The author's supposed bias notwithstanding- and it is quite frankly absurd that you think Israelis- not "Jews", Israelis- had done nothing brutal or oppressive to Palestinians before October 7th, but let's set that aside for a moment- can you at least agree that there is no excuse for soldiers anywhere committing rapes, that rape as a military tactic is unacceptable? Can you show at least the vestigial decency to admit that there is no scenario in which rape can ever be considered "self-defence"?
