There is a single source of data that the author decided to investigate, to the exclusion fo all others, basing its conclusion on the examination of a few instances of circumstantial evidence they found in that single source that they consider questionable but that are by no means conclusive. No mention of direct, conclusive and overwhelming evidence that makes their attempt at whitewashing the wholesale sadistic rape, torture and murder orgy that occurred on November 7.

Contrast this to the conclusions of an actual thorough investigation announced by the UN Special Representative Pramila Patten:

One suggests large swaths of the Israeli population are being raped by Hamas (the likelihood being slim simply because Hamas does not occupy much, if any, Israeli territory). The other suggests that some people within the few hundred hostages have been raped.
This is not making light of the rape that is happening, as such a thing is incredibly horrible and cruel. But the suggestion that it is happening en mass does not seem to be a reality.

Are you quoting sources? Could you provide the context in which either was mentioned?

I don't see how one precludes the other from being true, accurate and factual.

…according to the same source you provided.

It occurred in Israel. To Israelis. Before any hostages were taken into captivity in Gaza to be raped, tortured and likely killed.

Hence the headline: "Claims of Mass Rape by Hamas Unravel Upon Investigation"

Why are you deflecting from this simple fact?

No Israeli invaded Gaza on October 7. No Israeli attacked Palestinian villages for the express purpose sadistically commit "mass rape", raping their women (and possibly men), or killing them, or raping them before killing them, or killing them before raping them. No Israeli took Palestinian women hostage, to rape "some hostages" and possibly kill them later.

Quit comparing apples to pork bellies. It is a disgraceful proposition.

Against Israeli citizens.

You don’t need an investigation to know that such a thing simply isn’t possible at the moment -just common sense. They will rape the people they can -and have (which is bad enough!). But there simply aren’t enough hostages or colonized Israeli territory to “mass rape” in the thousands. Unless by “mass rape” you mean “rape”?

Again, those are two different things and clarification would be needed to understand what is intended by whoever is making the accusation.

It appears that you have a numerical value in mind that separates mass rape from rape, and in your case it looks like you consider fewer than 1000 rapes to be unworthy of a mass rape classification. Additionally, there is a certain minimum territory that in your mind is necessary for a mass rape to occur in, and that figure is entirely nebulous.

That brings us into a realm of the ridiculous, so brace yourself:

According to you, in a hypothetical scenario where 5000 nuns get raped in Vatican City (an area of 0.2 square miles) in a single day, this is not mass rape. Likewise, if 999 nuns get raped in Canada in a single day, that's not mass rape either.

It gets even more ridiculous from here: what if, hypothetically, ten women in Israel get brutally raped by 101 terrorists each in a single day in a concert venue that is only a thousand square feet in area , is it still not mass rape as per your calculus? How about 50 women getting brutally raped by 101 terrorists each, would that satisfy your threshold to qualify as mass rape? What if it happened in Canada and not at a concert in Israel, would that make any difference?

I warned you it would get ridiculous.

Those raped on October 7 were not prisoners. Those who continue to be raped by Hamas are not prisoners.

They're victims.

…is not.

It’s kinda a silly distinction.

The UN report was issued by the UN itself; the report you cited was issued by a group of outside volunteers who do not work for the UN.

This is a disgraceful piece of non-journalism from a far-left Israel hating publication that proclaims all things "West" are mired in white supremacy and colonization.

Note to those with a grasp on human decency: Ignore the Hamas and rape apologists. Jewish woman also must be believed.

Thank you Beastly Boy for always doing the heavy lifting.

Pretty remarkable turnaround we've made since #MeToo. Pretty upsetting, too.
