The Israeli police are finding paramount difficulty locating and finding any Israeli settlers who were victims of sexual assaults or witnesses of such acts allegedly committed by the Hamas Resistance movement during their October 7 Operation al-Aqsa Flood.
According to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, one of the main propagators of the claim that the Palestinian Resistance fighters sexually assaulted Israeli women on October 7, the police cannot find any victims or any witnesses of any form of sexual assault.
Even though the Israelis themselves are practically admitting that their claims are unsubstantiated.
"Even in the few cases in which the [police] collected testimony about sexual offenses committed on October 7, it failed to connect the acts with the victims who were harmed by them," Haaretz said.
Out of desperation after no cases of sexual assault were found and as the Israeli occupation seeks to not portray itself in bad light and U-turn on its allegations that the Resistance raped Israeli settlers, the police are calling on the public to come forward and give "testimonies" on the matter.
Now, as the Israelis claim that the Palestinian Resistance raped women, it might just be the pot calling the kettle black.
During an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Josh Paul, who served as the director of congressional and public affairs for the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs for over 11 years, recalled an incident when he was formerly a part of the human rights vetting process for arms going to 'Israel.'
Paul details how a charity called the Defense of Children International Palestine drew the attention of the State Department to "credible allegations" of a 13-year-old Palestinian raped in the al-Mascobiyya detention center in al-Quds.
The former US official emphasized that it was important to condemn atrocities that happen "every day to Palestinians in the West Bank."
After bringing the allegations forward to the Israeli regime, Paul recalled that the very next day the Israelis “removed their computers and declared them a terrorist entity."
Following the complaint, Israeli forces raided DCIP offices twice, on 19 July 2021 and 18 August 2022, when their offices were raided and "sealed off" alongside the offices of seven other Palestinian NGOs, in what Amnesty International described as a "campaign of repression against Palestinian civil society."
Israeli hypocrisy
Numerous Israeli and US officials have sought to defame the Palestinian Resistance by reporting on unverified information provided by "Israel's" i24 TV correspondent, who claimed that Hamas beheaded 40 babies, a claim that went on to become viral, as did its debunking.
Israelis, however, an IOF spokesperson told Anadolu Agency have no information regarding "Hamas beheading babies."
The i24 correspondent in question is Nicole Zedeck. She was attached to a unit of the IOF that had been dispatched to the "Kfar Aza" kibbutz where fierce confrontations took place between Palestinian Resistance fighters and Israeli occupation forces and settlers since Saturday morning.
During her coverage, Zedeck claimed that the unit's commander had told her that 40 dead babies had been found in "Kfar Aza", some of which had been "beheaded by terrorists", she said referring to Palestinian Resistance fighters that crossed over the separation wall from Gaza to confront soldiers and settlers that have occupied their homeland for more than 75 years.
Zedeck then posted on X contradicting her claims, saying, "Soldiers told me they believe 40 babies/children were killed."
Zedeck did not present any evidence on what she was claiming, nor did she present a reliable source, as the source itself, which is Israeli soldiers, did not actually admit to seeing the alleged massacre.
Thus, what Zedeck presented as a given fact, was mere hearsay propagated with the absolute intention to condemn the Palestinian resistance and justify the brutal Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Mainstream Western media and US politicians remain absent-minded to the extensive crimes carried out by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians and civilians, specifically children in the region.
Nearly 10,000 Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, with hundreds of children held captive by the Israeli occupation forces as "prisoners".
The West and Zionists alike are once again, as they did with the thousands of videos and photos of mutilated and murdered Palestinian children in Gaza, ignoring the many red flags surrounding the claim that the Palestinian Resistance raped Israeli women during Operation al-Aqsa Flood.
