1. What reason would Nicholas Kristoff have to do so, to report that which (as claimed) is not true?

Let's see--a winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, reporting for the NYT since 1984... So, he's going to piss off his reputation and career with an unsubstantiated report this serious? Has he ever had an anti-Israeli bias in this reporting (not that I know of, but of course it will be claimed now). Perhaps those who constantly and immediately claim "LIES" to that which is unpleasant to hear or read, might just want to take a breath and do more research on their own. Interesting that it is the reports of widespread rape of civilians and not the repeatedly documented mass killings of that same population that has enraged.
