Under the headline, The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians, Kristof alleged that one prisoner in Israeli custody was sexually abused in a spot where he others had met similar fates because he found other people's vomit, blood and broken teeth crushed into his skin, and that another prisoner was penetrated by a dog.
Today, the @nytimes chose to publish one of the worst blood libels ever to appear in the modern press. In an unfathomable inversion of reality, and through an endless stream of baseless lies, propagandist Nicholas Kristof turns the victim into the accused. The Foreign Ministry continued, Israel whose citizens were the victims of the most horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, and whose hostages were later subjected to further sexual abuse is portrayed as the guilty party.
We are grateful that the IOPC has taken steps to investigate potential issues with how our reports were handled. From the beginning, all we have wanted is for our cases and the evidence to be fully and fairly considered by those with the power to do so.
