The contents of the Israeli Association of Rape Crisis Center’s paper alleging “systematic” Hamas rape derive largely from discredited second-hand testimonies and debunked media reports. Among its most heavily cited sources is a dubious NY Times article that triggered a staff revolt at the paper.

Is anyone else seeing these stories the last couple of days and bracing for some horrific evidence of

spoilerThe systematic and intentional rape of Palestinians by Isreali troops and settlers

thats probably like a week from coming out? We know it's all projection, we know they see Palestinians as "human animals", we've seen the contrast between the chipper umharmed Isreali prisoners and the traumatized wraithlike Palestinians that were released during the prisoner exchange. We've seen the piles of bloody body bags in the desert and the reports of organ theft. It's clear which side views the other as human beings and which side does not, howthe fuck are they gonna expect us to believe that akshually Hamas are the rapists, other than just banking on racism?
