Right-Wing Professor: Raping Arab Women Is ‘The Only Thing That Deters Suicide Bombers’

[big_dog]

A professor and researcher for a right-wing Israeli think tank suggested in an interview earlier this month that raping Arab women was the only way to deter suicide bombers.After Palestinians allegedly abducted and killed three Israeli teens in late June, Bar-Ilan University professor Dr. Mordechai Kedar spoke with a Hebrew-language radio show about what could be done to stop Hamas.

“You have to understand the culture in which we live,” Kedar explained in the June 1 interview, according to a transcript published by Haaretz. “Terrorists like those who kidnapped the children and killed them — the only thing that deters them is if they know that their sister or their mother will be raped in the event that they are caught. What can you do, that’s the culture in which we live.”

Host Yossi Hadar pointed out Israel could not “take such steps.” “I’m not talking about what we should or shouldn’t do,” Kedar insisted. “I’m talking about the facts. The only thing that deters a suicide bomber is the knowledge that if he pulls the trigger or blows himself up, his sister will be raped.”

“That’s all. That’s the only thing that will bring him back home, in order to preserve his sister’s honor.” http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/07/22/right-wing-professor-raping-arab-women-is-the-only-thing-that-deters-suicide-bombers/

1. The putrid racist filth coming out of Israel continues.

These are the voices of a racist apartheid state.

[hack89]

3. If they would only celebrate true diversity like fundamentalist groups like Hamas

what he said is vile. But no more vile than the anti-Semitic filth spewed by Hamas on a daily basis. What kind of state would a Hamas led state be?

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Oh, no, you misunderstand. This is the voice of compassion.

He specified only sisters, and said nothing about raping the mothers, daughters and wives.

[leftynyc]

6. As opposed to the

gumdrops dropped by hamas and their pals. I mean, who doesn't love being called monkeys and dogs? Your outrageous outrage is getting pathetically boring.

[stranger81]

20. Same as being called "roaches" or "little snakes," I guess.

Don't pretend your friends don't throw around the same kind of dehumanizing language.

11. israel is not the only place it comes out of, i notice when people post about rape

and related issues happening in the US you often try to dismiss it .

[Comrade Grumpy]

16. Aren't you the poster who lied about my positions before?

And got a post hidden for it? I haven't forgotten you.

[JI7]

18. there are bad hides all the time

and i haven't forgotten you either

[Comrade Grumpy]

21. You lied and called me a Zimmerman supporter. It was a good hide.

I really loathe liars, especially the stalker sort. Go back in your hole.

You came onto this thread and attempted to derail it with your cheapjack attack on me. You had nothing to say about the content of the thread. Just a personal attack. Low.

[JI7]

22. it certainly was about the thread which has to do with rape

[NutmegYankee]

19. And what do the Tea-baggers make us? nt

2. What a monster

How could they continue to employee him? I don't care what their position is on Palestine. That is entirely unacceptable.

5. he may get a tenure hearing over this

if even even has it to begin with

12. In the wake of the publication of his words, feminist activists today sent a letter

to Bar-Ilan University president Rabbi Prof. Daniel Hershkowitz, in which they decried Kedar’s “incitement that grant legitimacy to Israel Defense Forces soldiers and Israeli civilians to commit rape, and endanger both Israeli and Palestinian women. Kedar’s words echo expressions that treat rape as a remedial practice, although it is a war crime.”

[Warpy]

10. Stupid ass needs to be retired like yesterday

He's got it exactly backwards, like all right wing idiots. Damaging female property of those families will result in the whole damned family strapping on bombs to kill Israelis.

Sadly, they always miss the right wing bigots like this moron.

[frylock]

14. makes perfect sense. look how the death penalty deters people from comitting murder.
