1. The Report.
Recently Palestinians sources have inspired reports at first from Al-Jazeer and the BBC and now from the New York Times
that Israel is using dogs to rape Palestinians prisoners.
This apparently is considered biologically impossible. It as a complete lie, a slander, yet another weapon in their attempt to besmirch the People of Israel.
The BBC was once a respectable news source. It is now dominated by an agenda which is both anti-British and anti-Jewish.
The New York Times was originally owned by Jews but the Jews converted to Christianity and married out and at present are rabid anti-Semites,

Israeli Guards Admite Does are used to Rape Palestinians
The LIe Continues:
Extracts:
Guards at Israel's notorious Sde Teiman torture camp have admitted their colleagues use dogs to rape Palestinian captives there, according to a prominent Israeli analyst.
Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, a geopolitical expert [unknow] who opposes Israel's genocide in Gaza, said he spoke to two guards from the facility about the gruesome form of torture 'on more than one occasion'.
'Some have said that claims that Israel uses dogs to sexually abuse prisoners are antisemitic blood libels,' Ben-Ephraim wrote on X on Friday. 'Unfortunately, there is a good deal of evidence.'
Of the two guards he spoke to, 'one had seen this happen and said it was too awful to talk about. The other said that he had heard about it from others and believed it was true. This happened. This is happening still. The evidence is too overwhelming.'
He highlighted several cases reported by human rights groups and media outlets.
They include a man who spoke to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR). 'We were stripped completely. Soldiers brought dogs that climbed on us and urinated on me,' he said. ' Then one of the dogs raped me. I suffered a severe psychological breakdown and deep humiliation.'
'They know once they rape someone with a dog or with a stick that these people won't be able to carry out their jobs or live their lives normally,' Basel Alsourani, international advocacy officer at PCHR, told Novara Media last year. 'It's part of their genocidal intention to destroy [Palestinians].'
Sde Teiman gained global notoriety last year after footage was leaked of soldiers gang-raping a captive there in 2024.
Commentary:
The last sentence speaks of " footage"... "of soldiers gang-raping a captive there in 2024. "
This was proven to have been false a fabrication involving anti-Jewish elements within the IDF. They exist.
The force of increased feminization of the Israeli Army were involved.
There was no gang raping.

3. Nick Kristof's 'Dog Torture' Claim About Israel Doesn't Pass Muster
By Eli Lake

Anonymous sources, pro-Hamas activists, and shoddy biology all fed into a dubious New York Times report.

Are Israeli prisons deploying trained dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners? According to New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, the answer appears to be yes.
In a lengthy column published Monday, Kristof recounts a sordid tale from a source he identifies as a 'Gaza journalist.' He writes that on one occasion, the journalist 'was held down, stripped naked, and as he was blindfolded and handcuffed, a dog was summoned. With encouragement from a handler in Hebrew, he said, the dog mounted him.'
Kristof is not the first reporter to level this charge. Some news outlets like Al Jazeera and the BBC have also reported anonymous victims claiming to have witnessed or experienced rape or abuse by dogs in Israeli detention centers. The allegations gained momentum last month when the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor released a report that claimed the practice was systemic based on interviews with anonymous victims. 'Israeli forces have also employed animals, particularly trained dogs, to sexually assault Palestinian detainees, aiming to violate their dignity,' the report says.
Another problem with the report is that Kristof cites the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, which amplified the dog rape claims in April. The Switzerland-based organization purports to be a neutral human rights group, but it has a history of spreading libel against Israel, such as a November 2023 report that raised 'concerns' that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was harvesting the organs of Palestinian corpses.

4. From Rutgers speaker to Kristof column, implausible anti-Israel dog rape claim goes mainstream
https://www.timesofisrael.com/from-rutgers-speaker-to-kristof-column-bogus-anti-israel-dog-rape-claim-goes-mainstream/
Extract:
James Crosby, a retired police lieutenant and canine aggression expert affiliated with Harvard University's Canine Brain Project, told JTA that it was 'highly unlikely that anybody is going to be able to train a dog to successfully commit a sexual assault.'
Crosby said dogs can be trained to carry out some behaviors that could be seen as sexual but he was much more skeptical of the central claim that Kristof described.

5. New YorkTimes Promoting Attacks on Jews.
NYT- letting Kristof column overshadow nonprofit's report on Hamas' s sexual violence could lead to attacks against Jews, Cotler-Wunsh says.
The former Israeli envoy on Jew-hatred said that the paper's timing 'took up all the airspace' to help bury an evidence-based report on sexual violence on Oct. 7.

Extracts:
The New York Times deliberately published a Nicholas Kristof column accusing Israel of abusing Palestinian prisoners on the day before the release of a civil commission report documenting Hamas's sexual violence on Oct. 7, according to Michal Cotler-Wunsh, CEO of the International Legal Forum.
The former Israeli envoy for combating antisemitism told JNS that the paper was enabling a 'blood libel' that could lead to violence against Jews.
'What happened was actually complete burial of the commission report,' she said. 'Hundreds of pages, a report with evidence.'
'The publication of this article took up all the airspace in dog rape allegations, anatomically possible or not,' she told JNS.
'Blood libel, once released into the air, has this way of spreading and becoming accepted 'truth,' regardless of the failure to provide evidence,' she told JNS. 'What it then normalizes is the ever-mutating lethal hate that's literally targeting, enabling, fueling the vandalism, violence and even the murder of Jews.'
Cotler-Wunsh advises readers to stop reading the Times, which she said 'publishes fiction.'
'You can read all kinds of fiction, but if you 're reading the New York Times as news, then I would actually recommend to stop reading it,' she told JNS.
Cotler-Wunsh wouldn't be surprised if the paper published the column as an opinion piece to protect itself from legal recourse. 'The likelihood of accountability is very slim,' she said.
