Senior Israeli defense officials warned earlier this week that “everything” must be done to prevent another war front from opening up, Channel 12 reported on Tuesday.Security officials on Sunday night laid out seven recommendations, which received the backing of Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) head Ronen Bar, according to Channel 12.The security chiefs were said to have urged ministers to authorize the entry of more Palestinian workers from Judea and Samaria into the pre-1967 lines, blaming the rise in terrorism on financial hardship stemming from the decision to revoke permits in the wake of the Oct. 7 massacre.
In 2010, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the Palestinian Ministry of Health and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) issued a report about Palestinian workers in Israel.
This report was only published in Arabic, and it is no longer on the UNFPA website. The archived version is here.
The workers interviewed expressed an obsession with sex and Israeli women - both claiming that Israeli women were seducing them and that some of them felt that having sex with Israeli women was a major goal to be achieved.
From the examples given, they interpreted any Israeli women not being hidden away the way Muslim women are to be a form of sexual harassment and an invitation to sex:
The workers talked about the behavior of the Israeli women towards them, saying sexual harassment is not rare, they talked about it considering that the Israeli society is an open society, and about that they say: “The Israeli women move around with the Arab youth and this is something that is inevitable, in addition to the Jewish women moving around with the Arab youth among the workers is something very normal, especially since this is something normal in the Israeli society, and in the shops you find the Jewish girl at a certain time and she does whatever you want with the Jewish girl in a normal and natural way.”
They regarded any perceived attention by Jewish women to be harassment, but harassment that they were powerless to resist. 77% claimed to have been sexually harassed by Israeli women!
The Arab workers would particularly want to have sex with Jewish women without protection. And they like their victims to be drunk:
"The possibility of sexual relations increases because she is drunk, and thus the process of taming her is very easy, and she goes with anyone because she does not distinguish between Arabs and Jews, and then we quickly take advantage and have sex without caring about protection because it is an opportunity and we must take advantage of it.”
This is effectively rape that is being bragged about, without any negative comment from the UNFPA.
But the most concerning part of the report - one that received no media coverage - was that some of the workers considered sex with Jewish women to be a form of jihad:
Others try to explain having sex with Israeli women as a “jihadist” and vengeful act against the Israelis, and about that they said: “The Jews are open-minded, does he want to be in a room or a bed? Wherever they are, they have sex, in the street, in hidden places, and in any place, it doesn’t matter to them, as long as one has sex. These Israeli women are usually drunk and take drugs, so they have no problem with where they have sex. Some people consider sex with Israeli women to be an act of jihad."
I was working in the “Mahane Yehuda” market, and there was a school for Israeli girls there. The girls would invite us to go to their house because they thought we Arabs were pretty, especially the Russians. One time I went with one to the house, and after a while I stripped her (meaning I had sex with her), and the desire was more for revenge than sex.
The report makes recommendations about educating Palestinian youth about STDs and protection, but there is not a word about teaching them to treat Jewish women with respect. The overwhelming thought is that Jewish women are "asking for it" and therefore deserve to be taken advantage of and sexually abused.
This is what Israel's security professionals are recommending.
