Israel to sue New York Times over article alleging widespread rape of prisoners

58. Yeah, this keeps getting turned into a comparison

When I should have cut that off right away, because I don't feel any differently about the atrocities being done by ICE or anybody else. Why would I? Why would any sane person? It's all a fight for humanity. Every time the truth pops it's ugly little head up. And why wouldn't I be aware of those other events? Nothing excuses them either.

Pointing to other people and places doesn't make the accounts in the article any less shocking, or the fact that Israel is trying to sue over it any less...what's the word I'm looking for...complict. The violence isn't being committed by child soldiers or cartels. It's not the other prisoners. And it's being covered up apparently, judging by this suit.

So I'm done trying to fend off efforts to normalized what's being done to an already beaten down people. Using comparisons to other atrocities, really? You may go along your merry way believing I am naive, and just don't know history well enough to not wonder how the people who committed such acts in a permissive environment go home to their families at night. I think we should all wonder that actually.

Not to rant and run, but I came on here to express disgust, and I'm done. Implying this story is somehow less important or shocking because of something else that happened somewhere else just isn't an argument I'm going to continue. Trying hard not to be insulting.

Have an evening
