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:
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 of war.
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.

That part is still claiming you made a factual claim. And that part is still incorrect.
So, I noted that it is wildly inaccurate and far from a factual claim.
You can’t posit something reprehensible, a few paragraphs later decide you might be wrong and then be annoyed when people correct your original claim.

It’s definitely factual. That’s why I linked to some examples of rape. The occupying forces are committing rape. Want me to try to find more examples? Or do the same for occupation, killing, torture, and systematic dehumanization?
The fact that now that I’ve read up a little bit more, I think it’s genuinely pretty unfair to put that in there in the way that I did, and that context needs to be added, doesn’t change the fact that rape has occurred because of what Israel is doing in the Palestinian territories. It also doesn’t change the overall thesis of what my comment was in the slightest.
The wider point, that us being allowed to have this conversation is a good thing and that forbidding this conversation would be a bad thing, was more my point. I won’t claim to be perfect or right all the time, and I’ll be pretty honest about it if I learn something or realize I got something wrong. But if you want to talk about what Israeli forces are doing in Palestine I’m happy to do that and back up anything I’m saying or have said.
