Why on earth are specific factual claims about the Israeli government “kind of indistinguishable” etc etc? That’s absolutely wrong. I’d say 100% the same thing whatever religion or whatever ethnicity the people in charge of Israel were.
IDF soldier imprisoned for rape after several earlier sexual offences
Palestinian journalist says prisoners are being raped in Israeli jails after he was released
It’s definitely not un heard of. That said, honestly, digging around for stuff to send you as links to respond to you made me realize that yes, I think you’re right that it’s unfair for me to throw that in there. There are like these few isolated cases, and generally there’s punishment for the IDF soldiers involved or otherwise some attempt by the Israeli government to address the situation; it’s a whole different story from the way Hamas has been using rape as an explicit weapon on war. So yeah, I think on that part you’re right.
This is the great stuff that happens when you let people talk about stuff, instead of keeping them inside narrowly defined lanes of allowed viewpoints. Sometimes they learn things. I honestly don’t get what the point of a communication network is, if you’re going to say that you can only type generally widely-acceptable stuff and just share memes and all agree that sunny days are nice.

Read the first paragraph of the first link you submitted “An Israeli Defense Forces officer who has been imprisoned since 2017 for multiple sexual offenses, including the rape of…”
In other words, the Israeli defence force arrested the guy for rape.
If you actually have news that indicates rape is a government policy, then post the article and see what happens.
But, one of the tried and tested approaches for right wing trolling is to lobby a whole bunch of accusations with some nonsense ina semi related thread and force everyone else to go and debunk them ad nauseum, it’s not particularly enjoyable and is exactly why we have moderators.

Bro
I literally said, hey, you’re right, I was wrong, this is good we talked about this. I also told someone else in the thread the same thing as far as the rape-as-an-official-policy allegation. In some other context I’d go back and edit my comment to add context.
Here’s where I said it:
Did you just not read my comment or something? I’m not sure how much better an outcome you could hope for from an internet interaction.

You had multiple comments, I responded one at a time. In future, I’d just delete or edit the original. I’m not going to track down and check each thread you may have participated in etc.

In the parent comment of your comment I was replying to was where I said that.
