oatmealThe UN report on Israeli security forces and sexual violence puts Israelis in front of a mirror. Some of them are ashamed.
#Ynet is a right wing Zionist outlet. The comments section is not a leftist space. But the most upvoted comment says "a badge of shame this horrific government stuck on us." All 10 highest rated comments blame Ben Gvir and #Netanyahu. Not one disputes the facts in the report.
The shame is real. But look at what it attaches to.
These readers are ashamed of Ben Gvir, because he is a convicted criminal with a history of extremism. They are ashamed this happened under Netanyahu. They worry about Israel's image abroad. But the occupation itself is not questioned. The genocide in #Gaza is not questioned. The framing is: our people did bad things, and it makes us look bad. The underlying project is never put on trial.
The official propaganda from Danon and the Foreign Ministry says the UN is antisemitic and corrupt. Those comments exist on the site too. They get downvoted. So the party line fails, but the alternative is not solidarity with Palestinians. It is a more competent, less embarrassing management of the same apparatus.
A mirror was held up. Some Israelis flinched. But mostly at the reflection of their own government's incompetence, not at what the apparatus actually does.

דוח האו"ם המלא: צה"ל, שב"ס והמשטרה אחראים לאונס, עירום כפוי וירי באיברי מין
האו"ם מאשים את כוחות הביטחון של ישראל באלימות מינית חמורה, ומכניס אותם לרשימה השחורה שבה נמצאים גם חמאס, דאעש ואל-קאעידה. ימ"מ, יחידת כת"ר המובחרת של שב"ס וגם כוח 100 הוזכרו ספציפית בדוח האו"ם, שציין את העובדה שכתב האישום נגד החיילים בשדה תימן בוטל "למרות התיעוד והראיות". משרד החוץ: "ניסיון ליצור סימטריה מזויפת בין ישראל לזוועות של חמאס"
