NGO Hopes To Bring Israel To ICC On Charges Of Mass Non-Rape

Whenever and wherever Israel appears to be doing something positive, look for a sinister ulterior motive.

The Hague, September 13 – Activists on behalf of Palestinian rights continue their efforts to seek justice, with one group organizing around the goal of getting Israeli officials in the dock of the International Criminal Court here in this Dutch city for overseeing Israel Defense Forces operations that resulted in millions of Palestinian women and girls not getting sexually assaulted by Israeli troops, which only underscores the racist ideology behind the Zionist enterprise, a spokeswoman for the group announced today.

Oness Hamoni of the NGO New York Movement for Palestinian Hysterics and Outlandishness (NYMPHO) told reporters today that her group has come to the ICC specifically to petition the body to expand its investigation into allege Israeli war crimes to include wanton engagement of refusal to rape Palestinians en masse, a policy that departs dramatically from virtually the entire history of warfare and raises disturbing questions about Israeli soldiers’ view of Palestinian women.

“There’s something wrong with that,” charged Ms. Hamoni, herself of Palestinian and Syrian extraction. “Only a deeply bigoted society could order its soldiers not to rape the women and girls – or men and and boys, for that matter – of areas under its control, especially in the bloodlust during and right after combat, and have those soldiers, every last one, obey those orders. It can only mean that the IDF, and Zionist culture in general, see Palestinians, probably all Arabs, as subhuman and therefore unworthy of lust.”

Hamoni warned against falling into the trap of accepting Israeli explanations for events at face value. “We already know about pinkwashing and other phenomena,” she admonished, referring to Israel as an island of tolerance and freedom for homosexuals in a region where that population faces torture and execution. “Whenever and wherever Israel appears to be doing something positive, look for a sinister ulterior motive. That’s where the truth lies.”

Legal experts cast doubt on the initiative’s prospects. “Success is more likely if they simply find Palestinian volunteers, or, more likely, for payment, to fabricate cases of actual rape by IDF soldiers that went uninvestigated or unpunished,” explained Richard Falk. “International organizations such as the ICC tend to buy such accusations much more easily, predisposed as they are to assume Israeli guilt even before real examination of the evidence. I would suggest NYMPHO focus instead on identifying and coaching ‘victims’ of that sort. I can be of some help, with experience of my own in handling allegations of Israeli crimes. My associates and I will be happy to give her a private consultation in my hotel room.”
