Los Angeles Times Retracts Allegations of Hamas Rapes: ‘Such Reports Have Not Been Substantiated’
Chris Menahan
The Los Angeles Times has retracted a claim from columnist Jonah Goldberg that Hamas was raping women as part of their attacks, stating “for the record” that “such reports have not been substantiated.”
“An earlier version of this column mentioned rape in the attacks [committed by Hamas], but such reports have not been substantiated,” the LA Times said.

The unproven rape allegations can only cause pain to the families of detained Israelis & fan the flames for flattening Gaza & killing scores of civilians… Reality is ugly enough! pic.twitter.com/OblZ9hncXT

Though claims of mass rape were spread from the very start of the war, the only video evidence that’s been produced to back up the rumors are one clip of a female captive with dirty pants and one clip of Shani Louk being hauled off in back of a truck. The media falsely claimed Louk was stripped naked (even though she had a bikini top or bra and bottoms on) and raped (for which there’s no evidence whatsoever) but Louk’s mother said on Tuesday that her daughter is still alive and is in a hospital in Gaza.
More fake mass r a p e propaganda from Zi0nist mouthpiece Noa Tishby.

Her report uses only 2 “examples” to support the atrocity allegations: the girl with the soiled pants & alleged footage of Shani Louk, whom her mother has said is… pic.twitter.com/aLQFX0HOMp

Noa Tishby is one of many Israeli/Zi0nist voices pushes the fake mass r a p e atrocity propaganda.
She’s just an actress & concerned citizen putting out her opinion, right? Wrong.
She’s an official Israeli gov agent. They’re coordinating their narrative across all platforms.… https://t.co/HpPnJyHo7U pic.twitter.com/m99vSzHR4s

Unsubstantiated claims of “mass rape” and “mass baby beheadings” are being used by Israel to justify their brutal “siege” on Gaza and drag America into the war.

Proof the widespread image of burned Israeli bodies is disinfo.
The German woman Hamas captured is alive.
Still not a shred of evidence for the stories of mass rape and they’re already walking back the beheaded babies claim.
Their fake narratives are collapsing in record time. https://t.co/g3wFwJ8fGK

As Keith Woods noted in a viral thread on Twitter, atrocity propaganda is being made in real time to win support for the war.
When Jonah Goldberg was the editor of National Review, he published lies smearing the Covington Catholic kids and condemning them as “evil” and also published paid advertorials attempting to revive Jeffrey Epstein’s reputation in the wake of his conviction for soliciting a minor.
Not only did the NRO under your editorship smear the Covington Catholic students but you also published propaganda from Jeffrey Epstein’s publicist to revive Epstein’s reputation after he was convicted of soliciting a minor. https://t.co/bJAXwRVRv0 pic.twitter.com/LxbPKelM2k
