I do not regard hate sites as particularly good sources for reliable information.
My comment was more about the court system and the attorney than it was about the incident, as bad as it was.
I am not describing anyone who gang rapes a child, or anyone else, as "good". I think, to some extent, saying gang rape happens in all societies is condoning it by offering mitigation.
I think you would be outraged if it had been teenage Palestinian boys who gang raped a little girl. I myself would certainly not accept the explanation/excuse that they were good boys.
Up until now, I had not brought ethnicity/religious affiliation into the equation.
Boo hoo, he doesn't read hate sites. No doubt gang rates are covered in every city they occue in the U.S. However, he doesn't mind the hate sites when those with the same mind set as he has use them. Every lawyer tries to show their client as being a good person, even when the person has murdered someone. I am outraged at anyone who has participated in a gang rape regardless of their religion, ethnicity, or race, but how come you are just interested in gang rapes when they involve Jewish kids. Meanwhile, I have never seen you bring up gang rapes when they committed by Muslims. Why are gang rapes so important to you now and never before? Christian girls are gang raped in Egypt, but apparently you aren't interested in that. Christian and Hindu girls are kidnapped, raped and forced into Islam, yet this also doesn't seem to interest you. Why???
I posted it because I regularly read that newspaper, among other world papers, and I was struck by them being called "good boys" and because the excuse given was that the little girl was big for her age, which to me seemed indicative that the person who described them as "good boys" was acknowledging their guilt in the rape.
I did not mention their religion for two reasons. The article didn't say what their religion was. Their religion was, in my opinion, irrelevant. Apparently, it isn't irrelevant in your eyes, but to me, rape is a horrible and horrendous act no matter the religion or ethnicity of the rapist.
As I said, the casual and unobjected to description of rapists as "good boys", coupled with the excuse they had no idea she was so young because she was a bigger than average child as though that somehow mitigated in some way this violent act, is indicative of a sickness, and you seem culpable of that same sickness with your focus on the religion/ethnicity of the persons who committed the rape.
I feel bad that a little girl had to undergo such degradation and defilement. You seem to feel bad that the little girl had to undergo such degradation and defilement at the hands of Jewish rapists (or so you allege. I haven't seen any proof of that they are Jewish yet, really) and would be more comfortable had they been Arab/Muslim.
As for Malcolm X. and your comment in another post, no, I do not have a picture of him in my residence, although I do admire him for having risen so far above from where he had started and after visiting Mecca, he had a whole new world view, rcognizing the struggle more than he did the racial differences. There is not one single doubt in my mind that had not white America looked over the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.'s shoulder and had seen the visage of Malcolom X, we, as a people, would not have taken a first step on this long and arduous towards racial equality and justice.
I also have a quote by a devout Catholic and Irish labor leader whose life, in many ways, parallels that of Malcolm X's. I imagine you will have a problem with that as well.
Perhaps you would prefer the company of women in my quotes. I loved it when Bernadette Devlin said "Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win." Or maybe her
friend, Angela Davis is more to your liking..."The road to freedom has always been stalked by death."
Thank you for your time, Sally, but not your sentiment.
