Some highlights of @gettleman's "Hamas sexual violence" NYT story so far:
- At least four of his purported "witnesses" have been caught lying through their teeth (Sapir, Yossi Landau, Raz Cohen, unnamed medic)
- Relatives of NYT's purported "symbol" of Hamas rape, Gal Abdush, say that she was not sexually assaulted and denounced @gettleman for falsely claiming otherwise, as well as for misleading them
- Gettleman's co-"reporters" Anat Schwartz and Adam Sella saw their story as "important to Israeli hasbara"; Schwartz also favorited pro-genocide social media posts
- NYT could not find a single Israeli rape crisis center or medical facility that reported any cases of Oct. 7th sexual assault
- There is zero forensic and physical evidence
- Those of us who challenged this fraud were smeared as "rape denialists."
I don’t care how this comes across, but this article is a disturbing case study on the sociopathic nature of Israeli society. Finding arousal in the prospect of soldiers entering a concentration camp to massacre Palestinians and displace them further is utterly abhorrent.
the New York Times just published another piece pushing the "sexualized violence" claim, though they are careful to never use the term rape, "mass rape" or "systematic". The entire Israeli propaganda apparatus is boosting it, including government accounts. They love this so much
@BenGreenJeru@paulg@migueldeicaza How is this not according to my definitions an apartheid? Like genuinely what are you talking about. And no I will not ever step foot in your fascist religious extremist state.
@BenGreenJeru@paulg@migueldeicaza You just gave the whole game away. You just admitted apartheid is happening, you just think there’s a legitimate reason for it to happen.
@BenGreenJeru@paulg@migueldeicaza Define carpet bombing then? Fucking moron man, 85% of gazans have been displaced. 29,000 TONS of explosives have been dropped. Why do you sit here and lie about easily researchable bullshit?
@BenGreenJeru@paulg@migueldeicaza Who are Paul or Miguel? And you keep talking about how you’re not allowed in Gaza. Yet won’t acknowledge basic facts about the apartheid Israel is enacting
@BenGreenJeru@paulg@migueldeicaza This is just about the first month. Again, why lie about things like this if you expect me to take your argument serious about Apartheid
@BenGreenJeru@paulg@migueldeicaza And when an opportunity arises for a ceasefire for negotiations to return those hostages, I certainly wouldn’t condition any pause for an exchange with the irradiation of the group who are holding them. But that’s just me
@BenGreenJeru@paulg@migueldeicaza No use here. Own it bro, you and the state you live in are violent religious extremists no better than any “jihadist” group you pretend you’re afraid of.
