@olivertraldi@DouthatNYT I agree this is an egregious distortion of the primary source as the authors deliberately misrepresent Hutt's intent. The humanities allow significant leeway in what could be a "reasonable interpretation" of text providing competing theories. Your example is more akin to fraud.
@SkyYaldaHakim@KimGhattas@skyzein@DominicWaghorn Civilian casualties obviously require careful investigation and criticism, but make no mistake: "rare access" means regime-approved access to further propoganda and their information war. An ethical journalist would care about this.
@droteha@wrmead@JonahDispatch To ignore these points means you don't read or don't care and will believe/recirculate any anti-Israel content, even if it tries justifies broad targeting of Jews, as your post does. This is a mind virus and idiotic, which is Mead's point.
@droteha@wrmead@JonahDispatch By any rigorous and objective assessment, this is one of the lowest civilian to combatant fatality rates in the history of urban warfare (see John Spencer analysis at West Point)
@droteha@wrmead@JonahDispatch Antisemitism and radical antizionism are utterly stupefying and corrosive to rational arguments:
1) political disagreements with the state of Israel in no way justify broad targeting Jewish community and Jewish identity throughout the world. The idf did not cause bondi beach.
@DanFmTo@NickKristof To not believe this and to feel Kristoff article, which relies on less than ten testimonies of Hamas affiliates to support outlandish claims of rape dogs, carrot insertions and systematic sexual violence against children, is credible reflects a profound corruption of mind
@DanFmTo@NickKristof It is no surprise that in the fog and shock of this event certain witness testimonies may be stretched. The 10/7 report has 10000 images and 2000 hrs of footage, largely obtained in first person view by Hamas, and corroborates multiple large scale investigations by NYT and UN
@DanFmTo@NickKristof How does it feel to be utterly disgusting and pathetic? The documentation of sexual violence against Israelis is absolutely voluminous and you have neither the time nor guts to go through it.

@saribashi@NickKristof You are disgusting and evil. Compare your hack journalism to the thousands of photos and 200 hrs of video depicting the sexual violence of October seventh. And the claim of rape dogs is so pathetic and thinly sourced its publication could only result from a mind virus.
@malachybrowne@KimGhattas@sanjanamv@Lattif@LaurenLeatherby Destruction is a state of constant war and misery, as a militia and terrorist organization entrenched itself under the putative watch of the UN and Lebanese state purely for the elimination of Israel and murder of its citizens. Israel has every right to change this status quo.
