Well the header at least offers an accurate disclaimer as to the general state of October 7 discourse. Naturally, the author launches immediately in the first paragraph into lurid tales of rape unsupported by evidence, the standard for this sort of atrocity propaganda, which has been used to launder the case for a genocide which Israel and the U.S. have carried out over the past year.
" I can’t forget the semi-naked corpse of Shani Louk, paraded around Gaza on the flatbed of a truck, as hordes of men cheered on her rapists and crowded around the jeep to spit on her body"
No one knows if Shani was raped but the sight of her kidnappers spitting on her dying/dead half naked body and desecrating her to the sounds of cheering crowds is available for all to see in a video. In that kind of atmosphere of barbarism I think sexual assaults/rape isn't that far fetched. Her pelvis indeed seemed broken, who knows how and why.

Right we should believe victims only if they're Palestinians
Nice to see victim blaming is alive and well on HN.
