Times ‘Israel/Hamas’ article is slammed for lack of evidence. Why was it published?
The first duty of any journalist – including newspaper reporters – is to the facts. This appears to have eluded staff at The Times (or was it The Sunday Times) with an article claiming that Hamas personnel were “on a mission” to rape Israelis on October 7,
It alleges that Hamas both raped and murdered.
But it seems just one element of the story was missing: evidence.
Some were quite happy to take the story at face value…
My God.. this is one of the most horrifying & appalling stories I’ve ever read. How anyone could possibly support Hamas after this is unconscionable. https://t.co/m03EBXhgkC

… which leads this professional journalist to question that fellow (former) newspaper editor’s credibility.
In contrast, there has been a deluge of disbelief. I’m putting this on the top because it provides access to information contradicting the Times claims. This Writer has a problem with the source material because it suggests that babies were killed and beheaded, and this contradicts what was previously known (Israeli figures have shown that no babies were among the dead, although the statistics are, of course, always subject to revision). But the fact that rape is not mentioned in a report that makes so many other claims is strong evidence against the Times story:
Interesting. https://t.co/hxCYr5DTFX
When I read this report from forensic pathologists, rape was not mentioned. It was a highly emotive report, and highlighted difficulties of finding the exact cause of death, even identification for several reasons. Could you please provide…— Helen Black (@HambergBlack) December 3, 2023
Here’s the deluge:
Still no evidence on that yet here you are

Lies and more lies, you guys keep saying things you can’t prove, not even the tale of the beheaded babies.

This is fake.
Don't spread hatred. We can do better….. This is FAKE NEWS.— General Classic ✳️ (@owolabiclassic) December 2, 2023
This report is untrue. If hamas were racists they would have done it to hostages and they been released and all are saying they were treated well

This report is completely untrue. If hamas were racists they would have done it to hostages and they been released and all are saying they were treated well.

No evidence but just believe them please … please believe them ….

Based on no evidence , this a complete mockery.
We have proof that the same people who are being falsely accused of rape took good care of their hostages(it doesn’t add up)
On the other hand , the accusers have lied and continued to lie on several occasions why to believe…

It is accurate to say that Israel and its representatives have lied repeatedly.
And without evidence, the Times story is just another fairy tale.
I wonder if any will suddenly be magicked up, now we’ve demanded it?
