Israeli soldier gets community service for raping child

"The Tel Aviv District Court has sentenced a soldier to six months community service after convicting him of multiple rapes of an eleven year old girl over a two year period."

This is really disgusting if true. I'm just in awe of the evil.............

The three judges who handed down the sentence said they intended to send the message that it was not pointless for women to make a rape complaint, and to show the soldier he is directly responsible for an attack on a child and for the need to seek her forgiveness.

They were sending a message with that sentence?
That seems like a pretty light punishment when you're trying to set an example.

Ah well, at least they didn't try and appoint him as a diplomat to Australia like they tried to do with Aryeh Scher.

very sick is all i can say,

community service? you've got to be kidding me

Israeli's don't know the meaning of Justice.

Why?

This is strange! But not suprising. Is this Anti-Semitic to

report this story? Ask the ADL, they'll probably say yes.

I wonder what would have been the sentence if he had been Palestinian?

i agree community service is sending a message?? ya a message that it is all right.

one part i DO like however and that is the finantual penalty. i realy don't think it is enough but it IS a step in the right direction. the comunity servce however is bunk. what kind of a deturant is that? ohhhh don't rape or you will have to clean up a park.

you know please don't flame me for this but.....i have begun to wonder about the old testimont handleing of rape (under adultery, note i am not saying that we should be following it, only that there are some possible advantages to it) and that is the killing of both involved. at first glance in the case of rape it does seem rather extreem for the unwilling victome. but when you considder the damage that is done to the victome, given all the phychiatric help and drugs that are used today, ect. was this actualy less cruel then letting them survive? also add in that victomes of rape especialy male victomes have a great chance of committing the same type of crime later. is this in fact the best solution? especialy given the time period invoved, is this the reason for it? just thinking about what is done today to help such a victome and the fact that that was not available at the time, and that even with all we do it is not even enough. i also remember some stipulation about an un-married women marrying the rapest but can't find it atm, but could that not be much better? i am talking about all the problems that arise from it happening. rape has to be one of the most destructive crime arround. i am NOT trying to say that we should currantly do this, but exploreing the possible reasoning behind it. it has always bothered me, but was there good reason for it? was it actualy the best thing at the time that COULD be done for the victome?

I have news for you:
a) spellcheckers have been invented and can be put to good use
b) what you are saying is way sick
c) I met two rape victims in my life, who made full recovery and are beautiful persons

Rapists should be put to death, period. I'm all for letting the victim choose the way the rapist dies. That would be a deturrant(sp?). I'm a believer in forgiving people their sins. But that does not mean they should not pay for their crime in the ultimate way. Rape is all too common, as are most crimes, because we are afraid to deal out true justice to those who commit these crimes.

And the world is only getting sicker.

Isreal is far too busy living in the past to live in the present. They don't have the stomach for dealing with rapists. too many monuments to build, and too much time spent getting ready for their next memorial ceremony.

Hmm, 'all isrealis are incapable of justice', yep sounds pretty anti-semitic.

Who is 'really big news network' btw?

I think you've all been duped

President George W. Bush says he very much wants a diplomatic solution in dealing with the North Korean problem but can't help himself in engaging in gratuitous personal attacks on North Korea's leader

Notice also that some of the other stories cite a news source 'UPI', whereas this one just happens to have no source.

So, anti-semitic to report? No, obviously not, but it woudl be anti-semitic to make up stories about 'evil joos who rape their own pre-teen cousins and then pay them off'. Its pure unadulterated propaganda, apparently.

Interesting.

Also notice that this story is highly critical of the Israelis and makes it look like the whole world is putting the onus on them, while it leaves the Palestinians blameless. I also notice in the community service story that there isn't a single name, anywhere.

It would be interesting to see if any other 'news' sources pick this apparent propaganda up.

We see the same old thing, the jews depicted as immoral, corrupt, perverted and disgusting pigmen. But its not anti-semitic right?

Here's an Israeli source for the same story:

haaretz

Tel Aviv District Court on Tuesday sentenced an Israel Defense Forces soldier to six months community service for raping his young cousin repeatedly over a period of two years, beginning when she was 11.

The soldier was also ordered to pay his cousin NIS 20,000 in compensation. The prosecution had requested that he be given a three-year jail sentence.

In deciding on his sentence, the court had taken into account an psychological evaluation of the accused, which determined that he had no pedophiliac inclinations, or other sexual perversions.

The evaluation also determined that he had low self-image regarding his male identity.

I did a google search for this news story and nothing came up but when I went to haaretz it was right on the front page.

sorry but even though they do exist i do not happen to have access to one. i do my best as i can without.

b) what you are saying is way sick

it is sick to try and see why something was done? i never said that i felt that we should do it, but to look and possibly understand why it was done.

c) I met two rape victims in my life, who made full recovery and are beautiful persons

they are to be congratulated for overcomeing this type of travisty. i would inquire as to how much help was needed to overcome it? help i might add that would not have been available in that passed time. THAT was the point. even with all the help currantly available today many never recover from such a tramatic event. how much worse would it have been when there was NO availble help to get over it? a victome would only have had themselves and possibly family. what would their lives been like? could they have survived the ordeal without help like we have today? probably the only ones who can realy answer are actual victoms of this type of crime.

Fark. I had even googled for part of the story and it came up blank. I wonder if the big news network didn't cite the source because it was a jewish source??

Isn't rapping kids the very definition of it?!

Lets make this an atsnn submission. Any taker?

I'm reminded of the Israeli soldier who shot and killed a young girl after he believed and was even apparently told she was not a 'threat'. The soldier got off in a similiar manner. It seems that Israel has a very passive justice system, except, however, when it comes to Palestine.

The most true statement I have heard or seen all week.

If this is true that is pretty twisted.

And the US Sells Israel weapons? They are below the ideals of human beings.

Raping an 11 year old girl in the US would give the person 15 years in prison in the US. And that is even ridiculous. It should be life or death.

I have now lost all respect for Israel. I will slander them any chance I have.

Down with Israel.

Probation and community service is the NORM for first time offenders even here in the USA.

So because its a "dirty jew" its worse?

I think they all should be shot but why should the punishment for a Israeli be worse that that of anyone else?

Justice? WHAT Justice?

"Justice? What Justice? There is no Justice Here! I am the Boss!"

This is how Isreal sounds like, when talking about Justice and Punishment.

I am not amazed nor am I suprised, that this Isreali's soldier gets away that easily from a Crime he did commit. Hey, there were FAR WORSE crimes commited by Isreal and their soldiers, and I dont think that they were ever taken to any International Court.

"What Court? I am the BOSS here!"
