In reply to the discussion: New York Times confirms Israel using dogs to rape. [View all]sarisataka
(22,808 posts)93. That is indeed possible however the reality is
many dismiss anything said by Israel out of hand while immediately accepting any claim made by Hamas. Not to say all Palestinians are Hamas but Hamas does have virtually complete control of what is reported from Gaza. Also not to deny Israel primarily controls the narrative on their side, but it is much easier for individual Israelis to be heard than individual Palestinians in Gaza.
Credit for acknowledging the sexual assaults on Israeli women; most cannot bring themselves to say that. I also believe there have been sexual assaults of Palestinians and as I said above, I condemn sexual violence no matter who does it and want to see the perpetrators brought to justice.

Very true. But it lends a bit more heft to the notion that the story is valid, all things considered.

Turns out there was an asterisk next to the phrase "Never Again*" with regards to Israel.

That's because a few of the initial storys were debunked (see link), so many believed all that followed was BS

All you have to do is scroll through this entire post and you will see many dismiss what the Palestinians said.

Wondering how other Islamic nations are going to respond to this. I have no problem with anything they decide to do.

Even if it's absolutely true, still wouldn't justify an unlimited response

I would view this report with caution. There are conflicting reports. Use discretion when sharing on other sites.

His wording isn't quite accurate, but the abuse sounds like it has been detailed in multiple detainee interviews
