Israel's evidence for Hamas rape is a photo of dead Kurdish women

Cochav Elkayam-Levy, the chair of Israel's civil committee investigating Oct ⁠7 rape, has been using at least since Nov ⁠12 (video) a photograph of deceased female Kurdish fighters to portray them as victims of rape by Hamas at the Nova music festival.(TheGrayzone)

Mondoweiss reveals it is her Nov ⁠18 interview with CNN that kicked off the disinformation campaign, echoed by Washington Post and Haaretz. Presenting her as an “expert in human rights”, CNN hid the fact she is the director of the Dvora Institute advising the National Security Council, and she had worked for the International Law Department of the Israeli Attorney-General’s Office. There, she provided a detailed legal manual for forced feeding—an act of torture used to break the hunger strikes of political prisoners.

Since then, Elkayam has presented nothing but justifications for the absence of evidence. To this date, there is no evidence.
