      I mean, sure, this is a propaganda piece by a not-at-all-trustworthy rag that might as well be an extension of the IDF in this context.

      But anyone who thinks women aren’t getting raped in war has never studied history. Are Oct 7 captives being sexually assaulted? Of course they are. Are Gazans also being sexually assaulted? Again, yes. Are female Ukrainian POWs being sexually assaulted? Almost certainly. Russian female POWs? Also yes. Anywhere there’s regular violence, sexual violence doesn’t follow far behind.

      Every state, paramilitary, terrorist organization, and militia that has ever fired a shot in anger wants to be seen as honorable fighters with a righteous cause who respect the rules of war, and yet there’s not a single one of the same groups who hasn’t also been shown to torture and kill children, civilians, and POWs, and rape and sexually abuse women, both combatants and civilians.

      No war but the class war.
