World Reacts to Israel’s No Rape Strategy

Steven Plaut’s post on the IDF’s no rape strategy has drawn heavy traffic. The post has been translated into German and discussed on Lizas Welt. Union des Patrons et des Professional Juifs de France provided a French translation.

On the James Randi Educational Foundation website, danielk posted a thread that resulted in a lively discussion. Many on the thread seemed to question the existence of the essay. Rob Lister was typical, “Until such time as someone can locate the ‘published paper’ I must presume it is entirely fictional.”

We would like to thank Giggywig, who did find a downloadable version of the essay, in Hebrew (of course).

Meanwhile, Zionism & Israel has a great parody on the world’s reaction to the IDF’s no rape phenomenon.

A report claiming that Israeli soldiers do not rape Palestinian Arab women as part of a sinister racist Zionist plot 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 initiated 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.”
