There have been multiple calls for investigation into the alleged oct 7th rape claim, with Hamas agreeing to it, indeed even issuing calls for it. To this day, the Israeli Government has done nothing but reject those calls and refuse to cooperate.
That doesn’t mean that in all of the craziness that took place that day, absolutely no errant knave did something horrific. But the idea of it being a strategic, planned, widespread part of the attack is ludicrous in the extreme. And as of yet, there’s been no official reports, hence no evidence, not even a reliable first hand account.
I don’t get how people haven’t figured out yet that nation states have a long, proven history of inventing atrocities to justify their own. Belgian babies ripped limb from limb, Kurdish babies on a cold hospital floor, russian troops popping viagra like m&ms - it’s a longer list than that of course, but…..
It’s also likely that Hamas engage in atrocity exaggeration too, but once you start getting UN special reports into it, then odds are this is surely happening. And it’s hardly surprising right, i mean, again - nation states have a long, proven history of being vicious bastards to their prisoners, especially in situations like this (which I refuse to call a war)
But but but I saw it in the NYT! Bari Weis talked about it, she’s female and independent and she hated covid policy, Maddow was crying on CNN. Those mass rapes happened!!! They did! Shut up you Anti-Semitic Patriarchal Rape Wizard, how dare you insist on a shred of evidence…..
I love it when comments double the size of my post!
I dig part of Bari, her walking away from MSM, her calmer approach to liberalism, and her 'Karen' episode is a standout, but she has a history of Zionism.
Damn, I missed Maddow wailing, hopefully something like: "People used to believe my propaganda, now they know the truth they don't worship me."
I dug Bari, but I can’t see beyond anyone supporting this horror. Her reporting immediately after Oct 7th was insane - all that 9/11 shit.
I’m all for differing opinions, i’m old enough now to not need anyone reinforcing what i think - i kind of like the challenge. But this, this for me is one of those issues…. It’s like if you met the most beautiful person in your life and 5 minutes into the conversation they said “i can’t stand black people” - that’s it right, end of conversation and what was a blossoming friendship. You just walk away and leave them to work it out.
"It’s like if you met the most beautiful person in your life and 5 minutes into the conversation they said 'I can’t stand black people.'"
Well framed, that's something everyone can understand.
I walked away from her about a year ago, when I was looking up her younger self, and her questionable actions. I was deeply disappointed, having though she, along with Andrew Sullivan, were redeemers of the left.
"Rape,is a fortune of war" So said the leader of Serbia. Being hung for war crimes is also a fortune of war.
When not even hanging stops mankind from doing the things that normal humans wouldn't think of doing, should w adapt a new species category? Maybe Homo Disgustus?
This is an interesting read. I realise it touches upon testy ground but I thought the premise of the Biblical nature in Zionist and Israeli/Jewish culture was interesting, particularly given the recent theological spewings by the supposedly atheist Netanyahu about Marmalek.
I have no doubt there are cellular memories which may be passed on and it is also clear that religions and cultures create certain mentalities.
It's hard for 'cultureless' me to comprehend someone born into a 1000-2000-yr-old culture.
Netanhayu is like many leaders who understand that religion is a weapon. From Constantinople to Putin, the differentiation being whether its used to unite for societal good or destruction. Some, like Trump, are different in that sociopathy is the selfish motivator, but I loved that link you shared, that collective psychopathy involves non-pyschopaths.
Yes I thought that was a salient port. The reality is that all of us are descended from cultures as old as the rest because we all share the same relatively small group of distant ancestors.
Yes, a religion may constrain cultural evolution and retain aspects from ancient times but all cultures have the same source.
I think Netanyahu is an opportunist who has rat cunning but not high levels of intelligence.
But but but…
Mad isn’t it.

If only crimes were matched by punishment.
