One really, really important caveat here is that, The report said that “despite concerted efforts to encourage” victims to come forward, the team was unable to interview any of them. The UN mission was able to review reports, photos, and videos all provided by the Israeli gov’t, but couldn’t find a single victim willing to go on the record.

That’s really, really fuckin’ suspicious. If the sexual violence was systematic, the way that the Israeli gov’t claims, how is it that not even one person is willing to personally talk about it with a UN team?
