Rabbi Leo Dee: Our Arab neighbors are being abused by their own governments – they need our help – Opinion: Nations that abuse the human rights of their own citizens will always need an external ‚enemy‘ in order to continue the subjugation of its own population; And in the case of the Arabs, that enemy is Israel | ynetnews

In February 2019, Louise and David Turpin were sentenced to 25 years in prison for abusing their 13 children in California. Prosecutors stated that the children “were held captive in the family’s house, starved and beaten for years.” The Turpins justified their abusive behavior to themselves and to their children as “protecting them from the corruption of an awful society.” Apparently one of the methods of justifying abuse to victims is by persuading them that there is a greater threat coming from outside.
