JUST IN: Testimonies about children who were raped in cemeteries and forests in Israel: New and unimaginable evidence of abuse of minors during religious ceremonies was revealed in a Knesset debate - "We were raped while tied up and a whip and an electric shocker were used," said one participant in the debate, Another participant said: "I dropped hints that only a blind person would not see". About two months after unimaginable evidence was revealed in the Knesset of how girls were raped in religious ceremonies over the years , the Committee for the Advancement of the Status of Women and the Committee for Youth Affairs held a joint follow-up discussion on the subject today (Sunday). At the beginning of the debate, the chairmen of MK Pnina Tamano-Shata (Blue and White) and MK Naama Lazimi (Democrats) called on the Knesset to prevent the appointment of MK Hanoch Milbitsky as chairman of the Finance Committee. MK Tamano-Shata said: "The Knesset needs to send a very clear message that someone who is suspected and investigated for such serious and serious offenses as sexual offenses, extortion, and obstruction of justice has no place in receiving a powerful appointment." MK Lazimi said: "The chairman of the Finance Committee cannot be a suspect in such serious and extreme cases. I also don't want to think about the blackmail mechanisms that exist in his being in such a sensitive and important position. It is very, very disturbing that no one from the coalition has said anything about such suspicions." S., one of the participants in the discussion, told the committee: "I wasn't here last time, but I want to share my testimony because of the importance of the issue. I came with a lot of concerns. I know that I could pay a heavy price for what I'm doing now, and I'm dealing with one of the prohibitions that was imposed on me as a child, that I'm not allowed to tell, but I feel like I'm doing the right thing. I can't sit back and do nothing, because there are children who are being harmed now and maybe we can save them or at least listen to them in real time." I was a little girl, about 5 years old when it started," continued S. "I was harmed for at least 4 years, an unbearably violent harm. I often ask myself how I could have gotten out of it alive. The level of violence could certainly have made it impossible, physical, sexual and mental violence. The harm was organized, group, with many religious characteristics, and involved educators, religious leaders... It happened in various places - a closed room, a forest, a synagogue, a cemetery and a school." S. described: "Many of the abuses involved other boys and girls. I can still hear in my head the cries of pain and fear of the boys and girls who were abused near me. They knew how to use the right manipulations, which would make a little girl do whatever they told her. They always made sure to keep saying that I was the bad one, that I was born broken and that this was the way to fix me. If they don't fix me, the world will be damaged. Try to imagine how much weight that little girl had. They used religious terms like the name of the Lord, mikveh, altar, ekida, blessings and prayer. The hierarchy between them was clear. The rabbi who was leading the proceedings was interested, his assistants and the order of the adults who raped me one after the other. They used every way to scare and humiliate me, always without clothes, in every way, using a whip and an electric shocker, raping me in different and strange ways, threatening what would happen if I cried in the middle of the night, and what would happen if I told. They used forbidden substances, punishments if I didn't do what they told me, and they made the abuse seem like a crime. This "A very general description, and a few minutes cannot contain the magnitude of the story, and the intensity of the impact."
