During a special joint Knesset session on Tuesday, several women, mainly from the ultra-Orthodox and religious Zionist communities, came forward to testify about years of childhood abuse they suffered during "sadistic sexual rituals" performed in religious ceremonies in Israel. Their testimonies, which also indicate repeated neglect from authorities, are part of a disturbing pattern documented by journalists, trauma experts and NGO leaders.
"You have no idea what ritual abuse is," Yael Shitrit, one of the victims, told committee members. "The human brain cannot process it. You cannot imagine what it is like to program a 3-year-old girl through rape and sadism so that they can do whatever they want without anyone knowing."
As the MKs listened to the survivors' testimony, a number appeared visibly shaken. "This is horrifying," Likud MK Eli Dalal remarked. "The time has come to move from listening to action." He called for immediate action on the part of the police, relevant government ministries and the justice system. "There are helpless children here, and we need to take initiative now," Dalal said.
MK Naama Lazimi of the Democrats party, who also chairs the Youth Affairs Committee, said:
"I couldn't breathe when I learned of a network of ritual abuse of girls, that there could be such a system and dangerous mechanism, and nothing is being done to stop it.”

'Indescribable suffering': The man exposing the horrors of Haredi schools in Israel
These Israelis were sexually abused before Oct. 7. Now they're suffering all over again
He discovered his sister is in an extremist Jewish cult – and set out on a rescue mission
The special session was a joint initiative of the Knesset Committee for the Advancement of the Status of Women and the Special Committee for Youth Affairs. Chairwoman MK Pnina Tamano-Shete of the National Unity Party opened by introducing the impetus for the session - an extensive investigation published in May by Israel Hayom journalist Noam Barkan, which revealed harrowing allegations of organized ritual sexual abuse of children in Israel.
Over a dozen women aged 20-45, primarily from the ultra-Orthodox and religious Zionist communities, contributed to Barkan's report, detailing nearly identical experiences of childhood abuse that involved religious ceremonies, family complicity and systematic torture masked as spiritual rituals. The survivors, who were all children when the abuse occurred, described being drugged, raped, mutilated, filmed and psychologically manipulated through "ceremonies" led by religious figures in which family members, including parents, often participated.
Victims spoke of abuse in homes, synagogues, forests and schools, often framed in religious language and mimicking biblical stories. More than one woman described being forced to take part in a ceremony where the abusers acted out the binding of Isaac, tying her up while they performed a makeshift circumcision ritual on her.
One of the abuse victims who spoke on Tuesday was a woman identified only as "A," who revealed that she was abused by her cousin from the age of 4. By 14, A said she was being tortured and starved by well-known figures in her community. "There were events open to the general public, and there were internal rituals where I was tied to a high pole with handcuffs," she recalled. She went on to describe rituals involving the drinking of menstrual blood, as well as the slaughtering of cats and other animals.
Many speakers addressed the lack of accountability and alleged cover-ups surrounding their cases. "A" said that even after she went to the police with recorded testimony from someone who admitted to abusing her, the woman was not even summoned for questioning. "The police told me I was imagining it," A recounted.
Survivor Yael Ariel, who endured nearly fifteen years of ritual abuse beginning at age five, told the committee that she also eventually filed a police complaint – only to have it closed after a few months. She also said she had heard testimonies from other women alleging that doctors, educators, police officers and both current and former Knesset members were involved in covering up abuse.
"Having our voices heard in the Knesset today is a historic moment," Ariel said.
The women's assertions corroborated Barkan's investigation, which found that despite numerous complaints filed with Israeli police over the years, the overwhelming majority of incidents, especially those that took place in religious communities, like Jerusalem's Nahlaot neighborhood, were closed without indictments.
As a survivor named Noga (all of the victims’ names are changed in the report) recalled:
“The gods I remember are Baal Peor and Ashtoreth... our lord Peor and our lady Ashtoreth.”
(Note: All these deities are categorically condemned in the Bible).

DID ISRAEL DECLARE WAR BECAUSE IRAN HAD HACKED MOSSAD'S "VIP CHILD-RAPE-DATABASE"?:
Allegedly, just days before the Antichrist State of Israel declared war on Iran, Mossad's "VIP child-rape-database" KOMPROMAT had been hacked by Iran. Hence, the war may well be more about preventing this KOMPROMAT data from being revealed because the whole world would then know the true extent of how the Antichrist State of Israel controls the world's puppeticians and decision-makers by PURE BLACKMAIL:

Her report includes interviews with several experts and advocates who accused authorities of negligence, denial and systemic silencing. Many of the victims described being accused of lying, retraumatized by failed investigations and abandoned by legal institutions.
Dr. Naama Goldberg, CEO of "Lo Omdot Mineged" (We Will Not Stand By), has been collecting testimonies of sadistic abuse of children for years. She also used her speaking time to address police negligence. "I submitted written testimonies from five women to the police," Goldberg remarked. "To this day, no one has contacted me."
At the committee session, Lt. Col. Anat Yakir, head of the Crime Victims and Family Division of the Israeli police, attempted to reassure lawmakers and the public: "The system, at its highest levels, is examining the matter," she said. "It is a very high priority for the intelligence division."
At one point, Tamano-Shata challenged Yakir's claim, saying, "Reality shows us the police are not strong when it comes to handling sex crimes. No one wants to talk about brutal rape and children being raped. These are incomprehensible, monstrous cases."
MK Matti Sarfati Harkabi of Yesh Atid described the testimonies as an earthquake. "I can't process what I'm hearing," she said. "This is one of the most important hearings the committee has ever held. I couldn't have imagined a reality like this even in my worst nightmare."
Lazimi concluded the session with a pledge to conduct follow-up hearings. "We want data, and we will not allow a cover-up," she said in closing. "We will request information from the police, the State Prosecutor's Office, the Welfare Ministry and the Education Ministry.
"This is a national issue, and in the next hearing, the police commissioner must be present – because we are talking about a child trafficking network."

