Exclusive reports on Israel rape claims
Did Hamas carry out a campaign of mass rape on October 7?
Hola, amigos. I know it's been a long time since I rapped at ya.*
I have been working on a big investigation for the last three months. I have been examining Israeli claims that Hamas committed mass rape on Oct. 7. I will give you an exclusive preview. The first report will come out in a few days.
It will be in The Intercept. It’s about Zaka. It’s a search-and-rescue organization that was given the task of recovering human remains after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas. Israeli soldiers trained in recovering corpses and preserving evidence were told to stand down, and the untrained Zaka volunteers were sent in instead. Zaka is the source for much if not most of the allegations of rape and sexual violence.
The whole story is unbelievably sordid and cynical. Based on decades of reports, Zaka resides at the intersection where Enron, Epstein Island, and George Santos all meet. There’s a lot to the investigation, so stay tuned.
The following week, YES Magazine will publish part I of my investigation into Israel’s claims of mass rape. Let me state clearly that Israel has weaponized #metoo. It accuses anyone who asks for evidence - even leading U.N. women’s groups - of being rape denialists. Israel is demanding that everyone accept flimsy stories with zero evidence as true. And the corporate media have fallen in line.
No one believes all the fake Israeli stories about dead babies on Oct. 7, that hospitals in Gaza were Hamas command centers, that UNRWA workers joined in the Oct. 7 attacks. But unfortunately some leftists have fallen for Israeli hasbara, propaganda, about the mass rape claims because Israel has manipulated genuine concerns about rape denialism and rape as a weapon of war.
And Israel has used the fake mass rape claims as cover for its genocidal war on Palestine.
I explain there are only a dozen sources for the vast majority of rape allegations. And only two main eyewitnesses who claim they witnessed women being raped on Oct. 7. That’s it. Israel’s entire case rests on two people whose stories are suspect. And there is zero physical evidence to back it up: no photo or video evidence, no forensic evidence, and no survivor testimony. On top of that, all but one of the 12 sources are connected to the Israeli police and military.
Instead, the media regurgitate Israeli propaganda. That is one of the most remarkable aspects of the story. The only rules to journalism are “Verify. Verify. Verify.” Instead, the corporate media offer spurious excuses why there is no evidence — which is contradicted by other reporting — and then say believe dodgy claims coming from the Israeli government.
I expect I will earn special hatred from Zionists of all stripes. I welcome it. So stay tuned.
