Sabbar Kashur Convicted of Rape By Deception for Claiming He's Jewish

Here's an interesting moral dilemma for you, dear reader: 30-year-old was out on the town in Israel when he met a nice Jewish woman. Though he's actually Arab, he claimed to be a Jewish bachelor looking for a long-term relationship...

It seems their evening went swimmingly, for later on that eve they repaired to a nearby building, where they had consensual sex. Only later did the woman realize that Kashur was Arab. So she filed a police report claiming she was raped.

Though lying during the mating dance in America is as common as William Shatner blubbering on TV, this was seen through the lens of Arab-Israeli relations, which means it was about to get weird.

Kashur ended up pleading guilty to rape by deception and was sentenced to 18-months in the slam. A panel of judges ruled it a "a classical rape by force." Their reasoning:

"If she hadn't thought the accused was a Jewish bachelor interested in a serious romantic relationship, she would not have cooperated," the judges wrote.

"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."

"When the very basis of trust between human beings drops, especially when the matters at hand are so intimate, sensitive and fateful, the court is required to stand firmly at the side of the victims ... otherwise, they will be used, manipulated and misled, while paying only a tolerable and symbolic price." 

So what do you think, dear reader? Kashur clearly engaged in deception. But doesn't the woman hold some responsibility here? If she's going to take sexual partners under certain conditions, is it not her responsibility to make sure those conditions are met before jumping into bed? (Special thanks to St. Paul Bureau Chief Lorie for the tip.)
