IDF Brig.-Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi met with the holder of the Israeli-Palestinian portfolio at the US State Department, who accused Israel of “systematically” sexually abusing Palestinian woman, the general explained in an interview on 103FM.
Recounting his meeting, he explained, “It was a meeting that shook me. We sat there, talked about the situation, and suddenly she accused Israel of systematically sexually abusing Palestinian women.”
Avivi described his reaction.
“This is absolutely disconnected from reality. But without hesitation, she said, ’The UN presented evidence to the Israeli government.’ I told her, ’Does it make sense that this phenomenon would exist and the media would never have reported on it?’ I wanted there to be greater awareness... about what is really happening in the US State Department. In the end, I left there with the feeling that they simply don’t talk to us and don’t pass on any information.”
Is it the official US position that IDF soldiers rape Palestinian women?
"When we meet with a State Department official holding the Israeli-Palestinian portfolio, every word she utters, as far as I’m concerned, is an official US position. Ultimately, she is a government official.
