PALESTINE: Sexual Violence, Women`s Bodies, and Israeli Settler Colonialism | Tahrir-ICN
They not only invaded our home, took over our space, and evicted us—they
even arrested me and took me to the Maskubya—the police station. I was
put in room number four, alone, for a long time. Then, a big and tall
man, a police officer, entered the interrogation room. I was alone, and
started shivering from fear as he closed the door, started moving
things around in the room and examining me from head to toe. I was
terrorized, and my heart was beating so fast. His eyes penetrated
my body, as he was opening the drawers looking for something. Then, he
left the room and came back five minutes later holding a box. He
pulled out a pair of blue plastic gloves, and put one on each of his
hands, while looking at me and saying “…Come here…” I must tell you that
I was terrorized when they invaded the house and evicted us. I was
extremely anxious when they arrested my son. But my fears of ‘you know
what’…You know…being abused…being raped by his blue big hands and
more…were the most terrifying moments of my life.[1]
