My sources have long denied the claimed rapes. Recently a few very astute observers I've discovered have very carefully examined things in the public domain:
1) There is not substantive evidence of a single rape. No testimony of a victim or observer. No physical evidence that doesn't have other explanations.
2) A tediously long article in Ha'aretz whose headline proclaimed 'testimony after testiomony' had nothing as such. The scientist investigating them is an International Relations expert who gets offended by requests for hard evidence, or even stating a number of incidents. There is no 'rape kit' or similar objective methodology.
3) Various photos shown either have obvious alternative explanations or come from previous events (as proven in web photo searches).
4) Israel is refusing to cooperating with UN investigators (nothing new).
Here's one long twitter thread.
Here's a deconstruction of the Ha'aretz article.
Even if there had been rapes, it would not justify Israel's subsequent war crimes and genocide on Gaza, which have included staggering numbers of dead women and children, whose survivors are themselves still in great suffering and peril, with little help from the hopeful thoughts of US politicians including Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. What needed is to stop arming Israel until they comply with international law and agreements.
