A Palestinian man is jailed for rape after consensual sex
Racism between groups who look alike doesn’t make it any better.
A court in Jerusalem has made international legal history by jailing Sabbar Kashur, a 30-year-old delivery man from East Jerusalem, for 18 months.
He was convicted of “rape by deception” following a criminal trial that has drawn criticism from across Israel.
Rape by deception? All because he lied about his name. So the sex was consensual until the woman realized his racial heritage later on? It was only then that she decided it had been a rape? If a women makes a decision regarding sex, it is reprehensible to blame others for her choice in hindsight. If there had been alcohol or any drugs involved, there may be a case. But there wasn’t anything of that sort. She blamed the man due to him not being Jewish but Palestinian after the fact. This just goes to show they all look similar enough that the racism is almost funny, if it wasn’t so sad.
“It is very well known that Israeli-Palestinians living in Israel disguise themselves,” said Leah Tsemel, a human-rights lawyer. “You change your accent and you change your dress because if you look like an Arab you face harassment.
“If you want to enter a pub, you’d better not look like an Arab and if you want to have sex with an Israeli girl, you had better not look like an Arab.”
Trying to fit in doesn’t work. Not trying to fit in doesn’t work. It’s clear there needs to be some peaceful agreement made; this is just stupid. Read the rest of the article.
