Islamist Propaganda Alert. More on this story. "Guantanamo Yemeni claims 'al Qaeda's best video,'" by Jane Sutton for Reuters, October 29:
GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba (Reuters) - A Yemeni prisoner watched an al Qaeda recruiting video with his Guantanamo interrogator and proudly admitted producing the work, the interrogator testified in the U.S. war crimes court on Wednesday."He considered it one of the best propaganda videos al Qaeda has to date," former FBI special agent Ali Soufan testified in the U.S. war crimes trial of defendant Ali Hamza al Bahlul.
Osama bin Laden was so impressed with the video that he promoted Bahlul to become his media secretary, the FBI agent quoted Bahlul as telling him.
Bahlul is on trial at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on charges of conspiring with al Qaeda to commit murderous attacks, soliciting to commit murder and providing material support for terrorism. He faces life in prison if convicted.
Bahlul was captured near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border and sent to the Guantanamo detention center in early 2002. When Soufan showed him the video during an interrogation, Bahlul said it had taken him six months to piece together on his laptop computer using Adobe software, television news images and footage of bin Laden speeches.
The production summarized the state of the Muslim world and blamed America and Israel for all its woes.
It included a segment titled "The Destruction of the American Destroyer USS Cole," praising the suicide bombers who drove an explosives-filled boat into the side of the American warship at the Yemeni port of Aden in 2000. The blast blew a hole in the side of the Cole and killed 17 U.S. sailors.
Prosecutors said the video was shown at al Qaeda camps to persuade trainees that becoming suicide bombers was a righteous cause.
Soufan said Bahlul told him al Qaeda expected the Cole attack would lure a new wave of recruits to the anti U.S.-war that they believed to be the start of Armageddon, the final battle between good and evil.
Prosecutors showed the video to the jury of nine U.S. military officers on Wednesday. It showed starving and crying children, mangled and blood-spattered bodies and scenes of Muslims under attack in Bosnia, Chechnya and the Palestinian territories.
Gruesome images alternated with footage of Osama bin Laden saying, "The Jews are free to do whatever they wish with Muslim women ... the child dies in the arms of his mother."
In the piece, bin Laden urges Muslims to abandon their fear of dying and avenge the bloodshed.
The work is titled in flaming letters and punctuated with the sound of gun blasts, sobbing and Koranic verse. Bahlul used special effects to superimpose a cartoonish blast over a news photograph of the damaged Cole.
Bahlul sat at the defense table beaming with pride during some segments and nodding in agreement at the bin Laden portions. He pounded his fist on the table once at the mention of the defilement of Muslim women.
Soufan testified that Bahlul had told him, "Everything I believe is in that tape."
Bahlul, a slightly built man with a short, dark beard, was denied permission to act as his own attorney. His U.S. military lawyer is honoring his request not to put on any defense in the tribunal that Bahlul previously called "a farce."
His trial is the second full test of the special tribunals created to try non-U.S. citizens outside the regular civilian and military courts.
About 255 suspected members of al Qaeda, the Taliban and associated groups are now being detained at Guantanamo. More than 750 non-U.S. captives suspected of terrorism have been held without trial at the base in the seven years since President George W. Bush declared a war against terrorism.

The irony (if you could call it that), is that Israelis have been scrupulously respectful of Muslim women under their control. Contrast that with the epidemic of rape among Muslims in Afghanistan in the early 90s, Algeria during its 1991-2003 civil war, and Bangladesh in 1970-71.
PS - I should note that hundreds of thousands of Bangladeshi Hindus were raped by Pakistani Muslims in 70-71.
I'd say the accusation against the Israelis is a classic case of projection.
Finally, I left out Darfur, where rape has been employed by Arab Muslims as a systematic form of ethnic cleansing, both by inducing terror, flight and exile, and by diluting the ethnic identity of their African enemies through the deliberate impregnating of their victims, who then produce Arabized offspring.
Cornelius, I think it was a quarter million Bengali women raped by Paki men in the Holocaust, accordig to Abul Kasem. And Israelis are racist because they don't rape Muslim women. I think I read that in here not too long ago. Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Fortunately Israelis don't believe in damnation anyway so it doesn't matter.