Israel Hayom:
'Bottom of Darkness': Children raped in ritual ceremonies expose the horrors
Multiple women recount organized abuse including ritual ceremonies conducted by people they knew, even close family members – after months of interviews with victims, their families, treatment professionals and experts in Israel and abroad, a disturbing picture emerges with descriptions difficult to read.
"Crime without witnesses"
Beyond the women who dared to meet and speak with Israel Hayom, professionals possess information about additional victims who report sadistic ritual abuse during childhood. The content emerging from these accounts shows remarkable similarities. From all gathered information, it appears that in most cases, the sexual abuse began in very early childhood at home, perpetrated by a father, grandfather, or other family member. In other cases, the abuse occurred in educational or therapeutic settings.

What ‘god’ Are Israeli Jews Really Woshiping?
Admiin wrote:
Israel Hayom [Israel Today] is Israel's most read newspaper, with 29.4% of the country (according to a 2023 survey) reading it daily.
Is the strike against Iran, at least in part, a distraction from what is revealed in this article?
Or is war just an integral part of this "faith"?
"...she was in a "cult" that conducted organized ritual child abuse until she reached late childhood, explains that "there exists some agreement with the gods. The entire theory revolves around 'correction.'
The phrase 'the great correction' recurs constantly. To achieve the great correction, one must suffer, primarily because suffering purifies and advances redemption...
"The gods I remember are Baal Peor and Ashtoreth.
I vaguely recall statues. I remember them saying 'our lord Peor and our lady Ashtoreth.' What makes this truly disturbing is that these are observant Jews who meticulously follow Jewish commandments, minor and major alike, not as a performance.

Editor’s Note:
Baal Peor, or the Baal of Peor, was a local deity worshiped by the Moabites. When the Israelites, following Moses to the Promised Land, were in the vicinity of Peor, some of them fell into idolatry and worshiped Baal Peor. As a result of their sin, the men of Israel were judged by God.
What was Baal Peor in the Bible?
Excerpt:
In Numbers 25, we find that the women of Moab began to seduce the men of Israel to sexual sin and to sacrifice to their gods. Since the gods of the pagans were often fertility gods, the “worship” often involved sexual acts.
The incident is recorded in Numbers 25:1–3: “While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite women, who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed down before these gods. So Israel yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor. And the Lord’s anger burned against them.”
As a judgment against the Israelites’ sin, God sent a plague among the people (verse 9).
According to Numbers 31:16, the women did this on the advice of Balaam. It appears that, since he could not curse Israel, he found another way to fulfill the wishes of Balaak, who was paying him. Balaam knew that, if the Israelite men could be seduced into idol worship, that God Himself would curse them.
The word peor simply means “opening” and is the name of the place (a mountain or a spot on a mountain) from which Balaak and Balaam observed the camp of Israel. The meaning of the word may or may not be significant to the naming of the place. (Perhaps there was a cave opening there or some kind of mountain pass, or perhaps the place was called Peor for some other reason.)
The word baal is simply the word for “lord,” “master,” or “ruler.” Baal became a technical or semi-technical name for the gods of the Canaanites. There was not just one god named Baal, but there were many Baals (many Canaanite “lords”).
That is why Numbers 25:3 in the NIV does not use “Baal Peor” as if it were a proper name for a god but uses the term more as a description: “the Baal of Peor,” which could also be translated “the Lord of Peor” or “Lord of the Opening.”
Peor might refer to the mountain top from which Balaam and Balaak observed Israel, or it could have something to do with the literal meaning of the word peor (opening), which, in the context of Canaanite worship (and the context of Numbers 25), could have a sexual or scatological connotation.
Perhaps the top of the mountain was called Peor because that is where the sexual rites took place.

Ashtoreth is one of the main false gods mentioned in the Old Testament. Different groups have different thoughts on who Ashtoreth was and what she was associated with. Still, most modern consensus agrees that Ashtoreth’s name in scripture is a corruption of the name Astarte and that she was one of the chief female deities found in the region of Canaan.
So who are modern Jews really worshipping?
In occult literature, Ba'al is the Devil (who demands human sacrifice) and Ashtoreth (aka Ashtaroth)is one of the Dukes of Hell :
Astaroth illustration from the Dictionnaire Infernal (1818)
Astaroth (also Ashtaroth, Astarot and Astetoth), in demonology, is considered to be the Great Duke of Hell. He is described as a male figure, most likely named after the unrelated Near Eastern goddess Astarte."
This revelation of Ba’al worship in Israel certainly goes far in explaining Netanyahu's penchant for the slaughter of innocent people as in Gaza and in the 9/11 Attacks
