the New York Times just published another piece pushing the "sexualized violence" claim, though they are careful to never use the term rape, "mass rape" or "systematic". The entire Israeli propaganda apparatus is boosting it, including government accounts. They love this so much

now I read the piece carefully. What is the claim? There is no claim of systematic, intentional Hamas mass rape in it, so anyone trying to link it to that hoax is a clear propagandist liar, and shows how desperate they really are to keep that genocidal atrocity hoax alive

do a search for the term "rape", it doesn't occur once in the over 4000 word piece. Not once. So what is the claim? A prisoner released in the prior ceasefire now says that she was sexually assaulted by one Hamas guard, without specifying what the exact nature of the assault was

the NYT claims she told them what it was, but agreed to not publish it. There is also the claim that she told the same story to some Israeli doctors shortly after her release. Ok, that's fine. Here she is one month ago not mentioning it at all:

it is obvious the Israeli regime has been maneuvering on this story for a very long time together with the NYT. Right after the piece's publication, all the Israeli government accounts and political officials immediately posted prepared scripts on it. It was coordinated

more will come out about Amit Sousanna, the alleged victim of sexual violence, in the coming days and weeks. I expect it will be another Sapir, Shari Mendes, Yossi Landau. Hilariously the NYT tries to portray her as sympathetic to Palestinians to add credibility. They are experts

but right now, based on the allegation and using the evidentiary standard of Zionists and others in the Western media class, she cannot be believed. Why? Because it's just a claim she made. Zero corroborating evidence. Nothing. If you believe her, you must believe Tara Reade

Tara Reade and other women have said Biden sexually assaulted them. That's their direct testimony. The New York Times from the very beginning has undermined her testimony and questioned every single word she has said to portray her as a hysterical liar. All of Biden's victims

you can't turn up to the maximum level the dial of evidentiary standard when it suits your Zionist liberal Democrat politics, and then suddenly turn it down to the most minimal level when you need to produce and disseminate genocidal atrocity propaganda. Sorry, that doesn't work

just two days ago Bari Weiss, who of course is already pushing this new NYT sexual violence claim, said that a woman who was raped by her personal friend and fellow Zionist Yascha Mounk can't be believed because "we need corroborating physical evidence"

https://twitter.com/zei_squirrel/status/1772168686121476226

so where's the corroborating physical evidence of Amit Sousanna's claim of one incident of sexual violence which is not detailed in the piece where the word "rape" is not used once? There is none. The NYT doesn't claim to have any. They just refer to "doctors who heard her story"

do you know who actually wants to have an investigation to find that evidence? Hamas. The NYT quotes a Hamas spokesperson saying we doubt her story, but we want to investigate it, and we will when the Israeli regime stops their genocidal campaign and we can practically do so

I think that's right. Hamas should cooperate with an independent body, ideally from the UN's actually independent bodies that have an investigatory mandate, to do this investigation. And they have said they will. But the NYT and Israeli propagandists aren't interested in that

the NYT and Israeli regime have worked together to carefully craft this piece to breathe new life into their "mass rape" atrocity propaganda hoax. Every single word in that piece is framed to that end, from the first to the last, as with the Gettleman, Schwartz, Sella hoax

to give another example, they keep adding these references to supposed "experts", "doctors and professors", so as to give the air of scientific full-proof verification of the claim. But they just heard the same story as them. They don't have any corroborating physical evidence

"the NYT has reviewed the medical report from this medical doctor expert professor". What is the report? Her story that she also told them. That's the same thing. Why are you pretending it's some different higher evidentiary standard in that report. That's a propaganda tell

it's this constant signaling to expertise that has been a core element of the "mass rape" hoax and also of the other atrocity propaganda hoaxes. "Surely you can't doubt this expert medical Israeli top doctor!!!" Actually I can, because they lie constantly:

https://twitter.com/zei_squirrel/status/1765132760224846142

Dr. Chen Kugel and Dr. Nurit Bublil are literally the top Israeli medical professionals and officials who led the scientific forensic pathology teams going over the October 7 atrocity claims. And they are proven pathological liars. That's a fact

https://twitter.com/zei_squirrel/status/1765136685497569669

so when the New York Times does this constant namedropping of doctors and professors who don't have any additional evidence aside from their own allegation, they're doing propaganda intentionally. If they actually had corroborating evidence, they didn't have to do this