It showed starving and crying children, mangled and blood-spattered bodies and scenes of Muslims under attack in Bosnia, Chechnya and the Palestinian territories.
Yeah, whose fault is all the violence in all those places? Did the Russians ever attack the Chechnyans except in self-defense and in order to keep their country together? How about the Serbs? Did they ever start stuff with the Bosnians? How about the Israelis? They're always engaging in offensive battles with the 'Palestinians,' aren't they? Muslims can never take responsibility for their own failures and all the crap they bring upon themselves, let alone do to others. It's disgusting. There's no reasoning with people like that because they don't even live in reality with the rest of us.
Interesting article on muslim arabs raping 8 year old girls in Darfur. Gee, now would possess them to rape little children? I'll sure bet they weren't carrying any alcohol though, after all, they are no doubt the very flower of islam.

"And Israelis are racist because they don't rape Muslim women. I think I read that in here not too long ago."
I remember that one. Unbelievable.
Wasn't the founder of islam a rapist (mostly of Jewish women whose husbands he beheaded), a pedophile (one of his wives was six years old when married), and a genocidal sociopath (wiping out entire tribes in Arabia who refused to accept his as the final prophet? Yes, we should all have a pity party for the fanatics and degenerates who are (so far) unable to destroy us.

Hmmm.
Perhaps McCain is correct. Gitmo need to just "go away".
Along with the inmates.
It showed starving and crying children, mangled and blood-spattered bodies and scenes of Muslims under attack in Bosnia, Chechnya and the Palestinian territories.
And how many of those "bodies" got up and walked away after the cameras were turned off? Never take such "facts" at face value.
"In the piece, bin Laden urges Muslims to abandon their fear of dying and avenge the bloodshed."
Bin Laden should set an example and lead a mass assault on a US firebase...
"The Jews are free to do whatever they wish with Muslim women"-
Hmm, that should REALLY worry every Arab, not only bin Laden.
Am I the only one who sees a whole lot of projection here?
As everyone knows, Israeli soldiers have a code of conduct that they scrupulously adhere to, even at the cost of endangering themselves. Indeed, were I the parent or relative of an Israeli soldier, or simply a citizen of Israel, I'd wish there were a lot less hypertrophied emphasis on this "purity of arms," stuff, and a lot more attention to saving Israeli lives, or not squandering them because to do certain things -- i.e., flatten a neighborhood in Jenin with bombs, as the Americans would quite sensibly have done before moving in, rather than risk the lives, and then lose the lives, of several dozen Israeli soldiers who had to go on foot to look fo terrorists in the old part of town, and had boobytrapped cement walls exploded on top of them, killing almost all of them -- quite unnecessarily.
Bin Laden has it exactly wrong. Israeli soldiers and civilian-soldiers are almost unique in never engaging in rape, and there is not a single example I can think of in the long history of Israel's wars of self-defense. Not a single example of an Arab woman being raped by Israelis -- so very unlike what the Arabs did, and do, to any Jewish women they can capture, and for that matter so unlike what the PLO did to Christian women in Damur and other places in Lebanon where so many PLO atrocities were committed against Maronites, and what Arabs do to Copt women, or Pakistani Muslims have done to Christian Pakistanis, or what Arabs of the northern Sudan have done to black African women in both the south and Darfur.
Indeed, this very fact -- that the Israelis do not rape -- has been frustrating for Israeli leftists, so frustrating that, while having to recognize the absence of rape of Arab women by Israelis, they have at the same time decided to make that very absence into a charge. To wit: the charge of Israeli "racism." Israeli soldiers don't rape, you see, not because they are carefully trained, and hold themselves in check, but because they simply have a "racist" atttitude toward the Arab women.
Indeed, this was made into a thesis by a far-left graduate student, one Ms. Nitzan, working under an even farther-left professor at Hebrew University.
Here's the comical story, with the tragicomical denouement, as narrated in an article by Stephen Plaut:
"It began as just another exercise in political academic wackiness at the Hebrew University.
