00:00You mentioned sexual violence. I was part of the human rights vetting process for arms going to
00:05Israel, and a charity called Defense of Children International Palestine drew our attention at the
00:10State Department to the sexual assault, actually the rape of a 13-year-old boy that occurred in
00:15an Israeli prison in the Moscovia in Jerusalem. We examined these allegations. We believed they
00:21were credible. We put them to the government of Israel. And you know what happened the next day?
00:26The IDF went into the DCIP offices and removed all their computers and declared them a terrorist
00:33entity. I think it is vital that atrocities not happen to anyone, not sexual atrocities,
00:39not sexual violations, not any kind of gross violation of human rights.
