At least be consistent; you got annoyed when I pointed out that the articles you posted show that rape is absolutely not an Israeli government position. But this comment takes the opposite tack.
As you grow up, hopefully you’ll learn that reality is a thing and not just whatever suits the argument at hand.
I think it’s fair to say that rape is not an official government position. I think it’s also fair to say that some instances of rape of Palestinians by Israeli forces have been part of the outcome of the occupation of Gaza.
My being honest about the idea that, in the light of what I currently understand, I probably wouldn’t include rape in my comment and only the other crimes, doesn’t mean it’s suddenly not happening, or that Israel’s not responsible for turning loose in Gaza a force of people who in addition to other atrocities seem to sometimes rape people.
Get all condescending about “reality” if you like. It’s still happening. Tell me it’s not.

All crimes they’ve committed? Yes.