A graduate student claimed that the absence of any history of rapes of Arab women by Israeli Jewish soldiers proves that the Jews are racists and oppressors, people who do not even regard Arab women as sexually desirable. Such silliness is commonplace these days in academia, and ordinarily no one would have taken much notice. But the student at the Mount Scopus campus and her “research” were then awarded a university honor for her impressive “discoveries.” That drew media attention.
The matter has now become the worst recent scandal in Israeli academia because of the attempt by the heads of the Hebrew University to cover it up, in a manner a bit reminiscent of the worst days of Watergate. Maybe it should be dubbed Scopusgate. The scandal now rivals the “Toaff Affair” in Israel last year, in which a now-retired professor at Bar-Ilan University published “research” in which he claimed that medieval Jews used gentile blood for ceremonial purposes.
The very highest officials of the Hebrew University are themselves now implicated in a dishonest cover-up! The President of the Hebrew University, Professor Menachem Magidor, and the Rector Prof. Haim D. Rabinowitch jointly issued a deliberately false “spin” announcement regarding the MA thesis of the student, claiming that the media had incorrectly described what was in it. Instead of repudiating the student and her “academic advisors,” Magidor and Rabinowitch closed ranks with them and insisted that Nitzan’s “research” represents serious scholarship. The Nitzan Affair simply shows how completely devoid of serious academic standards and quality controls parts of Israeli academia are today.
Hebrew University apologists tried to defuse the cries of outrage over the “research” by claiming that reports about it were all part of some sort of vast right-wing conspiracy. The first two media reports appeared on web sites, one Hebrew and one English, both associated with those on the Israeli Right. The apologists suggested that these were misrepresenting the thesis for political reasons. Then Magidor and Rabinovitch proclaimed that reading the entire thesis would show that it is a serious piece of scholarship. They obviously did not read it.
Well, I have now read the entire thesis (in Hebrew). [You can also, if you read Hebrew] It is not a serious piece of research. It is a disgrace and an embarrassment for all of Israeli academia. The descriptions of it on the two “rightwing” web sites were entirely accurate, and the heads of the Hebrew University simply lied about its contents, in a pathetic attempt at cover-up. While University apologists dismissed complaints about the thesis as tendentious misrepresentation of it by a vast rightwing conspiracy, the rallying in defense of the thesis by the Hebrew University administration and some professors looks a whole lot like a leftwing conspiracy to cover up.
Tal Nitzan was a graduate student in anthropology at the Hebrew University. Her thesis was supervised by anthropology Professor Eyal Ben Ari and by Dr. Edna Lomsky-Feder, from the Hebrew University’s school of education, a leftist with a history of denouncing Israel for its supposed “militarism.” The thesis was evidently also supported by anthropology Prof. Zali Gurevitch, the head of the Shaine Center (and himself an anti-Israel leftist radical), who defended it to the media and made the decision to award it a prize of honors.
Nitzan’s “thesis” is largely a collection of tiresome feminist rhetoric and postmodernist gibberish, not all of it related to rape. The thesis is 206 pages long and tries to appear scholarly by including many long “citations” taken from the fever swamps of radical anthropology and leftist sociology. One has to wade through it with suppressed nausea to get to its main points, and all of the main points are exactly as they were represented in the early media reports; they are at complete odds with the cover-up attempt by the Hebrew University.
Nitzan begins by noting that one should distinguish between organized military rape directly ordered by authorities as a matter of policy, such as in the Bosnian wars, and individual acts of rape by soldiers, which she labels with the nonsensical term “symptomatic rape.” She calls it that I guess because she wants us to think it is a symptom the “racist Zionist system” that is responsible for such crimes. She asserts that the first kind of rape is a form of political policy, whereas the latter kind (the “symptomatic”) is a “direct result of the blurring of social divisions and ethnic-gender barriers” (bear with me here! — SP). She confirms that the first form of organized rape has never been the policy of the Israeli army. She then says that the second form, individual “symptomatic rape,” has replaced the former as a method of humiliation and oppression of Arabs, even when - and especially when - Israeli Jewish soldiers do not do it at all! Hence, she concludes, NOT raping Arab women shows how racist the Jews are.
