Rape And Sexual Abuse, Hamas, Boko Haram, RSF, IRGC, And The Erosion Of Morality

 For some inexplicable and indefensible reason, the use of the word rape, a horrific act of sexual violence, is not permitted on the YouTube platform. 

Throughout history, great evil has been excused. Demonizing a people has been used as the justification to commit sexual abuse and other horrific acts against others. People that rape, people that sexually abuse, are responsible for their actions. There is a concerted effort to turn certain sexual abusers and rapists into victims and to not hold them responsible for their actions. 

What this ensures is that there will be more sexual abuse, more rapes, more crimes against humanity.

Deflections, excusing rapists and sexually abusers of their crimes by insisting the other side also commits these acts, or any other excuse, is an immoral effort to excuse rapists and sexual abusers of responsibility.

No amount of whitewashing, deflections, blaming the past, denials, or anything else erases the fact that rape and sexual abuse are evil acts, no matter who commits them, that must never be defended or accepted.

Rapists and sexual abusers are responsible for their actions and must always be held accountable.

The effort to deny responsibility and shift blame, most often onto the targets of hate and demonizing, not on the actual rapists and sexual abusers, is sheer evil that does nothing but open the door to even more sexual abuse, rape, suffering, misery and destroyed lives. 

Hamas and company committed sexual abuse and other crimes against humanity against defenseless people inside of Israel on October 7, 2023. The IRGC mass sexually abuses and murders countless thousands of Iranians. RSF and others mass sexually abuse and slaughter in the Sudan. Boko Haram does this in Nigeria. Hatred, no matter against who, must never trump the most basic morality that no human being anywhere ever has the right to sexually abuse another human being. And yet this simple and most basic morality is overshadowed by political and religious beliefs that justify the gravest of evils to the detriment of all of humanity.

Throughout the world, regimes and organizations similar to Hamas, including Boko Haram, ISIS, IRGC, Al Shabaab, Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, Houthis, Al Shabaab of Mozambique, Allied Democratic Forces, RSF and others, are committing sexual abuse and other grave crimes against humanity. There are no protests. There is only silence. 

No human being anywhere has the right to sexually abuse another. Claims that the other side does it, or that past injustices, grievances, or anything else provide justification for sexual abuse, are more than wrong. Even in war, one of the worst things humans do to one another, sexual abuse is forbidden. If this most basic of moralities continues to erode, there is no future left for humanity.
