"   The Jerusalem Post reports that Israeli&amp;#039;s Tel Aviv District Court Judge Nissim Yeshaya has requested to resign after unacceptably commenting that &amp;quot;some girls like to be raped&amp;quot; during the appeal of a six-year-old gang rape verdict \u2014 when a thirteen-year-old girl was assaulted by four Palestinian boys from the Shuafat refugee camp. During the hearing, as the girl pressed for her assault to be considered a terrorist act and receive the appropriate government compensation, Yeshaya said out loud (&amp;quot;out of nowhere,&amp;quot; says one spectator) that some women enjoyed rape. His comment, met with stunned silence, has been taken very seriously by government and court officials: Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called it &amp;quot;unacceptable&amp;quot; and formally withdrew his support for Yeshaya as the leader of the Likud Party&amp;#039;s court. A new candidate is now being scouted for the June 27th race, and multiple women&amp;#039;s groups are also \u2014 understandably \u2014 up in arms. While the court, to its credit, offers up a no-bullshit apology for the statement (&amp;quot;[Yeshaya did not intend] to hurt or disrespect rape victims. The judge apologizes for his comment.&amp;quot;) Yeshaya has defended his words by claiming they&amp;#039;ve been misconstrued. &amp;quot;This is twisted and was taken out of context. This was not a rape trial. I am retired and this was a non-formal hearing in the social security&amp;#039;s appeals committee. There was an argument because she [the lawyer] says the girl she represents was raped a few years ago and claims this is a terrorist act. I presented this as an example. I said, &amp;#039;if there&amp;#039;s a rape victim that was not hurt and enjoyed the rape, then so and so,&amp;#039; and she [the lawyer] twisted it.&amp;quot; HahahhaAAA. Okay. Let&amp;#039;s parse that out for a sec. Problem A) Rape is hurt. That&amp;#039;s like saying &amp;quot;She was murdered but not hurt.&amp;quot; Problem B) &amp;quot;Enjoying&amp;quot; a rape \u2014 and I&amp;#039;m not counting the body&amp;#039;s instinctive physical responses, like lubrication \u2014 makes it not a rape.
