    No this sexual assault story definitely proves it after all the other ones were debunked. We have no incentive to believe israel consistently lies about these stories to manufacture consent for Genocide.

    So convenient to bring it up 120 days after her release after the last batch of israeli rape accusations started to die down. Now they can start screaming for Hamas rape again while starving Gaza.

    If only israel didn’t weaponize false rape accusations to manufacture consent for Genocide fifty times this would be a lot easier to believe.

        Not changing the story to gradually worsen every month sure helps credibilty.

        This woman did not say she was raped btw.

          Not saying the story consistently is precisely a sign that the trauma is actually real. Human brains actually work like that.

            Not a woman myself but I think there’s a difference between getting groped and what most people would think of with the term ‘raped’

              You don’t compare in trauma therapy, it’s an unwise road to travel.

                But you do in assessing proper reaction and punishment to the perpetrator. The wording used to the victim is a thin ice to thread and can be a lot different, completely for good reasons. The wording used to put the perpetrator on trial, especially if it appeals to the jury via public awareness, needs to be very specific, and any deviations from using exact words with right connotations is either used to lighten the crime or make it more vile than it perceptible is.

                  Yup exactly which is why I think what is happening in Gaza is the completely proper reaction to thousands of Israelis being slaughtered in their beds, babies raped and burned alive, and mother’s beheaded in front of their daughters.
