Did the IDF soldiers from Israel rape the Palestinian women ?

The Israeli sexual torture incident, in which nine soldiers were apprehended on July 29 for subjecting Palestinian captives to physical and sexual torture, was portrayed by Western media as a ‘’departure’’ from Israel's customary torture tactics.
The basic premise is that rape is ''rarely'' committed by Israeli torturers of Palestinian captives.
Following the outbreak of widespread riots, the authorities released four of the captured soldiers.
The US State Department, presumably shocked by the torture, called a video that depicted the alleged rape as "horrific" and stressed that:

"there ought to be zero tolerance for sexual abuse, rape of any detainee, period... If there are detainees who have been sexually assaulted or raped, the government of Israel, the IDF [Israeli army] need to fully investigate those actions and hold anyone responsible accountable to the full extent of the law."

The White House, presumably a stranger with the mistreatment of political detainees in US facilities, remained calm while expressing deep concern over reports of Israeli sexual torture.
Similarly, the EU expressed that it is "gravely concerned."
However, this is not a recent occurrence in the brutality of the Israeli colonial-settler regime. Human rights groups have previously exposed that the Israeli army has consistently employed physical and sexual torture against Palestinians since at least 1967.
Even Zionist leaders of that era acknowledged the undoubtedly sadistic nature of the Zionist colonists' treatment of Palestinians since the 1880s.
The sadistic tendencies and the sexual torture that frequently accompany it are not only derived from European colonial arrogance, but also from orientalist perceptions that Arabs only "understand force" and are allegedly more susceptible to sexual torture compared to white Europeans.
The Israeli army's apprehension of the rogue soldiers accused of gang raping the Palestinian captive has sparked fury among the right-wing Israelis, who constitute the bulk of the voting population.
Israeli Knesset members joined a large group of protesters as they attempted to forcibly enter two military bases and a judicial building housing the soldiers in order to free them.
Furthermore, several Israeli government ministers have justified the act of raping Palestinian captives as "legitimate."
During a segment on Israeli morning TV, hosts and experts debated about the most efficient way to orchestrate sexual assault against Palestinian prisoners, focusing their criticism solely on the "disorganized" manner in the execution of such acts.
While such talks may appear commonplace in Israel, observers from the Western world have pretended to be surprised.
This reaction comes despite Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem's report, which states that Israel has been implementing a systematic program of prisoner abuse and torture since October, including acts of violence and sexual abuse against Palestinian detainees.
One of the accused Israeli rapists was invited, while concealing their identity, to appear on Israeli TV Channel 14 in order to justify the acts of rape. Subsequently, he shared a video on social media in which he revealed his true identity, expressing a sense of satisfaction with his unit and their handling of the Palestinians.
At the same time, Israeli TV coverage has been demanding punishment for the person who leaked the video of the rape to human rights groups, accusing them of being a "traitor" to Israel.
Such activities are not unique to Israel.
After the 2004 disclosure of the American government's organized physical and sexual abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in 2003, veteran American journalist Seymour Hersh exposed the belief:

"Arabs are particularly vulnerable to sexual humiliation became a talking point among pro-war Washington conservatives in the months before the March, 2003, invasion of Iraq".

Hersh states that American neocons became aware of this "vulnerability" from Israeli orientalist Raphael Patai's infamous 1973 book, The Arab Mind.
Hersh cited a source who described the book as "the bible of the neocons on Arab behaviour". According to the source, the Neocons' discussions revealed two prevailing ideas:

"One, that Arabs only understand force and, two, that the biggest weakness of Arabs is shame and humiliation."

Hersh proceeds with his revelations:

"The government consultant said that there may have been a serious goal, in the beginning, behind the sexual humiliation and the posed photographs. It was thought that some prisoners would do anything—including spying on their associates—to avoid dissemination of the shameful photos to family and friends. The government consultant said, 'I was told that the purpose of the photographs was to create an army of informants, people you could insert back in the population.' The idea was that they would be motivated by fear of exposure, and gather information about pending insurgency action, the consultant said. If so, it wasn't effective; the insurgency continued to grow."

This form of torture, which is based on race, is a clear representation of imperial cultures, both in the current day and throughout history. One such report is this one:

"The types of torture employed are varied. They include beatings with fists and [stomping] with boots... as well as using canes for beating and flogging to death. They also included... the penetration of the rectums of the victims with canes, and then moving the cane left and right, and to the front and back. They also included pressing on the testicles with the hands and squeezing them until the victim loses consciousness from the pain and until they [the testicles] get so swollen that the victim would not be able to walk or move except by carrying his legs one at a time... They also included the starving of dogs and then provoking them and pushing them to devour his flesh and to eat off his thighs. It also included urinating on the faces of victims...[Another form of torture included the soldiers'] sodomising them, as it seems that this was done to a number of people."

This report essentially details, word for word, what the United States did to Iraqi captives in 2003 and what the Zionists have done to Palestinian prisoners since the 1930s.
Published in August 1938, this report provides a comprehensive account of the treatment of revolutionary Palestinians by British and Zionist Jewish soldiers during the Palestinian anti-colonial uprising of the 1930s.
Subhi al-Khadra, the author of the report, was a Palestinian political prisoner who was held in the Acre Prison. He acquired knowledge regarding the torment inflicted upon these prisoners, which occurred in Jerusalem, subsequent to their relocation to Acre. The captives relayed their experiences to him and displayed physical evidence of torture on their bodies.
Regarding the motivations of the British torturers, Khadra concludes:

"This was not an investigation in which forceful methods are used. No. It was a vengeance and a release of the most savage and barbaric of instincts and of the concentrated spirit of hatred that these rednecks feel towards Muslims and Arabs. They mean to torture for the sake of torture and to satisfy their appetite for vengeance, not for the sake of an investigation nor to expose crimes."

The report was disseminated in the Arabic press and sent to British members of parliament.
The imperial context, whether American, European, or Israeli, is characterized by racism and absolute authority, and it is common for sex and violence to coexist here.
During the ''first'' Gulf War, which took place from 1990 to 1991, American fighter and bomber pilots spent hours watching pornographic films to mentally prepare themselves for the extensive bombing operations they were tasked with carrying out in Iraq.
US soldiers not only accepted the rape of Vietnamese women guerrillas as a common occurrence during the US invasion and occupation of Vietnam, but it was also included in their drill instructions.
The same orientalist and sexist paradigm that dominated American attitudes during the Vietnam War also shaped Israeli attitudes toward Palestinian detainees.
Indeed, a similar sadistic racism drove the strategic use of Israeli rape of Palestinian women as a weapon during the 1948 war and afterwards.
The United Nations and human rights groups have reported widespread instances of Israeli sexual torture and abuse of Palestinian women and men in the West Bank and Gaza during the past 11 months.
Israeli racists' claims that the Israeli army is a "moral army" or the "most moral army in the world" are merely a public relations ploy to hide Israel's genocidal acts against the Palestinian population.
Given that the Zionist policy since 1948 has involved the acts of killing, raping, and land theft from Palestinians, the calls from the US State Department for Israel to "investigate" itself is rather laughable.The Israeli army's investigation into the recently revealed gang rape of a Palestinian prisoner is expected to reaffirm Israel's ''right to defend itself'', while adhering to the ‘’highest moral and legal standards.’’ These very same principles have been in place since 1948 and have unfortunately enabled Israel to ethnically cleanse and oppress an entire population without facing consequences.
