The original claim was that terrorists might stop attacking Israel if it stopped "assaulting and raping Arabs without consequences". So which way are we to read it?

- Israel is being held to an impossible standard of zero crime, or a 100% conviction rate for suspected crimes.

- Or Israel is being accused of having a prolific, systematic problem, with no data to support the accusation.

This is indeed my assertion.

> no data to support the accusation.

Given that you video evidence of a rape along with the documented injuries of the survivor doesn’t meet your evidentiary standards, I doubt that anything would actually convince you, but it’s well documented that Israeli’s act with impunity against Palestinians in a number of contexts.

E.g.

“3% of the investigations (into settler violence) ended with a conviction”
