- Title
Restoring Fear - Why Israeli Soldiers Rape.
- Authors
Baroud, Ramzy
- Abstract
The article discusses the use of fear as a political strategy by Israel, particularly in relation to the treatment of Palestinians. It highlights historical instances of massacres, torture, rape, and sexual assault as tactics used to instill fear and drive Palestinians off their land. The article also mentions recent reports by Israeli and Palestinian rights groups documenting cases of torture and abuse in Israeli detention facilities. It argues that Israel's goal is to break the will of the Palestinian people through psychological deterrence, but asserts that Palestinian resilience and active resistance are challenging this strategy.
