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.

AlwaysNowNeverNotMe ( @AlwaysNowNeverNotMe@kbin.social ) 25•4 months agoNot immediately reflexively endorsing every Israeli action in perpetuity is antisemetic, I’ve reported you to the ICC.

I’d prefer some other agency reported the story given Grayzone’s track record
ThatFembyWho ( @ThatFembyWho@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English5•4 months agoBlegh every war is a crime. I don’t know if there has ever been a war that didn’t involve rape. Even the allies in WWII (“a just war”) were infamous for that, both in the European and Pacific theaters. So it’s not surprising now.
But yes, any Hamas who commit atrocities, may they burn in hell if there is such a place. Same as IDF and settlers who do so.

Statistically, sure, there must’ve been rape cases in Japan with american perpetrators. I wouldn’t say that’s relevant in any way to the discussion, though.

Overall, we rate The Grayzone Far-Left Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, and consistent one-sided reporting.
