Thanks Joe Biden for approves the torture of Palestinians and uses it to launder rape hoaxes. No evidence? No problem! Just torture a Palestinian and put it on the Youtube channel!

    Let me try a different way: I’m saying you’re leaving the door open, just a little bit, for someone to come in with a red herring reframing of the question.

    Saying the UN found photo and video evidence of rape is technically accurate but it leaves a little window open for someone to try to get into an irrelevant discussion about photos and videos and what people didn’t find in the videos. I would just focus on, there is strong evidence of rape, more like you did in your more recent message.

    Saying rape was likely committed by Hamas leaves a similar little window open, since the report actually specifically stayed away from the question of which men out of the invading force (not all of whom were Hamas) were doing the raping, since that’s pretty hard to determine. To me it is safe to conclude that a lot of it was done by Hamas, but the report doesn’t do that, because it is trying to be rigorous about definitively proving everything that it’s saying.

    That is my input. You’re free to conclude it’s not warranted of course. Again: I agree with you. Cheers.

      The UN did not find photo and video evidence of any rape happening you clearly did not read the report.

      Israel showed them pixelated photos from ZAKA with a made up backstory where if you let the Hasbara imagination fill in the details enough you can imagine rape happening.

      Even Patten had to conclude that there were in fact no photos or videos of actual rape because blurry pictures with Hasbara descriptions don’t count. The report specifically mentioned that the blurry pictures are not evidence of rape depictions

      The only reason photos and videos are mentioned is to trick people that cannot read well or won’t read the whole report into thinking there’s evidence because the Patten report was an israeli invited tour. There is none.

      Even without leaving a window, I’m privy to constant misrepresentations of the quotes I provide or my comments themselves.

      Keeping that eventuality in mind, I tend to stick with the accuracy of the statement itself rather than branch off into possible extrapolations and just take each comment as it comes.

      Luckily I have a ridiculous amount of free time, so it’s fun for me to craft careful statements and at least as intellectually fun to analyze and dismantle inaccurate criticisms or disputes.

      I appreciate comments that forward the conversation or communicate honestly, but I have the patience and disposition to address any type of rejoinder.

      Thanks and have a good rest of your day!
