We're talking about sexual assault here. When you censor and refer to it as SA, you're minimising the gravitas of the crime. It's very much a crime committed or at least sanctioned by a state. It's manipulation. Hamas invited the UN to investigate accusations of them sexually assualting prisoners. On the other hand we've seen evidence of Israel sexually assaulting prisoners and there's no action or sanction. This is allowed to happen because key words that we're rightfully appalled by are initialised or censored, so we don't see it as bad as it is.
But as I said, this is an issue that extends just beyond this particular incident.
