Comments on rape

In July 2024, after far-right protestors, including several members of the Knesset, stormed the Sde Teiman detention camp and rioted at the Beit Lid base, the headquarters of Israel's military courts and military police because the Israeli Military Police detained nine soldiers after international reports of widespread torture and sexual abuses against Palestinian detainees, Milwidsky announced a "voting strike" in the Knesset. During the debate

Milwidsky was asked if it was legitimate for Israeli soldiers to rape Palestinians by inserting a stick into the victim's rectum. Milwidsky responded "Yes! If he is a Nukhba [Hamas militant], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!”[5] [6] [7] [8]
