Israeli soldiers using sexual assault to force Palestinians out of West Bank

US support for Israel is one of the most horrible things imaginable, really makes me ashamed. It is only the US standing between the current horrendous status quo and Israel being an true international pariah state. Hopefully we cut off support and usher in a find out era.

Nothing to say. Just absolutely maddening that this is what my taxes go to accomplish

The language in the article would be fascinating if it wasn't such a horrible thing. It's not that the Israeli soldiers are sexually assaulting Palestinians, instead they are using Sexual Assault. Later they say "Sexualised violence is used...", "men and boys were Targeted..." It's like there is a gun shooting people, or someone using a gun. But we can't connect fully understand how or who is perpetuating it. Edit: some more: "Israeli soldiers present during abuse had repeatedly failed to prevent it..." Who was abusing?

You can do strip searches/cavity searches without it being sexual assault, such as with detainees in prison. Not clear whether soldiers are acting on their own or following policy.
