An Arab man convicted in Israel of rape because he pretended he was a Jew when he had consensual sex with a Jewish woman has called the verdict racist. Sabbar Kashur, 30, was found guilty of “rape by deception” by the Israeli court and sentenced to 18 months in jail.
According to the complaint filed by the woman, the two met in a Jerusalem street in 2008 and had sex that day. When she discovered he was not Jewish, but an Arab, she went to the police.
Kashur was arrested and charged with rape and indecent assault, but the charges were later replaced by a different charge of “rape by deception”…
“If I were Jewish, they wouldn’t have even questioned me,” the Haaretz newspaper quoted him as saying.
“That’s not called rape, I didn’t rape her in the forest and and throw her away naked. She agreed to everything that happened…”
“The court is obliged to protect the public interest from sophisticated, smooth-tongued criminals who can deceive innocent victims at an unbearable price – the sanctity of their bodies and souls,” the court judgement was quoted as reading.
Would your reaction be different if the roles were reversed?
She would have known immediately, because the sex was not all about him.
It’s this kind of thing that gives rape a bad name.
What kind of world do we live in where a man can go to jail for lying to get some loving. Israel is in serious violation of the Brocode.
I mean I can understand if he were to get beat up by the girl’s brothers but convicted???
#23 – The severity of the ‘penalty for lieing to get sex’ depends on the severity of the actual lie. It’s one thing to say you’re a doctor, but it’s another to claim you aren’t HIV positive.
How dare he be Arab, I only have same day sex with Jews.
apparently the court knows what she’s talking about.

“But seriously, it doesn’t seem clear whether he actually told her he was Jewish or if she just assumed. If he lied, lock ‘em both up. Him for being a liar, her for being a slut who pick up random guys on the street. Put them in the same cell and see what happens. I’m guessing a repeat offenders.”
He said his name was Daniel. That was enough for her!
Atheists don’t have religious-based problems like this.
the article is somewhat misleading. The man wasn’t tried – he agreed to a plea bargain. The details are not yet public. My guess? It was more than just consensual sex. It might have been an actual rape – but the prosecution was not certain of conviction, so they bargained for a lesser charge and a shorter prison time.
The charge of rape by deception is meant to be used in cases in which the offender pretends to be rich or powerful (or a “Sex therapist”, or a spiritual healer, that kind of thing) and somehow manipulates the victim, through promises of monetary gain, career opportunity etc., to have sex. According to the description of the charge, this wasn’t such a case – but the guy did plead guilty.

That’s because atheism is a non-prophet organization.
Seriously though. It would be a funny case. She lied to me. She said she was a nontheist. After we had sex, she tried to persuade me to convert to and get . Now I claim rape by deception … and my orgasm was fake!

Point 1. Only one race, human.
Point 2. Both were Semites.
Just how much more will the world stand of this total Cain and Abel BS?

Cursor_, Point 2. Both were Semites.
The majority of people calling themselves Israeli likely descended from Khasars who converted to Judaism. Imagine if the people of Ireland, who converted to Roman Catholicism, thought they had a god given right to ‘return’ to Rome and Italy.
Silly hoomans.
This ruling is obviously absurd.
@29 for the win!
“That’s because atheism is a non-prophet organization.”
I think that the law is reasonable, given the fact that Israel is a racist state.

The people are KhaZars with a z not with an s. And the debate of the European Jews not being of Abrahamic lineage is loose at best. Mainly supported by people that wish to discount their heritage to prove they are unfit to live in Israel and have no right to claim it as theirs.
In essence, antisemitic garbage.
But then you believe the myth of voting out incumbents will change life in the US. When all it does is push out one group of plutocrats for another.
Until the Plutocratic system is ended there will be no change. Vote all you want, it will not make a difference and it hasn’t since the 1870′s.
Naive little monkey.

I think long term this will taint the credibility of actual rape victims, this can’t be good.
greg, there’s no such thing as honour killing in Islam. Only extremists do it. The Islamic law is, if A rapes B, family of B can either kill A forgive A.
To those complaining about what neighboring countries judiciary would have done, it is irrelevant. It would still be wrong and a travesty.
He lied to get laid. If that’s rape it’s pretty common.
What was it they gave the couple for publicly kissing in Dubai?
Here is a youtube video on the topic, very interesting: http://youtube.com/watch?v=cn0PVk8muFc