Nitzan cannot conceive of any rape that is not in and itself a form of establishing political control and defining political power. “Symptomatic rape” for Nitzan is a reflection of the intolerant distancing of the “dominant” group (Jewish men) from the “oppressed” group (Arab men and women). But she then completely turns this “thought” on its head by arguing that abstaining from rape is just as inhumane and oppressive as “symptomatically raping,” and in fact replaces it, because it just serves to reinforce the intolerant attitudes towards Arabs by Jewish soldiers, who think of Arabs as so inferior and horrid that they do not even feel a drive to rape them. Really. “Absence of rape is explained by the social condition in which there is blurring of attitudes towards gender power relations while at the same time social limits… are unambiguous and solid. (page 183)” While giving some shallow lip service to how the “question” of rape refusal is “very complex,” Nitzan’s own “answer” is quite simple and straightforward. And numbingly stupid.
Rape for Nitzan is not violent crime at all but rather is always a manifestation of political plotting by elites. She contradicts herself by noting that, come to think of it, Israeli soldiers do not rape Arab women as individuals either. She then contradicts her own contradictions and claims that the absence of rape by Israeli soldiers is “designed” to achieve the same goals as organized mass rape in other countries and in other wars.
Her “conclusions” are that Israel is so racist and intolerably anti-Arab that abstaining from rape is part and parcel of its way to enforce rigid “lines of division.” She asserts that individual soldiers abstaining from rape represent an intentional policy of oppression roughly similar to when governments order mass rape, because in both cases the “policy” serves to subordinate and dehumanize the oppressed victim population.
The main significance of the thesis as an academic work is in the fact that it illustrates the total collapse of any semblance of academic standards at the Hebrew University. The “thesis” is not worth the disk space on which it is printed. Yet it was not only accepted by the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the Hebrew University, the department in which the late pro-terror anti-Zionist extremist Baruch Kimmerling spent his career fabricating “Palestinian history”, but was even awarded a prestigious award, one evidently financed with contributions from the Shaine family. (I doubt the Shaines have any idea how their generosity was misused by the university!) Atrociously written and constantly contradicting herself, Nitzan would have been laughed out of any university maintaining serious standards, EVEN if she had been writing about a valid and legitimate subject.
The thesis draws its “scientific” conclusions from open interviews with 25 reserve soldiers, ages 23-32, who served as combat troops in the “occupied territories” during the “intifada.” None of the comments by any of these soldiers support or provide any confirmation, even the most indirect, to any of the lunatic “conclusions” by Nitzan. Most of the interview comments concern the day-to-day tactics and experiences of the soldiers. Nitzan then asked the soldiers why no Arab women were raped by Israeli troops. Their responses varied, ranging from assertions of ethical awareness of soldiers to effective disciple. Some noted the presence of media reporters or of NGO groups in the areas of conflict.
Nitzan constantly disregards what the soldiers actually say and instead attributes to them irrational fears and feelings of disgust and snotty superiority when they interact with Arabs (for example, page 53 and following). Long segments of the thesis are rants about how Israel brutally exercises control and suppression of the poor Palestinians.
But since when is asking 25 random soldiers why no rapes take place a scientific way to go about answering the question? The soldiers are not social scientists and are not criminologists. How any MA degree could be awarded to anyone on the basis of having conducted 25 interviews is one of the mysteries that the Hebrew University authorities have yet to explain. The thesis is totally devoid of statistical analysis or empirical testing, even using the rather primitive methodologies popular among some sociologists. At no serious academic institution would such a superficial exercise in baseless long-winded verbiage be accepted as a “research thesis.”
Nitzan’s anti-Israel political bias is also evident throughout. On page 23 she declares that “Imposing control and instilling fear is a frequent practice (by Israel in the ‘Palestinian-Israeli’ conflict) and so it would be expected that military rape should be used as an efficient method for ensuring the security and survival of a Jewish Israel.” On page 53 she asserts that “de-humanization amidst avoiding demonization is one of the most blatant features of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.” [She means by the Jews.] The words “terror” and “terrorist” do not appear even once in the entire thesis. Neither does “bomb,” “bomber,” or “suicide murderer.” No one reading the thesis would have any idea that Israeli military actions in the “territories” have anything to do with suicide bombers and terrorist murderers. The political bias and open political propagandizing should have been more than enough for the thesis to be rejected altogether as pseudo-research. Instead, it got a prize.
