“Is it allowed nowadays for an IDF [Israeli army] soldier, for example, to rape girls during battle, or is such a thing forbidden?” Krim was asked. He answered: “Even though fraternizing with a gentile woman is a very serious matter, it was permitted during wartime … the Torah permitted the individual to satisfy the evil urge.”
Fun fact: As of 2023, Palestinians recieve twice the punishment in sexually related crimes as Israeli perpetrators because being Israeli makes it less bad, obviously
A quick google search shows this is not a true statement. There has been no change in the definition of sexual assault or rape in Israel, and it does not explicitly refer to Jewish women. This is ragebait and nothing more. That said, as you might imagine, Palestinians get twice as long sentences for rape as Israeli Jews do, if the latter even get tried and convicted (See IDF rapist pieces of shit walking free even when there's video evidence of their crime)
The last time the definition of rape was adjusted was in 2025 and that was to include men as potential victims while removing the archaic term 'sodomy' from their laws. There is nothing in the written laws like what this post is claiming. The problem is in how they're enforced.
It was a court ruling not a law update. Although you're right that it doesn't specify women. But the ruling effectively sets precedent that raping Palestinians is legally acceptable.
This is part of why people were protesting so hard in Israel before Oct 7 (which became a great distraction for Netanyahu) is that the judges and courts were being undermined so they do not have the power:
Everyone born in Israel is conscripted into mandatory military service, so they are all conditioned to think rape and torture are just fine and dandy. Except the Orthodox Jews, I believe. I think they get a religious exemption, which is ... interesting
It's a mostly-conscript army of Israeli citizens. As the only right guaranteed under Israeli law is the Right of Return, there are a large number of people from other places like the States and Europe doing their mandatory stint in the IDF.
I do wonder if this was the exact wording (to confirm, I mean, nobody lies on the internet, but just in case this is the first), but, this absolutely needs to be the top comment..
Did Israel's court officially rule that the definition of rape only includes Jewish women? Apparently not, so let's not spread false news, especially when there are so many real and confirmed atrocities reported by credible sources that we don't need additional, counter productive, made up shit.
Thats not exactly what happened though. To be exact it looks like the case was dropped for political reasons. There is no "Offical ruling" like this post seems to state
"it is permitted to "breach" the walls of modesty and "satisfy the evil inclination by lying with attractive Gentile women against their will, out of consideration for the difficulties faced by the soldiers and for overall success"
He then later said his words were taken out of context but uhh...there really isn't a context where its okay so...
thank you for the context.. and.. yeah, no amount of context fixes that statement.. (I imagine he meant 'in the context that no non zionist hears me say this')
I'm pretty sure he wants homosexuality to be illegal as well. Unless you're a Jewish woman, you're fucked. If the accused is a man, he would eant them locked up for "sodomy". If the accused is a non-Jewish woman, he will have her locked up for "terrorism".
It's not a gift. It's an obligation. Teach some Trumpanzees and offer a reward. Gay sex, forcibly, on Bibi, isn't gay. Plus a million Euros or some shit. Bonus points if it's a (centurion?) from ancient Egypt. /s. Rape bad. I just hate what is happening and feel powerless to stop it.
Yup same, I don't see anything on this and it feels like it would have been picked up by news stations. And this is the issue with social media. People just make up stuff and people believe it because they can't be bothered to do research.
There is a fairly new law passed in August of 2023 (before Oct 7), that doubles the sentence for Palestinian citizens of Israel if they sexually assault a Jewish woman:
Here's a BBC article https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-36775036 and if you want more in-depth coverage of what he actually said, here's that too: https://electronicintifada.net/content/meet-israeli-armys-misogynist-chief-rabbi/17481
feels like we've hit a point on the left that's recreating exactly what happened to the right with fox news. i'm seeing more stories being posted from sketchy news outlets with not-great reputations
if you say you can't corroborate the story, you get a similar response: "oh, you didn't see it in the times? that's because they're owned by big corpo." and now the lack of coverage becomes proof the fringe media is correct instead of a giant red flag, just like with fox viewers
Israel ain't really doing anyone any favors on that front. If they weren't committing genocide against Palestinians, people might be more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. But since Israel seems intent on being epic level pieces of shit then things like this article sift through, as it is equally horrible as the things they actually ARE doing. None of it justifies ANY antisemitism, however Israel's antisemitism against the Palestinians—and it IS antisemitism—is emboldening for many.
Most mainstream sources in the provided set treat Palestinians as part of the Semitic-speaking and Levantine peoples: historical summaries identify ancient Canaanites as “Semitic” inhabitants of Palestine, and multiple genetic and historical studies report Palestinians’ close affinity to other Levantine and Semitic groups. ½
That's because it's actually a bullshit claim and nothing but ragebait. But it's something that people will believe of Israel, which is kind of Israel's own fault for being so full of shit.
No. Truth is still truth. You're going down the road of saying it's ok to make up a story because the people you don't like are so bad it doesn't matter. If you do that you'll allow and justify any sort of hate. That's exactly how we get into these situations. I understand being pissed off and frustrated but denying each others humanity is a race to the bottom for all of us.
No, it's a real case. Except the poster claims the victim was raped to death. He suffered severe internal injuries, but he barely survived. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-military-drops-charges-against-soldiers-accused-raping-palestinian there was a different instance, the case of orthopaedic doctor, Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh, who was likely raped to death. But I don't think anyone was arrested for that. The Tweet poster probably conflated the two cases.
Nowhere in that ruling does it state that it is legal to rape Palestinians. Nowhere in that ruling does it state that it's only rape if it's against Israeli Jewish Women. Was someone raped? Yes. Were the charges dropped? Yes. Was it bullshit that the charges were dropped? Absolutely. None of what happened is the same as what was claimed in this post.
Doesn't seem to be the same case, tho? Rape was alleged, but no one was charged for it (only for physical abuse,) it's 5 people, not 9, and the victim, as you point out, survived. Also, the tweet implies (but doesn't say) they raped a woman, and this was a man.
More imporantly, I feel like the lead here is that a court decided "It's only rape when it's against an israeli woman", and the article doesn't mention that.
Even if that article is/was bullshit, Israel is committing so many crimes against Palestinians it doesn’t really matter. They factually rape people in their “prison” system. There are videos.
One of the reasons that the Allies dismissed the holocaust as occurring for so long is because of how much the entente exaggerated the brutality of the rape of belgium in WW1. Propaganda does make people more skeptical of claims
Israel committing such a high amount of crimes is *precisely* why making up new shit is harmful, since it gives them actual grounds to their - largely bullshit - claim of being treated unfairly in the media.
No, the truth matters. Once you start lying and making shit up that you're claiming they do, you're invalidating the evidence of terrible things they ACTUALLY do because no one can believe ANY claims.
