Two activists have exposed a disturbing phenomenon that they say is an open secret within the “peace camp”: female “peace” activists are routinely harassed and raped by the Arabs of Judea and Samaria with whom they have come to identify. They say the phenomenon has gotten worse lately and that many foreign women end up as wives of local Arabs against their will, but cannot escape their new homes.
Is this believable? It is. Here in the US, when asked to compare the mass deaths of Hitler, Stalin and Mao, the Liberals tell you that the Communist killers were not as bad as the Nazi killers, despite the greater death toll. The Communist deaths were "in the public good."
Here's an example for a contributing comment at The Volokh Conspiracy: (scroll down)
There are lots of people who are willing to lighten the burden of killing people via starvation, drowning or exposure (both Stalin & Mao) if it was done because the killers beleived they were serving the "public good."Mao and Stalin’s brutality and awfulness, but I still think that there is a significant difference between government action taken because the government *wants* to kill people, and government action taken where the government knows deaths will occur, but takes the action anyway because it believes the public good outweighs the deaths.
