Welcome truth from the New York Times.
In days of yore, a broken clock was right twice a day. As we live in a digital age, the adage carries no more weight. A broken clock, or more likely a smart watch or phone with no battery, shows absolutely nothing and is never right. One could generally say the same thing about The New York Times. The self-declared paper of record has become a leftwing propaganda sheet. Just as Julius Streicher’s Der Sturmer served the needs of the Nazi party, so too the most famous fish wrap in the world simply presents every supposedly objective article and of course opinion piece as the official position of the Democratic Party, the World Economic Forum, or the billionaire class that want to rule the world. The open border is good! Eat bugs! Drive electric cars! A man can be a woman!
With the above in mind, it was quite a surprise to see there a long article detailing cases of rape and sexual violence by Hamas terrorists and their civilian partners. The Times goes into detail regarding specific attacks, locations, eyewitness and post-pogrom medical reports. One has to wonder why the Times would publish an article that a) supports Israel’s contention of widespread sexual violence in the 10/7 massacre and b) goes against progressives who have chosen from the first day to identify with Hamas and downplay any claims of mass rape. About 30 years ago, one would have attributed the detailed report to “journalism”, something that the Times used to practice long ago. But one has to remember that only three years ago, a mere opinion piece by Senator Tom Cotton led to an internal revolt in the newsroom and the firing of a senior editor who had the chutzpah to let someone express an Officially Unapproved Opinion in the paper. Now, maybe there was once again an internal war between ostensible feminists who have run out of excuses for not supporting Israeli women raped, murdered, or taken into captivity and the mindless lefty drones who support anything that can weaken and destroy Israel. Even if such a battle took place, one has to wonder how the feminists won.
The article does not necessarily add any new information regarding the events in the south of Israel. It did though go into horrific detail: women raped and set on fire; women raped and shot through their private parts; women raped and “butchered”; women gang-raped and killed for sport. The Times gives horrific detail from eyewitnesses, videos, and after-death studies. They claim that there are three survivors of the sexual assaults who are all too traumatized to speak to anyone from the press. Those involved in the macabre rape and murder spree were both terrorists and civilians. They laughed and smiled as they defiled and murdered young Israeli women and mothers. A captured Islamic Jihad terrorist admitted during questioning that his cell was involved in the rape and murder of Israeli women on 10/7. The article describes a woman found in one of the overrun kibbuztim with “dozens of nails” driven into her thighs and private parts. Any comments, Rashida Tlaib?
While I do not expect the Times exposé to change anything with respect to protests and marches in favor of the barbaric murderers, the report from the left’s preeminent propaganda sheet does make it harder for the many individuals and organizations that have claimed that there is no real evidence (where are the videos?!) for mass sexual violence to continue with their arguments. The UN women’s organizations completely ignored the mass rape and murder of Jewesses for as long as they could simply because Jews don’t count. What can they do now? The times, locations, and individuals involved have been described in detail—how will those on the left continue to ignore the behavior of Palestinians and still try to pretend to have any semblance of integrity?
And this brings us to choosing sides. Let’s compare the Palestinians (all of them) to the IDF.
*Palestinians gang-raped and murdered numerous Israeli women, including young mothers; the IDF has not been accused of raping anyone in Gaza.
*Palestinians beheaded soldiers and babies; the IDF has only stripped down captives to make sure that they do not have bombs strapped on them. Then the terrorists are taken to jail where they get three square meals and interrogation.
*Palestinians murdered entire families, children in front of their parents, parents in front of their children; the IDF has never targeted civilians and the thousands of civilians killed are human shields employed by Hamas. The IDF does not target civilians, period.
A few years ago, a soldier shot a wounded Palestinian terrorist in Hebron. He claimed that the Palestinian in question was attempting to harm other soldiers. Based on the testimonies of others, it was clear that the terrorist was not threatening anyone and that the soldier in question apparently wanted to avenge a friend who had been shot by the terrorist. The soldier was given a full trial and eventually sent to jail.
Neither the IDF nor Jews (including this author) are perfect. But we, like Christians in the West, know that there is behavior that is so base, so disgusting, and so far from any form of humanity, that it would be an insult to animals to call it “animalistic”. In performing unspeakably brutal acts on unarmed and nonthreatening women, children, and elderly Jews and non-Jews, Hamas terrorists have removed themselves from any relationship with humanity. Maybe “only” 3,000 people participated in the orgy of murder and destruction, but 72 percent of their brethren support what they did. Those in the West can no longer pretend that it was “resistance”, “decolonization”, or fighting off “settlers”. And The New York Times, of all sources, has now shown that.
