| I find it interesting to see the other thread right next to this one re opening the October 7 discussion on rapes |
Despite the many Jewish Holocaust survivors who claimed it happened to them and other Jewish prisoners, these same descendants are implying their ancestors lied about their treatment under Nazi Germany. |
The report just came out. This story was to counter the anticipated release of the report. |
| Kristof mentions two people with firsthand accounts. One of them Isso Amro, has changed his story. His initial accounts on multiple occasions have no mention of sexual assault. The New York Times was apparently ignorant of this, or just didn't care. |
| Israelis don't consider themselves to be raping people because they don't view Palestinians as people but rather as something subhuman. Not unexpected from a state that is an apartheid system |
There were 12 firsthand accounts of the rape. Given the nature of the Israeli regime, I'm far more inclined to believe this is inline with their behavior. If you're willing to genocide a population, then raping them is pretty acceptable in their view. |

Rape of Palestinians prisoners has been widely reported and documented for years. Israelis openly praised the Sde Teiman rapists as heroes. Even as it was filmed on camera for the world to see.
Plus, Israel blocks Red Cross access to these prisons as required by the Geneva Conventions. Indicating a coverup. |
Ironically this person is denying parts of the Holocaust |
STOP WITH THE LIES. I have had enough of you dragging that good man’s name in the mud. Just stop it. |
The NYT typically has good fact checking and certainly would have perfected it for this piece |
You have to understand that Netanyahu said the spend millions of dollars to pay influencers aka trolls to flood social media with positive Israeli tales, and negative ones about anyone disagreeing with Israel. |
It is really disorienting to see the same people who loudly excoriated the NYT for its reporting about the rape and torture of women on 10/7 now praising the NYT lavishly, while their counterparts have switched their positions. Opposite Day. |
Why can’t both be true? Right now it’s in Israel’s hands to stop. And the US could link funding to not violating international law. |
| Israel will go down as one of history’s greatest villains. |
But that is not happening here at all. Why do you always always lie? I didn’t lavish praise on the NYT. I merely said they are known as good fact checkers but like every org breaking huge news (the few that are left), mistakes are made. |
