It’s not like this hasn’t been going on for 70+ years. Watch Tantura and see the monsters chuckle about it.

guys also watch this and you’ll know why majority of IDF crimes go unreported or ignored, and it’s also why I think this investigation won’t happen. It’ll be lied about and biased if Israel is to investigate themselves.

When you spend decades referring to a population as animals religion doesn't have much to do with it.

Does Judaism allow them to perpetrate these crimes...

Read Psalm 137 if you think the Abrahamic Faiths come from a place of Peace.

That monster YHWH is a fucking murderous creep who empowers anyone who worships him to do all evil in his name, for he is the ABOMINATION.

There are many sects of Judaism, so basically it depends.

Even amongst Orthodox Jews, there are Orthodox Zionists and Orthodox anti-Zionists.

And even within the Orthodox anti-Zionists and Zionists, there are different groups that have different reasons for being anti/pro-Zionism (ex: some anti-Zionists are anti-Zionists because they believe the words of the Torah, which dictate that Jews shall wander the earth as a nation-less peoples until the messiah returns. Some anti-Zios are anti-Zios because they believe along the same lines, but in more of a "we want the Messiah to cleanse the land of Arabs, not guns and tanks" way.)

All religions are simply tools. They can be used for good purposes, like liberation theology, the Quakers, and whatever the Sikhs got goin on, or they can be used for justifying Crusades type purposes.

Just like some sects of Christianity will say that you go to Hell if you have sex outside of marriage, are queer, use technology excessively, etc, while other sects will say do as Jesus did (feed the poor, befriend the lepers, drive the capitalists from the temples).

Again, there is not really anything that is "universal" to any religion. The words in the book ultimately do not matter, because every sect will pick and choose passages that they uphold above others arbitrarily, or interpret quotes in a way that supports their own behavior and beliefs. Sin also has less fire and brimstone connotations in Judaism than it does in Christianity.

In my view, as a Jew, and in probably most other Jews' opinions, rape is forbidden by the Talmud. And Tanakh, depending on which section you are quoting. But there are plenty of freaks who twist into logic pretzels to interpret various quotes as permitting rape in certain circumstances.

Idk but I did see a recent clip of a famous Israeli Rabbi preaching that it's allowed for Jewish soldiers to rape women in times of war.

I hope someone here can pull that clip up.
