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.
Sorry to darken your world a little but rape and forced pregnancy are just things we do as a species. From pigs to horses, to enslaved people. We’ve been force breeding domesticated animals for longer than we’ve have had civilization. Yes we know how to make them hard and they and can be trained them to rape each other on command. That’s how puppy mills work. All you have to do is force a human being to be in the place of a female animal being impregnated.