once again many are browbeaten into silence by the New York Times' seemingly full-proof unimpeachable narrative, exactly as when Gettleman, Schwartz and Sella published their hoax piece, before it all crumbled apart. I won't be. I have principles and I actually care about facts

one of the authors of that NYT piece is Patrick Kinglsey, who is one of the most depraved Zionist propagandists alive, repeatedly laundering their propaganda hoax claims. Ronen Bergman is the other, former Israeli military intelligence, because of course

https://twitter.com/normfinkelstein/status/1748071729866457481

it's actually insane that the New York Times can't get someone to report these obvious genocidal atrocity propaganda pieces written in coordination with the Israeli regime by someone who has not served in Israeli military intelligence. That's fucking insane. Holy shit

you won't even bother with one degree of separation? That's them exposing their depravity and shamelessness. Anat Schwartz served in Israeli military intelligence. Ronen Bergman served in Israeli military intelligence. They're writing front page NYT pieces

https://twitter.com/zei_squirrel/status/1761740292015767736

by the way there's a throwaway paragraph in the NYT piece quoting the Hamas spokesperson who rightfully says that they have ignored accounts of sexual assault and rape of Palestinians. And Kingsley and Bergman just note it and move on like it's nothing. Depraved propagandist scum

why is the NYT not writing a 4000 word piece profiling one of the many Palestinians who have been sexually assaulted and raped by the Israeli regime? They have not reported on it once. Not once as the evidentiary standard for it far exceeds this piece and their other hoax pieces

they have not reported on it because Joseph Kahn, the executive editor of the NYT, believes the same about Palestinians as their star "investigative reporter" Anat Schwartz: They are "human animals" and "Gaza must be turned into a slaughterhouse"

https://twitter.com/zei_squirrel/status/1761249450998022442

it is even more depraved and grotesque than that. The Israeli regime now openly cites the fact that the NYT hasn't reported on it to deny it and try to get US State Department officials fired with it. The NYT is a core component part of the Gaza genocide

https://twitter.com/zei_squirrel/status/1771917638538523107

and again I reiterate the crucial point: A genocidal systematically racist society like Israel always produces atrocity propaganda to justify its existence and policies. Everyone recognizes this for the slavery and Jim Crow South, Apartheid South Africa, Jews under Nazi Germany

but for Palestinians all the good Western liberals who immediately recognize this and take this into account for those other contexts, quickly abandon it and start laundering and repeating all the genocidal atrocity propaganda claims about Palestinians from Israelis uncritically

Norma Padgett is alive today. She gave direct testimony, corroborated by some physical evidence (vaginal lacerations) and another "witness", that she was violently raped by four black boys when she was 17. They were convicted in court

but she lied

https://twitter.com/zei_squirrel/status/1740553075931447508

when Ron DeSantis of all people exonerated the Groveland Four in 2019, Norma Padgett came out in the media and reiterated her claim that she was mass raped by them. This is a direct eyewitness testimony. But the New York Times doesn't believe her, they believe she's a liar

this is not ancient history. Norma Padgett is alive today and claims she was raped, but the NYT says she's a liar. They don't believe her so-called "eyewitness testimony" confirmed by the courts and multiple doctors and another "eyewitness". But Palestinians are rapist animals

there has been no independent investigation into the claims by Amit Soussana. The NYT doesn't even bother questioning her allegations. They do the opposite: They take this Israeli Norma Padgett and do everything in their power to frame her allegation as 100% proven fact

Israelis lie constantly about everything all the time to dehumanize Palestinians, as every systematically racist society does. We have seen this over and over again since October 7. Shari Mendes, Yossi Landau, Sapir, Raz Cohen, all the other Zaka scum. But Amit Soussana is holy?

who the fuck is Amit Soussana. No one knows anything about this person, but the New York Times turned this Israeli Norma Padgett into a Holy Saint whose every word is fact. No investigation needed. No critical scrutiny. In fact if you ask for it, you're the evil monstrous one

no I'm not going to play along with this grotesque genocidal farce that is being intentionally concocted in coordination with the Israeli regime by literally a person who served in Israeli military intelligence and a propagandist who has laundered their lies as his daily job

I uphold the Norma Padgett standard as a principle, unlike the NYT who says believing Padgett's claim of being mass-raped makes you a racist, but believing an uncorroborated allegation of a Palestinian being a sexual assaulter in one instance makes you pure evil. Genocidal scum
