A new report by the GrayZone revealed that Yoav Gallant, the Israeli 'Security' Minister published lies in a Washington Post exclusive article, but the outlet then retracted the statements quietly and without notice under false pretenses.

The Washington Post "censored itself at the behest of the Israeli government," after they retracted a claim by Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant that Hamas Resistance fighters were given specific order to rape Palestinian women on October 7 including "which commander should rape which soldiers," according to a report published by The Grayzone.

The report highlighted the initial claim that was made by Gallant in the original article that was posted on November 12 in an exclusive for The Washington Post.

Gallant specifically said, in the exclusive, that "We know from interrogations that Hamas came in with detailed plans of their attack, including which commander should rape which soldiers in different places."

The day after publication, The Washington Post removed the allegations from the piece noting the amendment as a "correction" because the "previous version of this article included a quote from Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant that was not authorized for publication. The quote has been removed."

The social media user that first discovered the "self-censorship" according to the Grayzone report captioned his findings characterizing the act as "The Israeli way" and explaining: "Privately lying to a journalist to shape her coverage, then scrambling to correct the record when the journalist accidentally prints the lies you told her in confidence."

It is worth noting that not a single Israeli captive has come out and claimed they were raped by any Palestinian Resistance fighter, to the extent that some, seemingly in an attempt to grab headlines, said captives "feared being raped".

Israeli settlers sue occupation forces for failure

Marking an unprecedented milestone, a group of survivors from the Supernova rave massacre filed a groundbreaking lawsuit on Monday against the Israeli occupation's security forces. A total of 42 Israeli settlers are seeking damages.

The settlers, according to The Times of Israel, filed a lawsuit amounting to NIS 200 million ($56 million) in the "Tel Aviv" District Court against the Shin Bet "security" service, the Israel Occupation Forces, the Israel Police, and the Security Ministry. They claim "multiple instances in which they failed in their duties."

"A single phone call by [IOF] officials to the commander responsible for the party to disperse it immediately in view of the expected danger would have saved lives and prevented the physical and mental injuries of hundreds of partygoers, including the plaintiffs," the lawsuit said, as cited by The Times of Israel, "The negligence and the gross oversight is beyond belief."
