The Israeli public largely supports this, given that Israel is a western democracy, it's not surprising that the state behaves in a way that matches the hearts and minds of its people.
Not to excuse violations of human rights in Israel... but it's not like Iran is any better [1], and Hamas and the other groups that joined in on Oct 7th also committed copious amounts of sexual violence [2], and hostages claimed being sexually abused as well [3].
Truly no side is innocent here.

Iran isnt' getting tax dollars from the united states to commit their 6e|\|0c|de.
Its 2026 and its now controversial to say that a adherence to broad respect for human rights should be a minimum bar for being considered a proper western democracy.

Impressive mental gymnastics to go from the topic of sexual abuse to a criticism of democracy - oh no, "western democracy".
Is there a prison where it doesn't happen?
