Seeing the evidence of the rapes and sexual assualts of many of the women in Gaza

From Hamas is very hard for me.
Rape as a weapon of war churns my stomach

1. I saw the video

I'm very disturbed and agitated

[Deuxcents]

2. I haven't watched any of it

And I’m not going to. It does no good to watch humans brutalizing others. I know it’s going on and I detest it but I’m not gonna watch 😡

3. I can't watch. It would feel like a further assault on the dignity of the victims.

Knowing is bad enough.

5. De aquerdo! Deliberately avoiding the polution of emotion ...

... is the morally right and self-protectively appropriate choice as a human.
If I indulge (by choice and open eyes) to see the horror, gore, and blood of inhumanity, I am right there along-side the perpetrator of horror.

Appropriate knowledge of wrongs (evil) done is sufficient for acting, condemning, fighting the evil.
It does not profit anyone to deeply, emotionally, viscerally experience horror and terror.
It does not profit anyone to choose a side and accept the utter destruction of the other.

Choosing to watch what happened is quite different from being a victim.
Those who are slaughtered go to heavens, those who watch live in hells.

And for those who need to be told what is revealed between the lines, it does not profit anyone to attack anyone at any age for any reason at any time over any cause anywhere.
Sadly the sacrifice of thee for the sense of "Me" is a universal poison.

4. It makes one wonder what a "proportionate" response could be.

Objective: Eliminate the evil doers and spare the innocent.

6. mass castration.

7. It is beyond disgusting.

I also wonder if they are also raping men and children. There were allegations years ago that male hostages were also sexually assaulted, almost always with guns.

Anti-Semitism is horrible, and so is enabling it by making excuses, but I have never been real hip on the title of "the world's old hate" because long before there were Jews, long before their were nationalities and states, and long before there was a concept of "race", there have always been women, and it is they who have often been on the receiving end of hate, violence, and death. To me, misogyny is the 'world's oldest hate'.
