I agree that Israel is the one who has the power to stop the war and genocide.
I do not agree that rape is self defense nor is it necessary for revolution. Are you planning on raping the capitalists if we see a revolution in our lifetime? If not, then Iβm sure you can understand that itβs possible not to.
I am going to disengage from this conversation.
Any revolutionary should act as human as the circumstances allow, that's a reasonable moral standard.
But these acts don't delegitimize the Palestinian cause whatsoever, they are just a sad reality of war.
No, rape is never justified, even in war. However, ugly acts of vengeance are inevitable when the oppressed find themselves with captive members of the oppressor class. They may be unarmed civilians, but they were partying within walking distance of the Gaza border so they were direct beneficiaries of the oppression.
