Netanyahu Accuses The Entire World of Anti-Semitism
Chris Menahan
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday accused the entire world of anti-Semitism for staying “silent” on Israel’s unproven claim that Hamas committed “mass rapes” on an unprecedented scale on Oct 7.
From The Jerusalem Post, “Netanyahu on Oct. 7 rapes: Was world silent because victims were Jews?”:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at international silence regarding Hamas’s rape and sexual mutilation of the women it killed during its October 7 infiltration into Southern Israel.
“Were you quiet because we were talking about Jewish women?” Netanyahu asked during a Hebrew language press conference.
‘Where the hell are you?’
In English, he asked the international community, “Where the hell are you?”
“I say to the women’s rights organizations, to the human rights organizations. You have heard of the rape of the Israeli women, horrible atrocities, and sexual mutilations” at Hamas’s hands?
“I expect all civilized leaders, governments, nations to speak up against this atrocity,” Netanyahu said.
He specifically called out the United Nations which condemned the sexual violence only last week after a protracted campaign by Israel and activist groups.
The Israeli media admitted last month that they have no hard evidence of any Hamas rapes and never will because said evidence “slipped away” in the chaos of the war.
Nonetheless, Israeli authorities are now claiming they’ve collected “hundreds of testimonies of rape and sex crimes” supposedly committed by Hamas on Oct 7.
From Aaron Mate:
“The chair of Israel’s investigative committee into rape on 10/7 by Hamas, [Cochav Elkayam-Levy], presents an old image of dead female Kurdish fighters as women sexually assaulted at the Nova music fest,” Max Blumenthal commented Monday on X in response to her report.
“During a 11/12 talk for Harvard’s Maimonides Society, Elkayam referred to ‘an image of a woman stripped from the waist down… photographed on the side of the Nova music festival,'” he added. “This image was originally published on the anonymous Hamas-Massacre website promoted by Israel’s govt, but removed [without] acknowledgment after I demonstrated it was first published in 2022 and showed dead female Kurdish fighters. Documentation here.”

“Promoted in Western media as a feminist advocate, @CochavElkayam cut her teeth as a legal advisor to the Israeli Attorney General on breaking Palestinian hunger strikes through the use of force feeding,” Blumenthal said in a follow-up tweet. “She also consults for Netanyahu’s security council.”

The Electronic Intifada went over Cochav Elkayam-Levy’s claims in detail and laid out why they appear to be nothing more than atrocity propaganda:

Nonetheless, according to Netanyahu, you’re anti-Semitic if you don’t believe their claims without evidence.
Is it also anti-Semitic (considering Palestinians are also Semites) to not speak out against stories of Israelis raping Palestinians?

In some cases, we have outright confessions.
