1/ We continue our investigation into the "evidence" Isaac Chotiner cited to call Palestinians mass rapists.
Our first thread exposed lies in Chotiner's first 3 sentences. This thread will examine the dehumanizing lies Chotiner pushed in sentence 4.
It will be a long thread.
2/ Reminder of context: Chotiner was fed incompetent, obvious propaganda.
- "haven’t interviewed actual witnesses"
- "not equipped to talk to [victims]"
- "we don’t work on issues like this"
- "they did not come prepared to collect the testimony and collect the evidence"
3/ Instead of the signature Chotiner interview style -- letting an incompetent subject expose themselves -- he meticulously crafted an introduction to make the reader believe the racist narrative of Palestinian rapists.
Not a single account in Chotiner's introduction is true.
1/ Isaac Chotiner was one of the most consequential disseminators of the mass rape lie used to justify genocide.
(Thread 1 of 2 on this New Yorker article by Chotiner.)
2/ A few weeks before Chotiner helped PHRI spread the "Palestinians are mass rapists" propaganda, the Israeli government ran a focus group for genocide propaganda.
