The Commission faced several challenges in its investigation. In relation to Gaza, the Commission’s ability to reach out to victims and witnesses was limited, due to the continuing fighting on the ground and major communications disruption. In relation to Israel, Israeli officials repeatedly publicly announced Israel’s refusal to cooperate with the Commission’s investigation. Israeli officials reportedly barred medical professionals and others from being in contact with the Commission after it approached medical professionals in Israel in December 2023.
The Commission has reviewed testimonies obtained by journalists and the Israeli police concerning rape but has not been able to independently verify such allegations, due to a lack of access to victims, witnesses and crime sites and the obstruction of its investigations by the Israeli authorities. The Commission was unable to review the unedited version of such testimonies. For the same reasons, the Commission was also unable to verify reports of sexualized torture and genital mutilation. Additionally, the Commission found some specific allegations to be false, inaccurate or contradictory with other evidence or statements and discounted these from its assessment.
Specific victim stories hmm?
the sister of a woman cited in the New York Times piece by Jeffrey Gettleman as evidence of "mass rapes" on October 7th has just come out and said "there is no proof that there was rape."

There are many many other accounts in that article, and i can think of multiple reasons why a family may not want their dead daughter/sister becoming a poster child for "horribly raped and mutilated victim," some of which have nothing to do with what actually happened.
There is literally no other victim named in that article, nor has any victim or any credible witness come forward in any of the UN investigations.
Zaka is an absolute racist joke and their lies have been debunked in UN reports. If you find “One continues to rape her, and the other throws her breast to someone else, and they play with it, throw it, and it falls on the road,” Sapir said at all credible, I don't know what to tell you.
The sister of the alleged victim would not be able to comment on all other instances of rape discussed. The biased and misleading language used by zei_squirrel makes me view them as less likely to have access to and ability to analyze evidence than NY Times journalists.
Finally, as someone who witnessed sexual violence before, and someone who immigrated to US from what is now a war zone, i am have no problem believing any of the accounts in the article above.
Lol yes, let's check in on the NY Times journalists:
if I told you that the New York Times hired a recently graduated college student with only a couple prior articles written on the subject of food and cooking to be their lead on the ground "reporter" on the "mass rape" hoax they fabricated, would you believe it?

I don't expect you to admit you are wrong but sharing the below thread for other commentators to show how credible the "witnesses" in the article are:

I am sure some people on twitter think NY Times article, that NY Times stands by is a massive conspiracy. These types of tweets are dime a dozen for any topic these days.
