The contents of the Israeli Association of Rape Crisis Center’s paper alleging “systematic” Hamas rape derive largely from discredited second-hand testimonies and debunked media reports. Among its most heavily cited sources is a dubious NY Times article that triggered a staff revolt at the paper.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you, thought the fact that they are not trustworthy is a different conversation than whether they are right on this one. They might be, it’s just that you shouldn’t take merely their word for it.

    I think this is a good reminder that one should always check their sources tho

      Or, y’know, instead of racing to post content from potentially questionable outlets, people could wait until it’s confirmed by more reputable journalists. Or even just stop visiting questionable sites like this in the first place.