The possibility that Israeli soldiers do not rape Arab women because they are simply decent and honorable people, or under effective command by decent and honorable people, is automatically dismissed by Nitzan. After all, there are acts of criminal rape in Israeli civilian society, citing a radical feminist group claiming such sexual abuse is common in Israel, so this could not possibly explain the mystery. How the incidence of such civilian crimes rules out the obvious real explanation for the absence of rape by soldiers is not even the worst logical inconsistency by Nitzan and her supervisors.
Nitzan’s thesis contains the Arab “narrative” about just about everything, including such things as the battle of Deir Yassin. The claims of Bash-Israel “historians” are accepted at face value. Arab propaganda is accepted as “scholarship.” Nevertheless, even these confirm that virtually no rapes of Arab women by Jewish soldiers ever occurred. [One of the few people claiming that a few such rape cases did take place is anti-Israel propagandist Uri Avnery, who is not an academic and is hardly a credible source, although one Nitzan on which is willing to rely.]
Once reports about the Nitzan “research” claiming Jews were racist for NOT raping Arabs began to circulate, the heads of the Hebrew University (the President and Rector together) evidently heard outraged complaints and so issued their own statement concerning it, dated December 30, 2007. It reads, in part: “Thank you for your concern about the thesis of the student Ms. Tal Nitzan. In her thesis, Ms. Nitzan examined a number of explanations for the question why the Israeli army is not involved in rapes, as was so widely done by the Japanese in Korea and more recently by the Europeans in Kosovo and by the Americans in Iraq, just to name a few. IDF soldiers are not involved in raping and other atrocities common to other armies, and Ms. Nitzan examined a number of explanations for this proper behavior. It seems that the source, on which the media reports were based, either did not read the thesis or used sentences that were taken out of context (emphasis in original statement). Below please find excerpts from her work (both in the original Hebrew and the English translation, side by side), providing possible explanations for the question why the Israeli army is not involved in rapes.”
This was followed by three brief citations from the Nitzan thesis in Hebrew with English translation. Sure enough, nothing in the three selections, all taken out of context, is particularly outrageous or anti-Israel. But that is only because in 206 pages of babble, it is unsurprisingly possible to find a handful of sentences that are not offensive. Indeed, Nitzan did mention in passing the wars in Bosnia, Kosovo and Korea, but nearly the entire thesis is dedicated single-mindedly to proving that Jews are racists for NOT raping Arabs. The President and Rector of the Hebrew University did exactly what they disingenuously claimed the media had been doing, selecting non-representative sentences to misrepresent the thesis and make it appear harmless.
Meanwhile not a single feminist organization anywhere has spoken up about this thesis claiming that it is racist when Jews do not rape Arabs. This past spring a gang of Arabs terrorized the Galilee by raping Jewish women for political motives and was apprehended. Some of their victims were children. Nitzan and her professors have nothing to say about THAT wave of politically-motivated rapes. According to Nitzan’s own thesis logic, if a Jewish woman were to be raped by Hamas terrorists, this would pretty much prove that the Hamas are egalitarian and progressive seekers of peace and justice, not treating Jews as the inferior “Other.”
But the most outrageous aspect of this entire scandal is the behavior of the heads of the Hebrew University, defending and endorsing this “research” with a cover-up, and proving that the Hebrew University today, despite one of its retired professors having won a Nobel Prize, has jettisoned academic standards and has lost interest in seeking academic excellence."
So, the bad thing is not that there are pictures of starving children, decapitated muslims etc, the big thing is that someone had the nerve to do what the media fails to do. OK..... HYPOCRITES. Its ok to keep playing images of 9/11 and 7/11 (so rare they are titled by date of that day) but to show images of Iraqi men women and children burnt to death by MK77 is wrong. To show images of building destroyed with limbs on the road is wrong, to highlight the suffering of any one who has fallen victim to terrorism by the fascist USA is wrong. well screw you guys, those pictures exist and reflect a truth the media ignores and most people remain ignorant to.
Images of starvation, decapitation, blood and gore come easy for muslims. Wherever they bump into an opposing viewpoint there is going to be lots of it..along with rape..their favorite activity when not killing.
