@Susan_Larson_TN I have a hard time understanding the purpose if the hair splitting around these reports. the report opens with the implication that there is "no evidence" but then the rest of the article goes on to question the validity of every eye witness account. "Did Hamas cut off two different women's breasts, or was it only one?" As if we're supposed to say, "oh that was only one person, not two different people - not so bad"

@Susan_Larson_TN it is critical that some stories sound similar - use of knives to stab while raping. ...they would sound similar if there was a lot of that going on, but that runs counter to the "no evidence" claim at the top of the story. They also site Mondoweiss which has been splitting hairs over this story, meanwhile has already published story about IDF attacking civilians when there are conflicting accounts of what happened and who was shooting. So, speaking of credibility issues...

@Susan_Larson_TN ...it just seems like, in the context of everything else that was going on on 10/7, the idea that Hamas raped a bunch of people is sadly not hard to believe. But lots of people seem to be trying real hard to rationalize denying that actually happened. Why?
