Quoting Yoaana Gonen: “the humiliation of Palestinian women by our soldiers will yet surface at home, at work, and on your next date”
Israeli soldiers were filmed in a Palestinian home in the West Bank, mocking Palestinian women by playing with their underwear, extending a practice previously documented in Gaza. This behavior is condemned as gender-based violence inherent to the occupation, aiming to dehumanize Palestinians.
Yoaan Gonen criticizes the silence of Israeli women's organizations regarding these actions and warns about the normalization of such behavior within Israeli society and its potential repercussions within Israeli society itself.
[…] We have seen dozens of similar pictures and videos. Soldiers mockingly wave the underwear of Gazan women who have become refugees or were killed. Some of them wear the items and mince around with exaggerated femininity, others explain with a smile that "Arab women are the biggest whores." The novelty in the current video is the fact that it takes place in the West Bank and not in Gaza. Just like combat practices, practices of humiliation are also seeping from Gaza to the West Bank, and don't be surprised if later they also spill into the Green Line territories, directly or indirectly. Hundreds of men, who have learned in the past year that it's funny to use the sexuality and underwear of helpless women to humiliate them in public, will not suddenly forget this when they take off their uniforms. And a society that is silent in the face of these sickening sights is not a good society for women — not even for the women living within it.