It’s almost too hard to believe that Israel, who is surrounded by islamic jihadists whose ultimate ambition is the next Holocaust, actually have their own fifth column.
jowen...'War's a bitc-h ain't it'...Instead of coming here and dumping your garbage, why not create your own web site where you can put spew that stuff, and 'maybe' someone will agree with you...
"Sat at the defense table beaming with pride"
No doubt that went unnoticed by the Judges.
The Arab Muslim pogrom upon the Jews in Hebron in 1929, which destroyed that community, included violent Arab Muslim gang rape of young Jewish girls and women which, when it did not go so far as to kill them, left them permanently crippled afterward, according to one person who recorded the aftermath.
And here, cited in Moorehead's biography of Martha Gellhorn, is an excerpt from Martha Gellhorn's notes upon the aftermath of the 1967 war, remarking upon the observed conduct of the Jewish fighters, and upon the observed conduct of the Arab Muslims (especially, their treatment of Jews whom they captured during the fighting):
'They passed burned out tanks, guns, spent shells, lorries with blindfolded prisoners. “Fiercest smell on earth: human dead”, Martha wrote in her notebook, with her usual blend of work and personal observations.
“Sorrow and disgust…There is no swank, no crowing. No Israelis are drunk, no looting, no raping of women…I know Israelis will not torture”…
She went on, {describing what the Arab Muslims did - dda}
“Atrocities:
7 Israeli pilots hung,
1 thrown to crowd, killed with spades,
2 pilots decapitated in Smyrna, heads shown on TV,
girl teletypist, breasts cut off, etc. Made me sick.”
The next day, she returned to the atrocities: ‘6 Arabs caught last night with hand grenades at the Wailing Wall. Got shot at once. Jews are too lenient – will do them no good…Least violent people anywhere”.'
Moorehead, by the way, accuses Gellhorn of being racist and bigoted toward the Poooor Palestinians [TM].
I don't think so. I think Gellhorn was describing facts: facts about the behaviour of one human ethno-cultural group, and facts about the behaviour of another human cultural group.
I was tipped to this parody that appeared at an Israeli website (link give below):

No rapes in IDF: World outrage at Zionist Racism
http://zionism-israel.com/israel_news/2007/12/no-rapes-in-idf-world-outrage-at.html
A report claiming that Israeli soldiers do not rape Palestinian Arab women as part of a sinister racist Zionist plot (see Help! Rape!) has stirred the outrage of world media. Human rights organizations and Palestinian groups greeted the latest evidence of Zionist racism with justifiable rage. Major reactions:
The UN Human Rights Committee, on the initiative of Special Raporteur John Dugard, passed three resolutions condemning Israel for gross Human Rights violations. Commented Dugard, "There is no avoiding the facts. The study showed an appalling and brutal lack of rape on the part of the IDF. Those people are inhuman. When will the world wake up to the depths of Zionist depravity?"
Jewish activist Ben Murrain said, "I am ashamed to be a Jew. This is not the Judaism I know. I was taught to rape everyone."
Rabbi Michael Lerner, spiritual leader of Tikkun, lamented, "This is Judaism? Where is compassion for the other? Where is Tikkun Olam? Where is Ahavas Hazulat? Where is the Shukeenah? The insensitivity of Israeli soldiers to the charms of Palestinian Arab women shows how the occupation has dehumanized those Israelis and distanced them from the humanistic values of Judaism.
By a vote of 143 to 3 (USA, Israel, Micronesia) with 6 abstentions, the UN General Assembly passed a Saudi Arabian initaited resolution condemning Zionism as racism and appointed a committee to monitor the incidence of rape in the IDF and ensure that as many Palestinian Arab women are raped as Israeli Jews. Saudi spokesman Abdul Wahabi Salafi noted, "In our country, we know how to treat women. According to reports, not only does the IDF not rape women, but the Zionist dog judges don't order beatings for raped women either. We are also investigating reports that the racist Zionist regime doesn't allow wife beating. This is an abridgement of Muslim freedom of religion. We will submit a separate resolution about that human rights violation."
