Today there were relatively large protests in Yerevan, with the participation of the Armenian church, against further capitulation to Azerbaijan by the current westernophile government.

Protesters are asking for Nikol Pashinyan, the prime minister trying to turn the country into Ukraine, to resign.

Zelensky promised to stop the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces as soon as he receives Western weapons

During a press conference with the head of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola in Kiev, he also said that Russia “is not doing as well as they thought.”

And then the air raid alarm sounded.

Kiev is dissatisfied that the Germans “attribute the reputation of a martyr and victorious country only to Russia”

According to the Ukrainian consul Tybinka, modern residents of Germany “do not realize and downplay the suffering of Ukraine” in World War II and mention Ukrainians only in the context of cooperation with the Nazis.

ON ISRAELI RAPE OF PALESTINIAN MALES

This article is based on logical inferences from indirect evidence. Even though Israeli rape of Palestinian women is far more often mentioned, this, too, is hard to get information about. Women do not come forward because of the shame they feel. Instead, they keep the festering pain inside. Nevertheless, people expect women to be raped, so they will talk about it in general terms as happening to others, though almost never as a part of their own personal experience.

In the case of men, the challenge of gathering evidence is many orders of magnitude more difficult, because the shame is, itself, many orders of magnitude more difficult to cope with. Men fear that admitting to having been raped will make others perceive them as having somehow become a homosexual. The internal reaction of the male victim is that, having been forcefully penetrated anally by another man or, more commonly, by a stick used by either a man or sometimes a woman, means that they were symbolically forced for the duration of their rape to become a woman. Even for a homosexual man, this type of rape creates a sense of shame just as deep as for a straight man, so deep that the only way to deal with it, as for straight male victims, is to deny its very existence, even to themselves, and to focus, even more strongly than in the case of female victims, on the torture that was experienced. On a deep level, though, the pain will never disappear, but will reappear in disguise in a negative manner, when a person least expects it.

In the case of Israeli rape of female Palestinians, it seems safe to say that the number of actual rapes is at least ten times more than hearsay evidence would suggest. In the case of male rape, it must be at least 100 times more common. Thus, with regard to male rape, although having gone through 100s of stories since 7 October 2023 making mention of male Palestinian prisoners being tortured, only two postings were found where male rape was specifically mentioned, though not as having happened to the person reporting it, but as having happened to someone else. But, the many images of Palestinian men having been stripped to their underpants and kept like that for extended periods of time represents indirect evidence. Anyone who has travelled on a commercial aircraft knows that thorough body checks, even without imaging equipment, does not require near nudity. Besides the intention of shaming the men involved, one must make the inevitable assumption that another purpose was to better target those who would be sexually assaulted later. Taking all of this information together, we can safely assume that the rape of captive Palestinian men is not just two or three over the last seven months, but probably two or three hundred and quite possibly more.

Now, something must be mentioned that many will find hard to accept. Homosexual men have been known to rape women. Straight men have been known to rape other men. Rape is done with the intention of exercising overwhelming physical power over another for the sake of making the other feel humiliated, shamed, and worthless as a human being. Rape, after all, is an exercise of physical domination. It is not an exercise of sexual pleasure.

What is sad, whether we are dealing with male or female victims, is that, without prolonged psychological help, the shame these people feel will continue to live and cause damage to the social interactions these individuals have with other members of the society in which they live. People talk about the physical reconstruction of Palestine after the war is won and the rebuilding begins. It is not too early, however, to begin planning the mental health reconstruction of the Palestinians, and especially the rape victims, both male and female.
