This could very well be the stupidest thing I have ever read in my life:

(IsraelNN.com) A research paper that won a Hebrew University teachers’ committee prize finds that the lack of IDF rapes of Palestinian women is designed to serve a political purpose.

The abstract of the paper, authored by doctoral candidate Tal Nitzan, notes that the paper shows that “the lack of organized military rape is an alternate way of realizing [particular] political goals.”

The next sentence delineates the particular goals that are realized in this manner: ”In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it can be seen that the lack of military rape merely strengthens the ethnic boundaries and clarifies the inter-ethnic differences - just as organized military rape would have done.”

The paper further theorizes that Arab women in Judea and Samaria are not raped by IDF soldiers because the women are de-humanized in the soldiers’ eyes.

Of course. What other explanation can there possibly be for Israeli soldiers not raping Arab women?

Let’s see....the fact that rape is a brutal, dehumanizing act and that it’s a crime, and that Israel is a civilized nation and that Israeli military courts would prosecute for it and the fact that it is just plain WRONG - nah. That can’t be it. It’s a political weapon.

Sadly, the moron who wrote this - doctoral candidate - probably believes every word of it.
