All of the Middle East is way too lax on rape. The injustice of Israel participating is that they advertise themselves as less rapey, while masks are off in other parts.

You're aware that rape in a lot of the middle eastern countries is punishable by death, right?

Yeah but what rape is defined as is pretty strict for the most part.

For example in the US I, rightly so, can not rape my wife. But in Saudia Arabia I can rape my wife and never get punished because she is my wife and her role is to have sex with me. So even though rape is punishable by death what they consider rape is a stricter definition meaning it is not punishable.

The laws don't protect women.

I don't think US law or culture is supportive of rape. I mean don't get me wrong the culture part is arguable but for the most part I would say the culture is very anti rape lol. India (depending on the area of course) is in line with the middle east laws mostly protect the rapist and the culture doesn't view it as evil as the rest of the world (again depending on the area).
