There is no mention of rape, let alone mass-rape, let alone mass-rape that was sanctioned and systematized by Palestinian authorities and venerated by the Palestinian public in the article you linked. That aside, no, the normalization of punitive rape as retribution for war/revenge rape is not the hallmark of a healthy society, particularly one that anoints itself a beacon of post-Enlightenment, secular, liberal demo…

They were forced to disband, lay down their arms and merge into pre-existing IDF, specifically because the methods are not acceptable, some of them declined and had to be disbanded by force.
'As head of the Irgun, he targeted the British in Palestine,[3] with a notable attack being the King David Hotel bombing. Later, the Irgun fought the Arabs during the 1947–48 civil war in Mandatory Palestine and, as its chief, Begin was described by the British government as the "leader of the notorious terrorist organisation".'

Why can't we believe that? There are rallies for rapists in other countries. The current US president...
Seems like you either don’t understand math and what the word “average” means or you are just being inflammatory.

Did you know that Menachim Begin, the first prime minister of Israel, was the leader of Irgun? 'As head of the Irgun, he targeted the British in Palestine,[3] with a notable attack being the King David Hotel bombing.

The targeting the British happened primarily during the holocaust when British were limiting Jewish migration (which has directly resulted in many many deaths).
The history is complex and it is very easy to find reasons to dismiss people who lived through very difficult times and had to make very difficult choices.

Targeting the British during the Mandate was an act of anti-colonization, not unlike other factions that wanted independence from the British at that time, and the Irgun did warn the British before hand but they did not evacuate the hotel which was the central offices of the British Mandate and the Headquarters of the British Army

There is no rape shown in the video.
It is really a gross thing to do when you try to convince us that what we saw — in that deliberate act of sexual abuse — is not what it is: rape. But what else can I expect from the movement that justifies murder and starvation of children as necessary for peace.

so, you admit that what you said about "knesset debate on right to rape" is lie ?
> A member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, speaking Monday at a meeting of lawmakers, justified the rape and abuse of Palestinian prisoners, shouting angrily at colleagues questioning the alleged behavior that anything was legitimate to do to "terrorists" in custody. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-hamas-war-idf-palestinia...
------------------
Lawmaker Hanoch Milwidsky was asked as he defended the alleged abuse whether it was legitimate, "to insert a stick into a person's rectum?"
"Yes!" he shouted in reply to his fellow parliamentarian. "If he is a Nukhba [Hamas special forces that took active part in october 7th, and did a lot of killing and raping], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!"

do you admit that you lied about " debate in knesset about right to rape" ?

I see barely any Israel discussions on this site, so if it is not symmetrical the main reason for that has to be that the submissions favoring one side or the other are very uneven, which is nobody's fault and not a problem. Especially since even being very generous, those discussions are not a good fit for this site. It's not like you don't have enough places to go if you really want to have one, it really does not…

Yeah yeah, and the 6000 trucks on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing were just standing there for fun. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c0k77xm651jt https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-08-14/ty-article-ma... https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-08-12/ty-article-ma... Even now, during the ceasefire, Israel only allows goods in through Kerem Shalom and Kissufim and keeps the other crossings shut, even though…
I see you're linking to some debunked articles about the gaza starvation hoax. Do you seriously think Israel had a policy of starvation? Obesity is common in gaza; there are restaurants everywhere; there aren't any pictures of starving families; all the pictures of starving kids have turned out to be of kids with serious pre-existing conditions; there have been only about 200 malnutrition related deaths in two years…
How would you even expect this to work? There was a two-year nonstop bombing campaign and an official "total blockade" for several months. How could there possibly be "restaurants everywhere" after that?
Also, Haaretz is an Israeli newspaper itself. Is the conspiracy running so deep?
