Since October 2023, over 60 Palestinian shepherding communities in the West Bank have been displaced, with at least 14 new outposts built on or near their ruins. One violently expelled community — Wadi Al-Siq — faced abuse that included sexual assault, leading to the disbandment of the Israeli army’s “Desert Frontier” unit.

As +972 reported in August 2023, most of the communities in the territory between Ramallah and Jericho, an area of 150,000 dunams, were forced to flee during the previous months as settlers began rapidly constructing herding outposts and violently descending on residents, all with the backing of the Israeli army and state institutions. Now, only two Palestinian communities — M’arajat and Ras Al-Auja — remain in the entire southern Jordan Valley.

"Christians are the true voice of Jews. In each case, marginalized people are seen as unable to speak for themselves; their voices are only valuable if they cosign or echo those who are not marginalized. Jews, sexual assault survivors, trans people, are not entitled to speak for themselves; they must fall silent before their betters. This is, in fact, a major part of what being marginalized means."

Noah Berlatsky calls mainstream media (and other powerful institutions out) on how they deal with the actual voices of the marginalized as the report on the issues of the marginalized:

"[For mainstream media,] cis people are better able to speak for trans people than trans people themselves; people who have not experienced sexual assault are better able to understand sexual assault than survivors;"

As Charles Pierce notes, a cloud hangs over the new papacy due to Prevost's actions in shielding a sexual abuser of minors in the past:

"Those clouds never will part. Leo XIV will have to live with them over his head for the rest of his life. So will the church he now leads."

Survivors of sexual abuse by pastoral authority figures are already — and rightly so — speaking out about this. They won't and shouldn't stop doing so.

"Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors," the statement said. “In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight."

"The world sees an ancient rite and is led to believe that it is fine and dandy to exclude women and out gay men from leadership, and to perpetuate a system in which sexual predators are granted positions of power and access. I invite fair-minded observers to watch the proceedings through the eyes of progressive Catholic women, LGBTQIA+ Catholics, and survivors of clergy sexual abusers."

I feel very very sad to read this today. Virginia clearly had so many problems, and I’m pretty sure we all have an idea why. The article says she committed suicide, but in reality she was killed by a group of truly horrible people…

"When white smoke emerges from the Sistine Chapel, the new pontiff will have no credibility with survivors if he has a history of having enabled sexual abuse by concealing it from the public and allowing perpetrators to remain in ministry in any capacity."

#Palestinian Women 'Raped by Israeli Soldiers.' Silence From Western #Media

Women are routinely sexually abused during home invasions by the Israeli military. They’re forced to disrobe – sometimes in front of their male relatives – and adopt humiliating poses for the soldiers to film them, Khraim said. During some #WestBank home invasions, the other advocate testified, Israeli soldiers touched Palestinian women sexually and threatened them with rape, all while their male relatives were handcuffed. The soldiers “make sexual noises and gestures, threaten to rape [the woman] even, doing this in front of [her male relatives] while they're being handcuffed or blindfolded, not able to stop it, not able to protect [their] daughter, sister, whatever it may be. It's a form to not only control the woman, but also control the men as well, and break up the family and, in turn, break up society as a whole.”

“Rape was mainly done by Israeli female officers inserting objects inside genitals” of the detained, Khraim testified. The female Israeli soldiers raped both men and women, photographing and often filming the assaults.

FRANCE 24 · French ex-surgeon Le Scouarnec on trial for sex abuse admits guilt for all 299 victimsBy FRANCE 24

A man has confessed to fifteen rapes after drugging his victims. The 34-year-old suspect is a landscaper by profession and has no criminal record. According to the prosecutor in Montpellier, he "admitted to filming the events and acting under the influence of cocaine." In January, two women filed a complaint at a police station in Southern France, claiming they had been raped at home by their landscaper.
