Fraudulent Reporting

Ali Abunimah explains that two reporters with zero reporting experience, and related to each other, became star co-authors in the New York Times stories about rapes that allegedly occurred on October 7, rapes for which there is still no material evidence (despite a massive effort including, yes, DNA testing hundreds of bodies), only very unbelievable stories from claimed witnesses (not actual victims).

Much of this reporting has now been debunked, and New York Times is ending it's association with one of the authors after their very racist "likes" on social media were discovered (in violation of Times policies).  But it still has not described how two people from Israel rose to become star co-authors in the paper of record so quickly.

Here's the Grayzone article which first discussed the fraudulent reporting in the NYTimes.  (The fraudulency of the rape allegations themselves were discussed in previous articles.)

Here's The Intercept article which builds upon the Grayzone article (but fails to acknowledge the Grayzone's earlier and pioneering reporting on the issue).
