I don’t know if she is considered to be a serious academic, but I am intrigued by Tal Nitzan’s revelation that Israeli troops don’t rape Palestinian women because they’re racist.

“In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it can be seen that the lack of military rape merely strengthens the ethnic boundaries and clarifies the inter-ethnic differences – just as organized military rape would have done.”

And I believe that her faculty advisor was recently charged with rape. If guilty, he probably had a good ideological reason.
