36. Exactly. It was a warning.

My mom told me about the horrific, systemic rapes at Abu Ghraib and we know about the rapes of Palestinian prisoners that are accepted and defended by Israeli society, like that famous recent case where they marched on the prison where IDF rapists were to free them.

Let me just paste this link here before someone foolishly pops up with twisted, delusional denials that the IDF doesn't rape. I can't believe anyone of sound mind won't admit that rape is rampant in wartime.

And I agree, it's sad that it's former MAGA types like Tucker and MTG sounding alarms.
