Rapes happen all the time in war, big whoop, Israel is worse anyway says the Hamas apologist. The only thing that’s changed is that now you can’t pretend Israel is making it all up when even your oh-so-authoritative UN officials are acknowledging it. The “can you not” was in response to Crane downplaying and questioning allegations of rape committed by the October 7 terrorists. It was dibble saying yes rape very likely was committed by hamas of their friends so “can you not” downplay and question it. Im not convinced this is an honest misread on your part. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/discussion-for-the-israel-hamas-war-a-thread-in-the-pit/992653)._
