Ms. Soussana, 40, is the first Israeli to speak publicly about being sexually assaulted during captivity after the Hamas-led raid on southern Israel. In her interviews with The Times, conducted mostly in English, she provided extensive details of sexual and other violence she suffered during a 55-day ordeal.

Ms. Soussana’s personal account of her experience in captivity is consistent with what she told two doctors and a social worker less than 24 hours after she was freed on Nov. 30. Their reports about her account state the nature of the sexual act; The Times agreed not to disclose the specifics.

. . .

For months, Hamas and its supporters have denied that its members sexually abused people in captivity or during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack. This month, a United Nations report said that there was “clear and convincing information” that some hostages had suffered sexual violence and there were “reasonable grounds” to believe sexual violence occurred during the raid, while acknowledging the “challenges and limitations” of examining the issue.

i noticed most lemmey users here exhibit the same kind of behaviour before the exodus from reddit.

very left leaning and wouldn't hesitate to employ cancel culture if facts don't fit their narratives.

at least there are sane usera like yourself have clearly drawn the line that condemning hamas doesn't equate condemning the palestinians.

evidence have shown,if you condemn hamas,somehow or rather that's Israel's fault and anyone who does it is dehumanising palestinans,never mind the fact that there were palestinians celebrating the death of innocents and giving out sweets to children.

never mind the fact that there were palestinians celebrating the death of innocents and giving out sweets to children.

This is incorrect. Hamas told people that a prison was liberated, and that's why they were celebrating. They had no idea that Hamas had killed innocent people like that.

Think about it -- where does information in Gaza come from? A lot of it is coming from Hamas itself. They're going to make themselves look good and lie about what's actually going on.

Yep, here you go.

It's a really good article in general, it does a great job of highlighting the disconnect in communication and how Israel and Hamas are manipulating the news.
