Before I do that can I say this?
I guess what you mean to ask is: was this part of the NYT report or not? Is that right?
And also, I agree that much of that report was BS, but is that enough to discredit every single story in it? You may pretty well be denying rapes that did take place. I have no reason to deny the testimonies of some of these women. Hamas fighters are not angels and it would be quite naive to assume that no rape happened. What I said does not suggest that Hamas carries out systematic rape. Maybe that is a claim more worth your time to moderate than "some victims came out and spoke out about sexual assault during captivity."
But if this is how things roll in this community then just ban me ๐
Here is a very long article discrediting the entire NYT article https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schwartz-october-7
