Israel is preparing legal action against The New York Times after the newspaper published an article describing the rapes of Palestinian prisoners in its custody.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) announced its decision to sue on X on Thursday, after the paper doubled down in its defence of the report.
“Nicholas Kristof’s deeply reported piece of opinion journalism starts with a proposition to readers: ‘Whatever our views of the Middle East conflict, we should be able to unite in condemning rape,'” a spokesperson for The New York Times said.
Kristof’s story contained harrowing testimonies of the rape of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers, which included accounts of prisoners being mounted by dogs, penetrated by carrots, and rectums torn by batons.
Performative. Israel will never allow for discovery or let any leadership take the stand. Everyday I hope for more dead IDF. Every time a Zionist or any religious fundamentalist dies, the world moves closer to reason.
Atheist Zionists aren’t any less insufferable, though.
‘Zionist’ is separate from ‘any religious fundamentalist’. Creative interpretation supports your statement. :)
Religious or not, everyone has a system of beliefs.
If your belief system says it’s okay to rape and murder others who don’t share your belief system, then your belief system should die.
Yes, and the problem is not having beliefs, but the organizations exploiting and weaponizing them.
