You sound like a Holocaust denier. Nazi sympathizers and anti-Semites indulged in this for decades to cover up the most well-documented crime against humanity in history. The Oct. 7th attack is also well documented, though not all the evidence has been compiled or released. But there is enough evidence to know that sexual assaults happened.

Using the Western principle of the defendant's right to the presumption of innocence to defend jihadists is quite a bold move, considering that you are in essence defending terrorists who openly acknowledge what they did and are proud of it. I don't think you really care about men's rights or the problem of false allegations of rape. I believe you must hate Israel. I cannot think of any other reason why someone would defend Hamas on this.

Here is a video of a jihadists revealing that he was instructed to murder and rape, not only women and girls, but also babies: twitter.com/emilykschra…

Another video exists of a member of Hamas's elite Nukhba force in custody. He says (in Arabic of course): “the plan was to go from home to home, from room to room, to throw grenades and kill everyone, including women and children,” he said. “Hamas ordered us to crush their heads and cut them off, [and] to cut their legs.” He also says they were given permission to rape the corpse of a girl -- which is clearly a war crime.

There should be a trial of captured Hamas leaders so all the evidence comes out. If there were a trial, one of the pieces of evidence would be Hamas' own instruction manuals for the attack reportedly ordered the jihadists to rape (see report below).

Given that rape is a tactic often used in war, and is openly advocated by Islamists (as per the Hadith), and has been used by Hamas before, the reports of rape on Oct. 7th, and the fear that hostages have been raped, are entirely plausible.

"The gruesome task of identifying Israel's dead and the circumstances in which they were killed has fallen to military forensic teams at an army base in central Israel." Forensic evidence is still coming in. But we have testimony of rapes of both the living and the dead.

The Israeli news outlet Kan (kan.org.il/content/kan-…) reported that some of the hostages being held in Gaza have been raped. Kan quoted from a report by Professor Hagai Levin, an Israeli epidemiologist, saying that the hostages included people ... who had “severe injuries following rape.”

“There was a couple tied to each other with their clothes down, and you can see definitely, that the woman underwent rape,” an Oct. 17 Reuters article quoted Itzik Itah, a ZAKA commander, as saying. “When she is naked faced down, and her clothes had clearly been taken off not by her, that’s a woman who underwent rape.”

What's implausible (not believable) are the claims by apologists and Leftists that these atrocities did not occur on Oct. 7th. Rather than deny the obvious, apologists engage in obsfucation and moral relativism.

We do not know for sure that Noa Argamani, still being held hostage, has been raped, but it's entirely plausible given who is holding her captive: jihadists who are instructed to rape as a tactic of war.

I don't have videos of the women being raped in the Congo during that war, or copies of forensic reports, but their first-hand testimonies after the fact are plausible. I have seen video testimony of the rapists and their victims in the Congo. No one there disputes it happened or that it was used as a weapon of war.

I have spent a lot of time in Israel and talked to people there on both sides. Rapes have occurred in that conflict. This is beyond all dispute. Hamas jihadists do not dispute the allegations. What's odd to me is that you dispute it. Again, not to defend men against false allegations. Are you doing this because perhaps you want Israel to cease to exist and you're willing to twist the truth for that purpose?

At this point, this is not just about Israel or Palestine anymore; this is about defending humanity against terrorism. If your position is against Israel, fine, but by defending known terrorists, Hamas, from entirely plausible allegations, you are defending atrocities.

The one claim I'll concede that was exaggerated was the claim of 40 babies beheaded. Babies and toddlers were killed by Hamas -- there is no doubt of that since the names of ages and photos of many of them have been published -- but there is no clear evidence that they were beheaded. Whoever reported that was referring to the well-known ISIL tactic.

You wanted videos. Many have been scrubbed by YouTube or suppressed to protect the identity of victim and their families, but we do have this Hamas-shared video of the captured woman with blood around her crotch as noted in the article above:

Report on Hamas' manual and testimony by captured jihadist:

"Shin Bet released video footage showing the interrogation of some Hamas terrorists captured after the attack, the Times of Israel reported on Oct. 24. One of the videos shows a man who says that Hamas ordered fighters to “kill everyone,” including women and children. “He said they were given permission to rape the corpse of a girl."

"The Israeli military released two instruction manuals that it said had been recovered from dead Hamas fighters. “Orders were there for how many to kill, how many to take as hostages. Orders were there to rape, all was written and ordered,” Maj. Gen. Michael Edelstein told reporters at the screening, the BBC reported.

"A day after we published our story, Reuters reported that “Rabbi Israel Weiss, former army chief rabbi, one of the officials overseeing the identification of the dead … said many bodies showed signs of torture as well as rape.”
