UN: 'Reasonable grounds' to believe rape was committed in the October 7 terror attacks

A new report by the United Nations has established that there are 'reasonable grounds' to believe that rape and gang rape occurred during the October 7th terror attacks led by Hamas against Israel. The UN mission interviewed survivors and witnesses of the attack, and examined 50 hours of video footage and thousands of photographs to arrive at this conclusion.

Is the New York Times losing its credibility on Israel-Palestine?

An horrific story in the New York Times falls apart and exposes systemic issues.

In December 2023, The New York Times published an explosive article – now widely discredited – that detailed Hamas’s agenda to weaponise rape and sexual violence on October 7.

India: The Child Sex Highway

101 East investigates Indian villages where it is custom for parents to sell their young daughters for sex.

Girls as young as 10 are being forced to work as prostitutes - and it is their own families selling them to passing truckers.

The girls are from the Bachara tribe, an unprivileged-caste community known as Dalits.

Most of the Bachara men say discrimination stops them from getting jobs, so generations of girls have supported their families through prostitution.

Meneka's mother forced her into prostitution at the age of 15. She now has a two-year-old daughter of her own and says she feels trapped.

"I feel like I am born in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing. But what can I do? I can't say much because this is our tradition."

The Apology: Stories of Asia's 'Comfort Women' (video)

Women forced into sexual slavery during World War II fight for justice and struggle to make peace with the past.

Are rape cases being politicised in India? (video)

The rape of an eight-year-old Muslim girl has caused religious tension as Hindu nationalists rally behind the accused.

More than 40,000 rapes are reported in India every year. With every rape case, there are calls for tougher laws, but that does not seem to have worked.

In the past, some rape cases got widespread media attention and prompted angry protests. Recently, a rape and murder crime led to the biggest demonstrations in years, with levels of anger and revulsion that India has not seen for a long time.

The little Muslim girl was just eight years old - she was kidnapped while grazing the family's cattle, sedated heavily and kept hidden in a Hindu temple. She was raped multiple times and eventually murdered.

Screening rape: India's debate

Debating the Delhi rape documentary; plus, a look at the internet trolls on the Kremlin's payroll.

In December 2012, the story of a horrific gang rape in India's capital New Delhi caught global attention. More than two years on, India and the issue of rape are back in the headlines – a direct result of the government's ban on a BBC documentary called India's Daughter.

Directed by British filmmaker Leslee Udwin, the documentary retells the story of the gang rape and features interviews with one of the rapists and his lawyers. The film was meant to air in India on the NDTV network on March 8, 2015 - International Women's Day. The government banned the broadcast, declaring it an insult to victim of the rape and defamatory to India's public image.

The Moron Mayor of Osaka Speaks: Metaphorical Tomatoes Are Thrown

Toru Hashimoto the mayor of Osaka gave a speech in Tokyo castigating Allied Forces in World War II for setting up military run brothels just like the Japanese Imperial Army did in Asia.  Of course there is no historical evidence to back this morons assertions but that won't impede a racist, ultra-nationalist,  war crimes denier and historical revisionist like Toru Hashimoto.

It's rather amusing that this idiot was once considered to be a future Prime Minister of Japan.

Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto, who was once seen as a future prime minister, argued in a weekend speech that Japan must admit its own historical wrongdoings while also pointing out the mistakes of others, the Mainichi Shimbun said.
“After landing in Normandy, allied soldiers raped French women. ‘Comfort stations’ were built after things became too much,” he said in the speech, using a euphemism for brothels, according to the newspaper.
“It is a historical fact. It is an unfortunate past. We must never repeat it,” he said in the public address.

What ever drugs this classless conservative fool is taking he'd better stop or he'll find himself completely marginalized from politics. Wait, no he won't because the rest of Japan's so called political elite are just like him.
