> After all Israel is the wakanda of pedos. I thought that was any religious institution in the US and abroad! Nice to know that Christian priests and conservatives don't have monopoly on abusing children. /s - https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/c74103d3971o https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/c74103d3971o (3 days ago) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_c...

Or they're teachers: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=teacher+sex+with+pupils&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=teacher+sex+with+pupils&ia=web Or maybe no conclusions can be drawn without per-capita offense rates. Of course it's interesting that there are not many articles about sex offenders fleeing to other countries, especially since Israel has such a small population.

    A study limited to organized religious institutions, in a country where, of all religions, Christians are the overwhelming majority, found that most of the abuse occurred in Christian institutions? What a shock. It even omits how many of the respondents were from which religion (despite including such a breakdown for respondent age), so we can't work out per-capita numbers. But despite trying very hard to work backwards from a conclusion, the study is not entirely useless - it contains two pieces of actual information: it reported that 0.4% were sexually abused by an adult or leader in a religious institution, and that boys were 8x more likely to be abused than girls. So we can conclude that children are 10x more likely to be abused by a public school teacher [1], and that homosexuals are 8x more likely to abuse than heterosexuals. [1] An earlier survey of 4,340 adults examining sexual attitudes and experiences reported that 4.1 percent of respondents had a physical sexual experience with a teacher. - https://www.ed.gov/sites/ed/files/rschstat/research/pubs/misconductreview/report.pdf https://www.ed.gov/sites/ed/files/rschstat/research/pubs/mis... page 18

      Nah, the study shows there is a reason there is a whole wiki page for all the cases of abuse by the church. It's an epidemic, enough to see a correlation and stereotype that priests are the most likely offender. It's even in pop culture, when you think of a child abuser, who do you think of: a priest, right? I wanna dig into studies about conservatives which also are major child abusers. Maybe the people with a conservative faith and a conservative political stance have a big overlap, there must be studies for that. I will do the research and get back to you.
