Whenever the #media picks up on any such vicious act we also need to ask about their #motives to do so. Yes that's sad and a #shame but it would only be naive to assume that the #victim of this particular #crime against #humanity was any more or less worthy of our #sympathy and support than all the others, on that day, the day before or any other. #Rape and sexual #abuse of #children and also by adolescents is one dark and way too normalized part of our underdeveloped societies. If we really want to change that we need to see the whole picture, not the occasional #scandal. Making this primarily about #antisemitism or even "October 7" is just cheap and disingenuous! It should be about our #children and the toxic environment they grow up in as well as our general attitude towards particularly vulnerable persons and groups.
Since we clearly are not there yet, i.e., I don't know who else has been victimized like this in the conceivable past, all I can do now is to express my rage against and disgust of the perpetrators and everything that lead them to suspend their humanity in this brutally consequential way (#kids are not born #evil), feel painful #empathy with the fate stricken girl (and whoever else got hurt), and maybe be a little bit hopeful that her ordeal will make people think about this sick and heartless world we are actually living in. I am and will be equally disgusted by anyone who tries to use this report in order to distract from the #genocide in #Palestine or even put the blame on #Palestinians or those who support them.
In short: whoever uses and abuses this little girl's pain and trauma in order to push their own (often sinister) #agendas should better drown in shame and silence, as much as everybody who sincerely wants to shed light on the structural enablers of these most heinous #crimes is welcome.
