> Israel stopped violently expropriating Arab lands

This is objectively happening in the West Bank and Gaza.

> assaulting and raping Arabs without consequences.

This is also objectively happening. A group of IDF soldiers were filmed raping a man to death. Their punishment? Literally nothing. They are cheered by some.

You cannot possibly believe that these sorts of behaviors are helping calm things.

That's not true, he's alive and was released to Gaza in a hostage-for-prisoner exchange.

It's probably hard to win a case without the victim to testify. The video is something, but far too low-quality to prove who did what beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors can't ignore evidentiary standards and don't like to lose cases.

At least they were detained and investigated. Can you say the same of the individuals who paraded their rape victims around the streets of Gaza?
