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.
Maybe this will Streisand effect the reality of the Israeli rapes.
Other newspapers should definitely report that Israel is suing the NYT for reporting about rape in Israeli prisons.
WHAT? ISRAEL HAS BEEN RAPING PALESTINIAN PRISONERS?
Yes, it’s been caught on camera.
They have trained their dogs to do so as well, according to Palestinian testimony.
