And still ongoing

Not interested in playing silly number games.

Some things in life don’t need exact definitions for us to recognise them and I hope you know this.

Crossnerd while that was common historically, I would need proof of Italian military raping in Afghanistan and Lebanon here otherwise you have to change your claim at least for recent military interventions.

Raping the infidels doesn't necessarily oppose all Muslims religious tenets btw, that religion interpretation of the concept is very fluid (in the sense that there are a myriad different interpretations inside Islam) and some radicals believe the infidels (to summarizes) basically aren't humans.

And you don't need coordinated raping for all the 10 7 mission participants, a group of them believing they can rape the infidels liberally and doing that wantonly is already enough to mark a significant difference with many other recent military interventions from the west

There is a difference in ideology also if the % of rapists among Hamas 10 7 attackers is a lot higher than the % of rapists among Americans in, say, Afghanistan

Just to understand, why should we use as reference the opinion of an actual communist on any topic?



And I was told I have an obsession with Marxism, Marxism doesn't exist anymore, doesn't influence people anymore...

Here we have a mod who is actually basing her interpretation of how to mod on a topic on the opinion of a communist on the topic

Is your claim is that men treat rape today in the same way they did when it was accepted if it was the rape of foreigners, in the past? and that based on the reference of a communist writer?

proof needed for western armies. I need proof for the claim "all men equally". That the propensity to rape is higher in men than in women is biologically obvious. Proof needed that all culture in all of history managed that propensity identically. Otherwise we can *rank cultures for their propensity to allow rape* in a moral sense, which would put western culture above basically all others, in that regard.

A lot of proof needed to deny that.

"the patriarchy is a monolith" what?

Anyway at the university of Turin, currently occupied by students (at least some building), an imam described how the jihad is the greatest moral effort, to which women and children participate as well, for liberation of their lands

I thought it was basically because they didn't want back after Israel ended their active occupation. I have seen others state as much here at least about Gaza. They don't seem to care about the people who live there any more than Israel does.

It's been at least a few days since anyone as mentioned hospitals and apartment building here. Very little talk of kids either. And I haven't seen anyone claim that anything in particular was just. Maybe you're just talking about the people on reddit who Victor often criticizer for...reasons?

Seems like possible racist bigotry expressed here? But I'm not sure as I still don't know exactly what others' definitions of racism are.

Wow. I honestly have no idea what you would find to be bigoted rhetoric in Dunyain's post.

To be fair, you do see that every once in a while.

Whenever my 7 pound toothless morkie decides to be stupid aggressive towards a giant scary looking dog, the big dog always gets a sad look on its face and I do feel bad for it.

Some here seem to think that poor black people in the US should be able do this.

They tried to give it back to Egypt, who wouldn't take responsibility for it.

What does this have to do with Israel/Palestine?

A moral framework should be applied every time, otherwise you can expose a lack of morals and a cynical interest to treat some issues differently from others.

I wasn't asking you.

I see the phrase "intent to destroy" there. It doesn't seem to me that Israel is trying to destroy the Palestinian Arab people.

But they did perform the social nicety of telling the girls how pretty they all are.

If you want private conversations there are PMs

How sure are you about this? And does your definition of rape include all sex with 9yo girls?

With regard to your posts about rape happening in every war, since ever - sadly, rape is a successful reproductive strategy which is selected by evolution. And soldiers are not known for restraining their baser instincts. In fact, they seem to mostly be trained to embrace them.

I was interested in someone else's opinion other than the person who dominates every conversation in the politics forum.
