    Given that there has been very little evidence for “satanic” child sexual abuse cults despite rumors going back at least half a century, it wouldn’t surprise me if there is some relation. The devil’s in the details, and these reports ring absolutely true personally.

    Please don’t take this as anything against Judaism as a whole, some of my best friends, family, nicest people yada yada. It’s like any powerful religion.

      I know that for contemporary Republican politicians, every accusation against their perceived enemies is an admission of something they’re doing.

      I didn’t know that went all the way back to the Satanic Panic.

      Nothing satanic, it’s just abuse with some dressed up frills to get the victim to accept their abuse. And Israel is choke full of abusers.

      Even a survey found that the majority didn’t think forcing another person into sex is considered rape.

      College Study: 41 Percent of Women Students Don’t See Forced Sex With Acquaintance as Rape. 61 percent of the male students polled in a small college survey did not equate forced sex with an acquaintance as rape.

        That’s my point. Maybe there were “satanic” ritualistic abuse cults, maybe not. But it seems increasingly likely there have been Zionist ritualistic abuse cults for a long time. Their pentagram a… hexagram?

        I think these stats are a reflection of just how toxic Israeli culture has become in some areas. It’s a slippery slope from → these types of people are not human to → inhumanity applied to other groups, as we all know. Eventually it is applied on oneself when it becomes so ingrained in the culture

          I still don’t know if I can make a generalization that it’s because Israelis are predominantly of a faith and therefore are cultish, and by extension likely to be abusers within the faith. In the end, a majority of Israelis are not religious and don’t subscribe to religious doctrine.

          So I agree with your second paragraph:

          I think these stats are a reflection of just how toxic Israeli culture has become in some areas. It’s a slippery slope from → these types of people are not human to → inhumanity applied to other groups, as we all know. Eventually it is applied on oneself when it becomes so ingrained in the culture.

          And because of how sadistic and toxic the culture is, it’s even more apparent in the spinoff cults.
