A UN-backed report alleges systematic sexual violence against Palestinians in Israeli detention, including rape involving trained dogs, as part of an organised state policy. Israel denies the allegations.
I assume you have a decent source for this, and are not just taking the bible (which advocates the destruction of moloch worshippers down to the last child) or Roman sources (who regarded Carthage as their greatest enemy) at face value, given that this sort of thing is an extremely common form of atrocity propaganda in all eras we have knowledge of including up to the present day. Otherwise, well, I’m sure you can find remains that support the claims of conquistadors that Aztecs sold human flesh in their markets or American claims of millions of dead Uyghurs. To my knowledge we don’t even have particularly good proof that there even was a god called “moloch”, a quick browse says that many modern scholars think the word may have referred to the sacrifice itself, and not a figure of worship.
Moloch (spelled differently) was the god of rain in the Levant. He demanded child sacrifice to ensure adequate rain.
I never knew about this stuff until the Epstein Files came out and they were doing all this fucked-up shit on that island which matched up with the occult, and I don’t mean Alestair Crowley.
All I knew was that nethack had an altar of Moloch and if you messed with it you got hit by disintegration rays.
What a weird thing to cast doubt on. Moloch is the god of child sacrifice.

So no sources, just atrocity propaganda?
