Two of the three victims specifically singled out by the New York Times in a marquee exposé published in December, which alleged that Hamas had deliberately weaponized sexual violence during the October 7 attacks, were not in fact victims of sexual assault, according to the spokesperson for the Kibbutz Be’eri, which the Times identified as the location of the attack.
When asked about the claims made by the New York Times, Paikin independently raised their name. “You’re talking about the Sharabi girls?” she said. “No, they just — they were shot. I’m saying ‘just,’ but they were shot and were not subjected to sexual abuse.” Paikin also disputed the graphic and highly detailed claims of the Israeli special forces paramedic who served as the source for the allegation, which was published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and other media outlets. “It’s not true,” she told The Intercept, referring to the paramedic’s claims about the girls. “They were not sexually abused.”
A spokesperson for the Israeli government, Eylon Levy, played a lead role in connecting the anonymous paramedic with international media outlets.
Anat Schwartz — an Israeli filmmaker who, before joining the Times, appeared to have no prior experience reporting the news — was hired by the paper to investigate sexual violence on October 7
Who told you there were mass rapes? What is their motivation? Do they have any evidence to support them, or do you just believe them because the “Muslim hordes” must have done what they’re accused of by the ones actively conducting a genocide on them and admitting using mass rape as a justification for said genocide (basically the definition of hasbara)…
Edit: it’s also worth noting… We DO have proof of Israeli mass rape of Palestinian hostages. Israelis literally take to the streets to protest (really a borderline civil war if the govt didn’t listen, which they did)their “right” to do so when soldiers got in trouble for gang raping someone so bad they had to be hospitalized…
Nice rape denial.
Do you deny the rape of the Trisha Meili? …
