Grace Tame is back in the news. She has dismissed the thoroughly documented rape of women – rape as a weapon of war – during the Islamic attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 as propaganda. One could hardly utter a more sickening claim.

There is now enough evidence to support the proposition that Tame has deep psychological problems. Whether it is autism, as suggested in one report, or some other affliction, it is clear that Tame is out of touch with her social environment and has problems rationally processing the social and political issues she dabbles in.

Of course, the usual gang in the media rush to her support. But that support is politically motivated. It would be far better – and merciful – for her real friends to take her aside and counsel her and, if necessary, seek psychological support.
