    There has, to my knowledge, not been a single first-hand account of a woman saying “I was raped by Hamas”.

    No sudden influx of women into Israeli rape crisis centers, either. No hospitals on record with a surge of sexual assault victims. It appears to be an entirely fabricated claim, intended to deflect the more embarrassing nature of the incident (Palestinian rebels overwhelming a poorly administered IDF checkpoint) by re-contextualizing a kind of massive prison break as a Clockwork Orange orgy of ultra-violence.

    I’m happy to believe women when there are women to believe.

    Well, unless they’re Palestinian women, in which case they can’t be trusted because they are Hamas.
