A clearer example of reporting on official enemies v allies you could not wish to see

NOW suddenly, the fraudian is all about male sexual assault of prisoners when it's (supposedly) Russia doing it. Guess which country doing exactly the same (documented over and over again) they haven't said a sodding word about? Yeh, that one...
‘Carved on bodies and souls’: survivor tells of Russia’s use of male sexual torture in Ukraine
Oleksii Sivak has set up a support group for others who have suffered widespread but unspoken abuse
Russian troops tortured Oleksii Sivak for weeks, applying electric shocks to his genitals in a freezing basement in his home city of Kherson in punishment for resisting their rule.
When Ukrainian troops freed the city in the autumn of 2022, Sivak was presented with a long list of medical specialists who could help his recovery and asked to tick the ones he needed.
Almost every part of the body and mind was covered, but there were no urologists, doctors who treat male urinary and reproductive organs.
“I asked them: ‘Am I meant to see a gynaecologist?’ I was shocked,” he said. We’ve had a war since 2014 [when Russian proxy forces occupied Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine] and no one had even thought about male victims of sexual violence.”
It was Sivak’s first encounter with a dangerous silence, born of stigma and taboo, about the injuries his Russian jailers had inflicted. It was also his first step toward becoming an activist for a group that has been all but invisible, even as their numbers mount with disturbing speed.
The UN commissioner for human rights has documented hundreds of cases of sexual violence perpetrated by Russian troops since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Two-thirds of the victims are men and boys who were tortured in Russian jails.
Russia deploys systematic sexual torture against Ukrainians, both civilians and prisoners of war, in “almost all” detention centres where they are held, the UN found.
That includes “rape, attempted rape, threats of rape and castration, beatings or the administration of electric shocks to genitals, repeated forced nudity and sexualised humiliation”.
“The numbers in Ukraine are quite startling,” said Charu Lata Hogg, the executive director of the All Survivors Project, which supports men and boys who have endured sexual violence.
The organisation keeps a global database of cases that stretches back three decades, and the scale of new abuse recorded in Ukraine is unprecedented, she said. Sexual violence against men “happens all over the world, but the struggle is always getting documented cases”.
In Ukraine, the UN has recorded 236 incidents of sexual violence against men and two against boys in under three years.
The figures are likely to be the result of Russian forces’ systemic use of torture and Ukrainian authorities’ efforts to support survivors and collect evidence.
“I think we should credit the interviewing methods which support these disclosures,” Hogg said. Returnees “are given psychological support, and interviewed quite soon after release when trauma is high and it is relatively easier for survivors to recount their experiences”.
If Ukraine is setting an impressive example recording this form of Russian torture, it is only just beginning to grapple with its impact....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
Sexual abuse of men is an American fetish, as Gore Vidal pointed out when judges and commentators wished rape on prisoners.The last working-class hero in England.

Graun on UN report of sexual abuses by the IOF: 'alleged sexual violence'
The Guardian has just written the most vile depraved propaganda laundering of the UN report, just outright lying about it. For October 7, they use highly emotive language and state it as fact, but for the much more damning and actual systematic use of sexual violence against Palestinians, The Guardian says it's just "alleged sexual violence", and says it is only "related to forced stripping of men and boys".
This is an outright lie. The UN report did not just say that the "sexual violence" against Palestinians was limited to forced stripping of men and boy. The Guardian is just outright lying. In the October 7 section they hyperfocus "WOMEN, AGAINST WOMEN, WOMEN", when it explicitly says it was not an ordered campaign by Hamas, and they could not prove rape which the Guardian intentionally omits to conflate "sexual violence" with rape in the reader's mind.
In the Israeli section against Palestinians, it explicitly says it is a systematic campaign of sexual violence against CHILDREN, WOMEN as well as men. Not just stripping men and boys from clothing as the Guardian lies like the depraved genocidal scum they are, but "sexualized torture and abuse, and sexual humiliation and harassment. (...) Sexual acts were carried out by force, including under threats, intimidation and other forms of duress, in inherently coercive circumstances due to the armed conflict and the presence of armed Israeli soldiers."
The report only uses the term "sexualized torture" in the section about Israel doing it to Palestinians, but if you read the Guardian report of the UN report, it's like that never happens. That's just what KHAMAS did to Israeli women, even though it's never used in that section.
Zei_squirrel never takes any prisoners but holy shit, they are firing head shots everytime there.
The last time I saw someone so angry was Jonathon Cook after they printed that filth from Jacobson.
The fraudian are beyond disgusting; their "coverage" of the genocide has been the absolute final nail in the coffin of the ghost of their credibility, given that it died a while ago.
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
