Related: About this forumNissim Yeshaya, Israeli Judge, Says 'Some Girls Enjoy Being Raped,' Resigns Amid Outcry
An Israeli judge sparked an outcry during the hearing of a 19-year-old Israeli woman who was raped by four Palestinians when she was 13. The woman was petitioning the court for the rape to be considered an act of terror which would make her eligible for government compensation.
Some girls enjoy being raped, Judge Nissim Yeshaya of the District Court in Tel Aviv said, according to Army Radio.
The rape victim was not in the room for the hearing. Her attorney, Roni Aloni-Adovnik described the scene to Army Radio. In the midst of the passionate debate he (Judge Yeshaya) suddenly said aloud, in earshot of everyone present, There are some girls who enjoy being raped. The room fell into silence .And he didnt even get what he had just said. He didnt understand why everyone became silent all of a sudden.
Israeli press reports said the plaintiff collapsed after her lawyer told her about the judge's remarks and was hospitalized.
Judge Yeshaya said his remarks had been misconstrued.
This isnt serious, he said after the remarks became public. They are trying to gain publicity off me. I do not believe a rape victim is not hurt or that rape is not a serious offense.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called the remark unfortunate and unacceptable and said he was withdrawing his support for the judges appointment as the head of the Likud Partys Court.

really give men the idea that some women like it. This is one of my many reasons for being against porn, just one of the many.
These images affect the viewers viscerally. We are an immitative species, some of us more susceptible to this sort of pollution than others.
