Claim: Israel’s broader policy of sexual/gender-based violence
Since late 2023, a narrative has circulated via UN investigations, human rights NGOs, and news reports that Israeli security forces and, in some instances, settlers have used sexual or gender-based violence (SGBV) against Palestinians in detention and beyond (e.g., during raids, at checkpoints). The UN Human Rights Council’s Commission of Inquiry (COI) explicitly framed the alleged SGBV as systematic and tied to broader state conduct, while Israel’s government and military categorically reject any claim of a state policy and note ongoing investigations and judicial oversight. The claim’s spread owes to the COI’s March 13, 2025 release, subsequent NGO endorsements, survivor testimonies, and international media coverage, countered by official Israeli denials and uneven legal case outcomes.
Secret evidence and Palestinian defense rights
Advocacy groups, NGOs, and some UN bodies allege that Israel routinely relies on classified evidence in administrative detention and certain security proceedings, which is withheld from detainees and their lawyers. They argue this practice prevents detainees from knowing or contesting the case against them. The claim circulates widely in NGO reports, press, and social media as an emblem of systemic due‑process deficits affecting Palestinians under Israeli control, especially in the West Bank military courts and in administrative detention inside Israel.
“Israel uses torture as state policy”
The allegation asserts that Israeli authorities authorize or systematically direct torture of Palestinians and other detainees as an official policy. The claim circulates via NGO reports, activist statements, and press coverage—especially after October 7, 2023—citing historical authorization (e.g., 1987 Landau Commission) and recent abuse allegations at Sde Teiman and within prisons.
Does Israel kidnap Palestinian children as ‘hostages’?
The claim equates Israel’s detention of Palestinian minors (mainly from the West Bank/East Jerusalem, and some from Gaza post–Oct. 7) with ‘kidnapping’ and ‘hostage‑taking’. It circulates in speeches, social posts, and advocacy framing around prisoner exchanges.
