Account From ’56 Describes Slaughter and Rape by Israeli Troops in Gaza. Is It True?

The governor justified the soldiers’ acts by saying that “they did not use force, technically. They only told the women, at the beginning of the act — as they actually told me — that if they resisted, they would all be slaughtered. It would be more convenient — one of the soldiers told me naively — with three others having to hold the woman down by her arms and legs.” The governor, the soldiers said, did not care “if we went wild.”

In fact, the Chief Rabbi of the Israeli Defense Forces, Colonel Eyal Karim, is literally on record saying that rape is permitted in times of war.

“One of the most important and decisive values ​​in war is maintaining the fighting capacity of the army.…in war the barriers of modesty and kashrut are “breached”…even though associating with a heathen is a very serious thing, it was allowed in the war out of consideration for the difficulties of the fighters. And since the success of the whole in the war is before our eyes, the Torah allowed the individual to satisfy the evil urge under the conditions it allowed, for the sake of the success of the whole.

So, according to the chief “spiritual advisor” of the IDF, rape is permissible in times of war in order to “maintain the fighting capacity of the army” — as long as the victim of the rape was a “heathen”, or non-Jew.