Jews against Zionism spokesman Mendel Parashivizhid, back from kissing Mamoud Ahmadinejad, commented, "Typical of those racist Zionists. Not like us true tora Jews - the Netureh Karteh. We'll rape anyone."
Queers for Palestine commented, "The Zionist racist report didn't even mention rape of men. Apparently, the evil IOF don't do that at all. It is despicable."
Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) demanded a special commission to investigate the heinous crime of non-rape of Palestinian women by the IOF (Israel Occupation Forces).
Amnesty International declared that failure to rape Palestinian women had caused an acute humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Former Israeli president Moshe Katsav was quick to distance himself from the behavior of the IDF. "I had nothing to do with this disgraceful behavior. During my tenure in public service I was always an equal opportunity rapist," stated Katsav.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stated, "This dehumanizing behavior is exactly like the humiliation my people suffered for years under Jim Crow laws."
Activist Jeff Halper noted, "This is yet another illustration of Zionist apartheid in action."
The British union of steamfitters, hod carriers, journalists and sex deviants voted to boycott Israel for its racist policy of not raping Palestinian women. Noted one member, "It's outrageous. The Jew bastards said they respect Palestinian women as mothers."
A Belgian court convicted IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi in absentia, on a charge of high war crimes stemming from failure to order the rape of three Palestinian women in 2006. If Ashkenazi ever visits Belgium, he could be arrested and incarcerated for this crime.
In a press release, HRW head Kenneth Roth stated, "It is intolerable that Israeli soldiers continue to not rape Palestinian Arab women with impunity. More than any other army, the IDF is guilty of not raping or mistreating civilians. Israel continues to ignore all world norms of military conduct."
New Profile activist Dorothy Naor commented, "We call on all Israeli soldiers to refuse service until the occupation army starts raping Palestinian women. How can they ignore the human needs of Palestinian women? We demand the right to equal rape for Palestinian women."
In Ha'aretz newspaper, Akiva Eldar commented, "Once again it has been shown that while the government may want peace and friendly relations, the military is sabotaging government policy. While the government is promoting closer relations with Palestinians, the Army has been teaching its soldiers to stay away from them."
Machsom watch volunteers commented, "We have been complaining about this humiliating behavior at checkpoints for years. Time after time, luscious female Palestine suicide bombers flaunt their charms at IDF soldiers, but the callous IDF soldiers ignore them. There is no excuse. We will not remain silent. This is truly dehumanizing."
Christian Peace Teams Hebron condemned the IDF policy. A CPT spokesperson noted that non-rape of Palestinian women is typical of Jewish exclusivism. She further noted and denounced the existence of the pernicious Ethical Code of the IDF. "The only code anyone needs is the teachings of Jesus Christ. If IDF followed Jesus this wouldn't be happening. He said 'Love they neighbor as thyself.'"
In Al-Ahram, Khaled Amayreh condemned the failure of the Zionist occupation forces to succumb to the charms of Palestinian women. "The Jewish Talmud and the Chesronot Shas teach the evil Jews that goyim are subhuman," charged Amayreh. Amayreh's story got top billing in the Egyptian supported government paper. The US State Department asked congress to double the US aid subsidy to Egypt.
I was about to post "I am sick of this bullshit. I hope a million Americans get murdered by Muslims so that we can wake up to this madness" -- but then I hesitated and cooled my temper, but not necessarily my mind.
His U.S. military lawyer is honoring his request not to put on any defense in the tribunal that Bahlul previously called "a farce."

Hugh's second post - LOL!
How come no one cheered here for the Swedish women who get to be raped all the time by the "youth" gangs? Good on them for having an understanding Socialist government that encourages recreational rape to mollify the "youth".

This correction has been brought to you by the quick-eyed editors of the multi-directional (our eyes turn both ways) bi-monthly Zeitschrift für Rechts und Links, published by the Internationale Vereinigung für Rechts und Links, which also appears in French as Le droit de la gauche. The same editors, incidentally, are responsible for publishing in book-form, and in English as well as German, an authoritative compilation of relevant statutes and case-law (updated with pocket parts every six months) on the subject, used in so many American law schools, “The Right Not T Be Left Out.”
