Two of the three victims specifically singled out by the New York Times in a marquee exposé published in December, which alleged that Hamas had deliberately weaponized sexual violence during the October 7 attacks, were not in fact victims of sexual assault, according to the spokesperson for the Kibbutz Be’eri, which the Times identified as the location of the attack.

The Times article described three alleged victims of sexual assault for whom it reported specific biographical information. One, known as the “woman in the black dress,” was Gal Abdush. Some of her family members have contested the claims made by the Times. The other two alleged victims were unnamed teenage sisters from Kibbutz Be’eri whose precise ages were listed in the New York Times, making it possible to identify them.

When asked about the claims made by the New York Times, Paikin independently raised their name. “You’re talking about the Sharabi girls?” she said. “No, they just — they were shot. I’m saying ‘just,’ but they were shot and were not subjected to sexual abuse.” Paikin also disputed the graphic and highly detailed claims of the Israeli special forces paramedic who served as the source for the allegation, which was published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, and other media outlets. “It’s not true,” she told The Intercept, referring to the paramedic’s claims about the girls. “They were not sexually abused.”

      Who said about thousand? Know your place.

      This garbage far left keeps spouting nonsense.

      ‘Hamas never raped anyone. Yes I believe that.’

      There now satisfied?

        If people say you raped someone would you like them to present evidence?

        Especially if their claims keep getting proven false showing that actually no rape happened. Stooping so low to use Zaka as a source for their claims.

        Would you accept it if people just randomly started calling you a rapist too?

            You can keep screaming it over and over. Consider coming with evidence. People tend to take you more seriously when you do that.

            What’s that, there’s no evidence?

              There is eyewitness evidence, which you ignore as usual.

              But it’s interesting to see that you think the UN is not a credible source. No doubt you’ll still keep quoting them when it serves your needs

                No it’s literally Zaka and the discredited paramedic.

                The UN employee got questioned by Journalists today and it’s just the same stuff from this NYT article.

                A complete embaressment

                  The UN team did way more than that. It “conducted 33 meetings with Israeli representatives, examining more than 5,000 photographic images and 50 hours of video footage. It conducted 34 confidential interviews including with survivors and witnesses of the 7 October attacks, released hostages, first responders and others.”

                    Yes you just mentioned Zaka in there.

                    And after reviewing the footage the UN found zero evidence of rape.
