Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)

    Well, to play devil’s advocate, we don’t actually know if it was a Hamas. Witnesses are notoriously unreliable, There hasn’t been any other corroborating evidence. In Rwanda and in Syria during those genocides, when those sexual assaults took place, we were able to track down individuals, where there was quite a lot less surveillance. Which is tracked by the UN.

    Feels like random individual actors committed sexual violence, and then the Israeli government is blaming Hamas. Wouldn’t be the first time since they accused Hamas of being ISIS while literally arming ISIS groups in Gaza to help commit a genocide
