How can there be many instances of sexual violence without a single perpetrator or victim?
This is even more outrageous since there are Palestinian men, women, and children who have stepped forward as victims of SV but we are still just talking about imagined crimes again Israelis.
The Israeli authorities didn’t let the researchers talk to any of the alleged victims personally so, yeah, there’s that.
Israeli state: “These people have been raped and coerced by Hamas!” Investigators: “can we talk to them directly?” Israeli stats: “no.”
Do you have any source for this. I don’t doubt it but I need to debunk this crap that I don’t believe is true.
I’ll look for it. I saw it in a newsarticle from my country’s region, which is pro-western, anti-israel.in theory but sending weapons nonetheless in practice kind of country.

Ok so this is the full link (in Dutch).
The last sentence of this screenshot literally translates to: researchers spoke to Israeli institutions but were not able to speak to victims directly.
UPDATE:
Found a perfect debunk takedown.
EDIT: The BBC is running with it of course.. This was its intended purpose.

There is so much bullshit sounding biased crap in this report that I can’t believe any of it is true.
“The vast death toll from the 7 October attacks in multiple locations overstretched the response capacities of the Israeli authorities”
various forms of violence occurred, with extensive brutality, including postmortem mutilation and booby-trapping of corpses;
Does anyone have any sources of rational discussion on this document or information on how it was produced?
