A number of years ago, a doctoral student at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem produced a paper in which she accused the IDF and Jewish men in general of racism.
Why?
Because they never rape Arab women.
History tells us that in every instance of war, widespread rape is part of the ritual of the winning side. It is one of the weapons used by the victors in sealing their victory and humiliating the enemy..
The budding scholar concluded that it was not from a higher moral place that Jewish soldiers came from but it must be a nonuniquely racist one, to avoid physical contact with Arabs.
How else to explain this anti-historical phenomenon? (Indeed, how to explain Jews in history?)
Her observations/accusations of her own people won her accolades from her mentors and colleagues at the university in Jerusalem.
A few months ago an Israeli Arab Bedouin youth broke into a Jewish home and raped a ten-year-old girl in her bed.
The Israeli court sentenced him to five years. The Israeli judge explained her absurd sentence with something about his good family background and his sensitivity.
Besides, can we say for certain that we appreciate the problems of self-esteem, and the difficult social and psychological barriers before these Arab men? Can we really judge?
This weekend an Israeli Arab Bedouin broke into the home of a Jewish woman in the town of Gadara and tied up a Jewish woman before raping her in front of her small children who tried to protect her.
The rapist is in custody probably explaining to a Jewish judge that he too comes from a good family and is sensitive.
According to our Hebrew university scholar, these Arabs may be rapists but they are certainly innocent of the most unforgivable sin of racism. Arab men are willing to have physical contact with Jews. They have an enlightened egalitarian worldview.
But are Arab rapists indeed egalitarian?
Consider; the great majority of rapists in Israel are Arab (20% of the national population ).
However, Arabs never rape an Arab. Never.
Why is that? Are they not then auto-racists and perhaps warrant the next study in racism at the Hebrew university?
It is simply that every Arab knows that raping an Arab woman will mean consequences for him and his family (family is the key) far worse than prison or death.
No Jewish judge will be able to protect him from his own people and their unforgiving, unbending rules.
They will not face Jewish pity and understanding but rather the reality of what the Arabs call "honor"
Every culture has its definition of and relationship to honor.
Arabs snicker and laugh at the Jews' honor who they rape and rob and kill. They have no fear of them or their honor.
To the sophisticated Jews in the universities and courts, it is a badge of honor and high morality to understand the " noble savage", nay, to admire a primitive culture lost to the west.
To the Arabs, it is simply a license to do what they would never dare to do to an Arab.
They are simply warming up for the seventy virgins awaiting them in heaven.
Every culture has its logic and motivation.
The question for the Jews is, is survival one of ours?
