I think there's a higher probability that Russian soldiers would rape a female prisoner than there is for IDF soldiers to rape a prisoner. So that factors into people's feeling on this little "switcharoo" exercise.

It's not actually hypocrisy to have awareness of a military's track record in regards to sexually assaulting their prisoners.

There's also a significantly higher probability that Hamas would rape a female prisoner than basically anyone in the world.

But I suppose people who look the other way when their allies call for genocide, look the other way when they intentionally murder over a thousand people, they're probably also going to look the other way about them raping their prisoners too. I guess that's consistent and therefore not "hypocritical."

Can I see the equation you're using to calculate these probabilities?

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I'm afraid you would have to look up his ass, where those probabilities were pulled from.

If you're pretending to be ignorant of the rapes committed by the Russian military and the rapes committed by Hamas, then you're just someone that's only here to push narratives to support some fascist cause.

You're the one here pushing the fascist israeli cause.

Nah fam, Israel is a democracy. Meanwhile, there hasn't been an election in Gaza since Hamas took power.

You see fascists often make efforts to de-legitimize democracies. Accuse the other side of that which you're guilty, right?
