Watching from Australia it is just insane to me that people in the USA need to pretend to believe the lies Israel told about Hamas using rape as a weapon of war on October 7 or be accused of ‘rape denialism’. The UN has found no evidence of such rapes in the most detailed investigation that has taken place. The Time in the UK got someone to trawl through the Dark Web and found no footage of Hamas raping women. The New York Times article ‘Screams Without Words’ was so appalling that the family of a woman it claimed had been raped disputed the story, and the journalist who wrote it admitted he was in the business of ‘telling stories’ rather than looking for evidence. Most of the accusations come from Zaka, which also claimed 40 babies had been beheaded. Basically, the ‘mass rapes as a weapon of war’ is a lie, but apparently no one is allowed to say that. Why not?
