    Well in that instance it did seem like a straw man.

    Some videos also point out the hypocrisy when this is brought up, when we talk about the Palestinian people.

    Many reports have came out, for decades now, where sexual abuse is brought up on the Palestinian side and their experiences in Israeli detention.

    Let us not forget that many Palestinians are being held by Israel in their detention centers, some are children that are released years later.

      Both can be true. Caring about Palestinians does not mean we have to demean Israelis. It just doesn’t. Stooping to someone else’s level is not an acceptable excuse. It’s just not.
