A cursory search of The New York Times reveals an unwavering spree of reportage about the prevalence of sexual violence towards Israelis on October 7. A United Nations commission of inquiry will probe these allegations of sexual violence against Hamas, who deny committing any rape or sexual assault. On at least one occasion, Palestinian women detained in Gaza were kept in a cage in the rain and cold without food. The newspaper has been silent about sexual violence towards Palestinians since October 7 and long before that even. To misattribute the blame for rape and sexual assault is a grave perversion of the truth.