The oversight by the poster offers an occasion for re-proof, that is for proving yet again the truth of the old adage: Sometimes the links hand doesn't know what the rechts hand is doing.
Israeli soldiers don't rape, you see, not because they are carefully trained, and hold themselves in check, but because they simply have a "racist" atttitude toward the Arab women.

In other words, even though Israelis do the right thing, they do it for the wrong reason. There's no winning.
Thanks for the laugh, Hugh. Great way to start the day.
A graduate student claimed that the absence of any history of rapes of Arab women by Israeli Jewish soldiers proves that the Jews are racists and oppressors, people who do not even regard Arab women as sexually desirable.
by Hugh
A graduate student? Haven't people in academia insisted that there is NOTHING sexual about rape, that it is nothing more than violence against women? Where is NOW?
My bad, Hugh. I scrolled through both long-ass posts of yours in someone else's voice and thought they were one and the same.
PMK, women's studies departments are so in cahoots with Saudi Agenda departments it's not even funny. You would think that only Christians persecute women. Man, do they hate Christians. They hate Jews too but they don't openly rail against Judaism. They just treat Jews like me like crap when we write the Gender Incidents Team, which is run by women's studies professors and staff, when we get stalked by Muslims so they can ignore us and offer to threaten our stalkers/harassers with repeated chats.
If Islamists say that a lack of rape on the part of Jews is violence and racism then women's studies idiots swallow that pill whole and spew it right back at anyone who will listen. Mike S. Adams wrote a great book called 'Feminists Say the Darndest Things' about idiots like that who give feminists a bad name by advocating retarded programs like masturbation workshops, standing up for women who falsely accuse men of rape, defending women who wear headscarfs but actively screwing over Christian and especially Jewish women who get stalked and harassed by Muslims, etc. Psych professors are just as bad.
"long-ass posts"

Perhaps those strictures about "What This Site Is For," with its passing note on verbal decorum, needs to be re-posted.
Decorum, as in "dulce et decorum est..."
Atrociously written and constantly contradicting herself, Nitzan would have been laughed out of any university maintaining serious standards, EVEN if she had been writing about a valid and legitimate subject.

jdamn,
This suggests that Hugh is being too generous. Based on what you say, most American universities probably would praise output such as this.
How many of the WS professors have already translated this report into English and are preparing to use it in their course material? Someone must already be writing a book on the subject.
The Muslims complain that Israelis are racist for not raping Arab women. But what would be the fate of a Muslim woman who was raped by an Israeli, especially if she was impregnated?
Is an honor killing in her immediate future?
I find it interesting how Muslims routinely project their degeneracy on others. Weren't all US female captives routinely raped by Muslims in both the first and second Iraq wars? Didn't Shite Cleric Al-Sadr offer a bounty for the capture of a female UK soldier? Muslims are also known to occasionally rape male captives.
Bosnia --- didn't the USA come to Bosnian Muslims' aid against the Serbs?
Chechnya --- isn't Russia the only country involved in this?
Palestinian territories --- okay, so Muslims argue that the USA supports Israel, hence they get blame by association. But what about the other 161 countries that support Israel as well? Don't they get a share of the Islamic blame pie, too? Why is only America to blame for Muslim woes?
The quote attributed to me in a posting above is from the parody that I merely posted, and did not write.
PMK, American universities, generally speaking, would think this was as ridiculous as we do. Women's studies idiots, the same people who devote their careers to some twisted notion of feminism that has nothing to do with choice or making one's own way in the world and yet never teach that 20% of the world's women live their entire lives sex slaves, being treated worse than cattle. They are the ones who would, as I stated, "swallow that pill whole and spew it right back at anyone who will listen." That was my point. I was responding to your question about "people in academia." While women's studies professors are not representative of academia they do constitute a semi-powerful bloc at every school becuase they, along with the Saudi Agenda departments, are the ones who are always getting their knickers in knots over something ridiculous while something important is actually going on, like getting upset at some manufactured non-existent war-crime-as-humanitarian-crisis while there's a massive rape genocide going on in Darfur. They don't touch Darfur. They fret over Israelis not raping Arab women.
Hugh has a gift for appropriateness. I wouldn't suggest otherwise. I was responding to you, PMK.
