This morally grotesque, DARVO at its finest, travesty of justice mimics that of a Hebrew University study conducted a number of years ago by an Arab Israeli academic, which despite all efforts found zero proof of sexual abuse of Arab Palestinian women by Israeli soldiers. Its conclusion? Jews consider these Arab women subhuman and so refuse to rape them.

It is difficult for any decent person to comprehend the soullless evil required to first deny and then invert/invent such monstrosities.

If you’ve ever wondered how millions of seemingly ordinary people could have enabled centuries of vicious anti Jewish persecution, through the first pre Israel Holocaust and culminating in the Oct 7 massacres and beyond, now you know.

Ugh, that's an ugly statement and far besides the truth.

Jews don't consider Arab women as "subhuman". Rape is simply forbidden in Torah and Talmud.

Yet the study is real.

Jews are also forbidden from consuming even the minutest amount of blood, but the literal blood libel is still alive and well, even in the 21st century.

Since when have such niceties as history, facts and truth mattered one whit to Jew haters? Never have and never will.

Apologies, a Jewish Israeli academic.

From AI:

The study was a 2008 master's thesis by an Israeli Jewish graduate student named Tal Nitzan, not an Arab Israeli academic. Nitzan's thesis, and later related academic articles, analyzed existing literature, human rights reports, and media archives to explore the absence of reported cases of rape of Palestinian women by Israeli soldiers in official records and public discourse.

The core findings and subsequent interpretations were:

Low Incidence of Reported Rape: Nitzan found almost no documented incidences of rape of Arab women by Israeli soldiers in the sources examined.

Controversial Interpretation: Nitzan's controversial argument was that this absence was not a sign of the IDF's morality but rather a result of extreme racism and dehumanization, where the soldiers viewed Palestinian women as "abject" and "sub-human," making sexual violence "unimaginable" or not worth documenting from the perspective of Israeli society or the soldiers themselves.

Interesting.

Article: Nitsán, Tal. 2007. Controlled Occupation: The Rarity of Military Rape in the Israeli–Palestinian Conflict.

Doesn't mention the "subhuman" part anywhere. The conclusion isn't even close to AI.

Considering your journal source is rife with references to the “occupied Palestinian Territories”, “colonial military rule”, “ongoing settler colonialism”, “settler colonial related sexual violence” and the like, I think we can safely place this review amongst the pantheon of antisemitic lies and blood libels so beloved by the regressive left academia, and rely more on the accuracy of the Perplexity AI summary.

You of course will believe whatever you wish.

Any report or research concluding in a blood libel is a worthless piece and should be treated that way.

Do share any link if available. Like to see which Arab Israeli researcher(s) were involved.

Why can't we finally defund and abolish the useless, antisemitic UN?
