BTW Israel is litterally above the law. It's financed by the USA, and to a lesser extent Britian, and Europe.
I don't see how the disgraceful conduct of a citizen of a nation represents the nation as a whole, sorry. If you have problems with Israel itself, fine, there's a good 1,000 or so threads on that already.
To sum things up, pretty much all of us agree that the punishment given stinks. A rapist is a rapist regardless of where he lives, and I for one would prefer a nicer off the books punishment for all of them.
I can't even count for you how often I am disturbed here in the US when a violent criminal returns to society and assaults someone AGAIN, or rapes someone AGAIN. It's pitiful. Israel is not the only country handing out lenient punishment for serious crimes. We do it here too. It's a crappy situation. But look at the other end of the spectrum. If you impose penalties that are considered too serious you have the ACLU all over you. I'd go so far as to say that most of the world's "systems" need to be redone desperately.

Dear all,
What continues to stagger me about this case is how it has not caused a media firestorm across the globe.
I do not care that it happened in Israel all I care about is that a convicted rapist has not been properly punished for his crimes.
This UN stepping in with a serious attack on sweatshops and child sex rings would be a second step.

Why in a certain "Western", industrialized, country is a guy able to get away with repeatedly raping a LITTLE GIRL for years? Not even the US soldiers who raped that girl in Japan, a few years ago, go off with no punishment! The reason why he's able to get away with this rape is cuz the elite who run Israel, who created Israel, are above the law. Since they're above the law, they can do anything, including killing Jews, beating Jews bloody, destroying Jewish synagogues, beating up Jewish Rabbi's, and... including allowing someone in Israel to repeatedly rape a LITTLE GIRL.

Go back and read what you wrote. Does it make any sense? Are you suggesting that the man who raped the little girl is part of the elite? That is why he dot off? How about the fact the that girl was his cousin? Doesn't that make her an elitist too? This is a story of a boy with little self esteem who raped his cousin and got a lenitient sentence because 3 women judges feared he would commit suicide. Read the story for crying out loud! This story made headlines in Israel and became an outrage.
How is this associated to your Elitist story.
Your Elitist Israel theory is also assenine. All you prove is that YOU ARE ON AN ISRAEL BASHING RAMPAGE EXTREME IRRATIONALITY AND BIAS.

Remarkably, child sex rings are an accepted norm in some countries which I won't name so as not be considered attacking anyone.
True, some of those countries have laws on paper prohibiting the activity, but they're basically just that: "paper laws."
In fact, there are some countries where the child sex rings are more of a tourist draw than their historic treasures. It's disturbing but a few moments of research will lead you directly to what I'm speaking about.
Instead of viewing these terrible terrible incidents on specific terms, it would be wiser for a world body to pressure all nations to bring forth concrete legislation to protect children, including harsher penalties.

He didnt rape "his cousin". He raped a LITTLE GIRL who was 11 years old. Rape is when the other person doesnt want to have sex. Saying "it was his cousin" means nothing. Rape is rape.
Let me ask you something. What if a Palistine soldier had raped an 11 year old Israeli girl? And he got off scott free? What do you think the Israelies would say? "Yes that's a good decision!" or... "Kill the bastard!"
I posted a hint at the true background of Israel, true origins of modern day Israel, to show why no other country would dare put pressure on the Israeli goverment in this case. (Did you click on the LINKS I posted?!? Did you? Did you?)
Why the world press is not outraged. Like someone else said - look at the Michael Jack case. And look at the case when US soldiers raped a young Japanese girl! The world press was all over it pressuring the US goverment to make sure those US soldiers didn't get away with it! How come the world press isn't pressuring the Israeli goverment?

True RAPE IS RAPE. No-one is saying that this act is not monsterous what I am try to convey here is (and again...) the girl was NOT Palestinian but his cousin, another Jew, or in your biased biggoted view another elitist.

Why would the US care if an Israeli raped his little cousin? What is it their business. Had he raped a little Palestinian girl and got away with it then that would be a different story.
Are you starting to understand the problem with your arguement????

Originally posted by truthseeka I mean, when you have a country knee deep in the sex slave trade, you can't expect much punishment for raping little girls.
You mean like the Muslim Slave trade that still goes on today? But what the heck to borrow a phrase "its the JOOOOS its the JOOOOOOS'

The first thing I will say is shame on whoever posted this discussion in the first place.
Having read the details of the case, it would seem that it was a young man with low self esteem who, while a minor, i.e. BEFORE he ever became a member of the IDF, raped his young cousin on a good few occasions.

This is an incredibly unforgivable act and I would have to say the sentence was very lenient, what is more unforgivable is how that family's pain and this thread has been hijacked and turned into a platform for bashing Israel.

No one is bashing Israel. Everyone is trying to pressure the Israeli goverment to step in and put its foot down. And show it doesn't tolerate little girls getting raped.

HE got sentance AFTER he became an Israeli soldier. So the title is true not false.
Happens EVERYDAY here.
