripe with sexual abuse at all levels of society. Just go ask the philippino maids in gulf countries.

miz_misanthrope Apr 21, 2026 +105
Do the Gulf states happen to train dogs to r*** people? Because the IDF does that. It's even been documented by human rights orgs that they use dogs on people. I'm also haunted by the murder of a young non verbal Palestinian man with severe downs syndrome who was mauled to death by dogs & left to slowly bleed out while his family were taken to a concentration camp.

I remember the Russian woman who told her man who was heading to Ukraine to r*** their women. This isn't purely about desire, sexual assault is one of the tools oppressors use to dominate and subjugate other.

afoxboy Apr 21, 2026 +156
it's not just men. the amount of israeli spokeswomen i've seen saying shit like "well maybe gazan children should tell their parents to not make them valid targets" is genuinely unfathomable. it's a full systemic propaganda issue, not divided by gender.

timcorin Apr 21, 2026 -131
I imagine it would be in response to articles where Iran and Hamas arm children and put them on the frontlines. There is that whole famous case in the 80s where Iran had teens run into minefields to trigger and ‘clear mines’ so they didn’t have to spare soldiers and tanks. Craziness.

Male detainees have reported being raped by female IDF. Usually it's forced sodomy with metal bars, batons & other objects not designed for s*** time. It's not a male/female thing. It's an Israeli thing. Makes sense why 80% of sexual assaults go unsolved there.

We have seen sexual violence being used by men against those they deemed lesser than them all throughout history. It is commonly used as a war tactic. It’s a lot of men.

That many men are evidently good with it though if it's being debated whatsoever. The complicity is massive even if the body of actors isn't

VanessaAlexis Apr 21, 2026 +34
Yep. Look at Vietnam. There was so much SA going on from American soldiers. The vets don't want to talk about it but it happened en masse. Even if they didn't do it themselves they were complicit in other soldiers doing it.

yvesp90 Apr 21, 2026 -23
This type of news, sexual assault by the IDF in general, isn't that rarely reported about. Also you think they'd be able to mass displace, if their methods don't work on *masses*? Unless you believe a couple of soldiers can assault a lot of families, by themselves

Reading the news these days, I feel like Israel’s government and military find new ways to become more absurdly evil every day, all the while insisting that their cause is morally just because their opponents are “bad guys”. The hypocrisy makes it even worse.

I used to be a very solid supporter of both the US and Israel, at times to the detriment of my social standing in left-leaning circles in Sweden. Although I maintain that my opinions were then well-founded, it is difficult to in any way support their current actions. In particular Israel’s action look like the may lead to long-term incompatibility with any reasonable opinion, in that further and expanded unlawful occupation of territory is unlikely to cease. Once settlers have moved in, it seems unlikely they will move out even with a change to sane leadership in Israel. Once Trump is gone and if the US reforms, they appear to have less persisting problems.
