Its a shame because they're prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don't understand the point of targeting a person you don't like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don't like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)

Yeah, this had put a target on his back in any lefty instance.

For... pointing out that Hamas did, in fact, commit sexual violence on Oct 7?

    For which there is no evidence aside from claims by Zionist Israelis, the same group that is committing genocide right now. This hasbara was put to bed over a year ago.

    What actually happened on Oct. 7 was that Israelis killed and burned (in no particular order) their own civilians and then blamed Hamas. And it is the Israelis themselves who have been systematically raping… Palestinians.

    Edit to add: Immediately reaching for the “⚐ Create Report,” as usual 🙄

    Are you claiming that Hamas, systemically, as official policy, weaponized sexual violence on October 7th?

    Because then, yeah, I think we'd have a problem.

    Edit:

    And it looks like you're referring to that brand-new study that was just put out by that Israeli think-tank in their best effort to try and change what the definition of sexual violence is in order to get Hamas Blacklisted? Yeah, I remember that study. It's already been specifically discredited by the UN and a number of NGOs.

    No, I'm saying Hamas committed sexual violence on Oct 7, I didn't realize that was un-fucking clear.

    Technically the UN report only said that people who invaded on October 7th committed widespread sexual violence. They stopped short of saying whether or not it was Hamas (since a lot of people who were not Hamas also took part in the invasion and there was no real way to know who it was that did any particular thing.)

    Well, to play devil's advocate, we don't actually know if it was a Hamas. Witnesses are notoriously unreliable, There hasn't been any other corroborating evidence. In Rwanda and in Syria during those genocides, when those sexual assaults took place, we were able to track down individuals, where there was quite a lot less surveillance. Which is tracked by the UN.

    Feels like random individual actors committed sexual violence, and then the Israeli government is blaming Hamas. Wouldn't be the first time since they accused Hamas of being ISIS while literally arming ISIS groups in Gaza to help commit a genocide

    “To show that it was widespread and systematic, we would need a lot more evidence than has come to light to date and a lot more corroborative evidence than is being put out there,” says Madeleine Rees, general secretary of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.
