Mounted by dogs, penetrated by carrots, and rectums torn by batons.
These are just some of the harrowing testimonies of the rape of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers, detailed by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof in a landmark piece published on Monday.
None of it is new.
Middle East Eye revealed similar testimonies last month, from a report titled “Sexual violence and forcible transfer in the West Bank: How the exploitation of gender dynamics drives displacement,” by the West Bank Protection Consortium.
The group documented at least 16 cases involving sexual crimes perpetrated by Israeli settlers and soldiers.
