> is Israeli society, by supporting this woman, perhaps expressing support for punishing rapists and mass murderers, even where such punishment does not entirely follow the rules? It’s unclear what woman you refer to, but anyway I don’t think there is enough “support for punishing rapists” to cancel out the riots in support of the alleged rapists, or the government, military, and media campaign to demonize the whistl…

Re: Israels top military lawyer arrested after she admitted leaking video of abuse
#113The whole situation is so extreme it almost reads like sick parody. Last year there were riots in Israel when some IDF soldiers were arrested for raping prisoners. The riots were in defense of the rapists, and were attended not only by extremist Israeli civilians but also Israeli lawmakers, who stormed the military base where the rapists were being held. The leaker releases a video of some of the abuse and is then ac…

The problem with this argument is that Israel responded militarily to an attack by hamas by attacking fighters using human shields. That is NOT a genocide, according to the human rights conventions. If having civilian victims at all is a war crime then every police officer in the world is a war criminal. But what hamas did on Oct 7 2023, that satisfies without any doubt whatsoever every last requirement for genocide.…
The problem I have lies less in killing human shields employed by Hamas (which is a terrorist/war crime). The bulk of the genocide is what happend after Isreal's invasion into Gaza, and after Hamas was effectively eliminated as a credible major threat. However, it does not help Isreal's case that they also employed human shields, thus putting themselves on the same level as Hamas.
They added they would refuse any deal that didn't let them keep their weapons, instead they would keep up attacks, despite agreeing to a ceasefire stating otherwise.
One might add that of the 11 points in the ceasefire agreement hamas signed, this one demand violates 5. Just this one action.

It's sad and pathetic how this very public hamas demand is pretty much to an itemized list of what everybody keeps claiming hamas never does, from hiding behind medical services to having zero intention of abiding by peace agreements.

I can find no evidence for the claim that this prisoner was one of the people involved in October 7th. Also, to call shoving a metal tube up a prisoners ass to the point it causes an intestinal rupture “beat up” is incredibly disingenuous.

I think the term you are looking for is “blood libel”, which I haven’t heard until recently. From context, it means “to speak the truth and present irrefutable evidence to back it up”. I guess that’s a crime?
This is the first time I've ever seen someone suggest there was truth to the blood libel. It seems pretty obviously absurd to me that there would exist a Jewish ritual requiring Christian blood. Can you provide this "irrefutable evidence," please?

Re: Israels top military lawyer arrested after she admitted leaking video of abuse
#118I think it is hugely underappreciated that in most of "the west" we can have public media content that is critical of army/politicians/administration and just makes the nation look bad abroad. I'm talking less about "free speech" as a concept and more about how the majority still thinks its worthwhile to have and allow such things even if they hurt. This is not something to take for granted, and I often find people o…

Also, the woman you invoked was likely dead by the time Hamas got her body, so she was not tortured as the Palestinian prisoner in the video was allegedly. Again I don’t really want to do moral calculus, but it does make a difference if you insist on comparing these crimes. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/30/world/middleeast/shani-lo...

#120Israeli soldiers sexually abuse a Palestinian prisoner, while the leaker gets hounded. From settler violence to cases like this, there is little or no accountability anymore in Israel.
