What is a tankie?

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.

    That’s my comment, where I replied to you, with a source from the United Nations. I’ll highlight the relevant… title of the page… for you:

    “Reasonable Grounds to Believe Conflict-Related Sexual Violence Occurred in Israel During 7 October Attacks, Senior UN Official Tells Security Council”

    I also included an APNews article about this very topic, and addresses the ways that disinformation regarding sexual violence in this conflict about. Here’s the headline of that article:

    “How 2 debunked accounts of sexual violence on Oct. 7 fueled a global dispute over Israel-Hamas war”

    Edit: here is the actual UN report: https://www.un.org/sexualviolenceinconflict/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/report/mission-report-official-visit-of-the-office-of-the-srsg-svc-to-israel-and-the-occupied-west-bank-29-january-14-february-2024/20240304-Israel-oWB-CRSV-report.pdf

      The report states that any testimonies do not count as evidence as a UN investigation (which this is not) would have to take place. Israel is blocking the UN rape investigation.

      AP massively manufactured consent for israel their report is worth nothing as they were spouting those debunked rape lies to begin with.

      And it’s certainly not 2 accounts… It’s far more.

      And the israeli government claimed on BBC that there were survivors of “khamaaas rape” and that they had video, photo and forensic evidence. All which turned out to be lies.

        So you did not read anything I’ve sent you?

        I’ve edited my previous comment, and included the actual UN report.

          Read the first line in my comment again. Israel is blocking the actual UN investigation. Your report specifically states that it is not evidence and cannot be used as evidence.

            That Israel has not provided evidence? Maybe, but irrelevant to our conversation.

            The UN report itself outlines how sexual violence has occurred in this conflict, right from the start.

              Strange because the UN seems to disagree with you. The UN says there is no evidence Hamas raped anyone in this very article:

                I agree that the Oct 7 rape charges are bullshit, but you’re misrepresenting the image you posted: it says there was no investigation and that one would be due to draw any conclusions.

                  There was no investigation. That would require an investigative mandate.

                  It is insane that anyone would believe witnesses provided by the israeli government after a track record of like 10 previous witnesses provided by the israeli government that were proven to be lying.

                    What’s truly insane is how you’re getting downvoted when Israel’s claims have been repeatedly disproven or simply never substantiated.
