Screams Without Words

Pillay's commission did not mention that report at all.

In December 2023, The New York Times, which is hardly a pro-Israeli publication, published Screams Without Words, an extensive report on Hamas's sexual violence based on a detailed two-month investigation that relied on video evidence and numerous interviews.

The Times identified at least seven locations in which Israeli women and girls were assaulted and/or mutilated.

Pillay's June 2024 report on Hamas ignored this research as well.

just you know in that sphere in general for a long time that's always what i had done and i saw in obviously it was in december 2023 when israel and the new york times it's in the whole media apparatus were coming together to put out these mass rape allegations against I don't know, like Palestinians, like in general.

And it was that big article that came out, Screams Without Words.

And I remember reading it and I was just like, this is insane.

Like, obviously, anyone who knows anything about rape and forensics and just... anything in general would understand that this article and these allegations and these this evidence, quote unquote, evidence that they're that they're bringing forth is complete BS.

For example, like Mike Rogers last night was saying things like, and this guy supports this person and he supports Hamas who put babies in ovens, who cut off women's breasts and all that stuff.

And I'm like, he's repeating stuff from a famous New York Times article called Screams Without Words, which has so many problems, including without limited to who wrote it.

But even putting aside the author, their motivations, and their particular background, none of the claims were ever corroborated.

In fact, many of them had to get walked back.

There was one, one article in the New York Times that detailed the enormity of October 7th.

It appeared in December of 2023 and was titled, quote, Screams Without Words, How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on October 7th, a Times investigation uncovering new details showing a pattern of rape, mutilation, and extreme brutality against women in its attacks.

It had three reporters, including a Pulitzer Prize winner.

It entailed over 150 interviews.

She was wearing a small dress 'cause she'd been at this rave, and her, her legs were kind of spread because she had rigor mortis.

So she becomes the subject of a front-page New York Times investigation called, uh, Screams Without Words, about how Hamas had committed mass rape, and they called her the girl in the black dress whose legs were spread found by her car.

Her family comes out and says, "This was totally false.

Our daughter was not raped.
