The article in question, heavily recommend everyone to read it one of the journalistic masterpieces of our time.
Some quotes:
In late November, as the civilian death toll in Gaza climbed, Israel was struggling to retain its dominance of the narrative. Global demands for a ceasefire were mounting, and even some of Israel’s allies were expressing horror at the indiscriminate killing of women and children and the worsening humanitarian catastrophe.
It was at this moment that the Israeli government decided it needed to remind the world of Israel’s victimhood and launched a new phase of the hasbara campaign. It began accusing the international community of standing silent in the face of what Israeli officials described as a widespread campaign of rape and sexual violence
From the earliest moments following the October 7 attacks, Israel charged that women had been raped by Hamas fighters
To date, there has been no credible evidence presented publicly that such a campaign took place
There was no Holocaust survivor killed at Kibbutz Be’eri that day. There were no mass beheadings of babies, no group executions in a nursery, no children hung from clotheslines, and no infants placed in ovens. No pregnant woman had her stomach cut open and the fetus knifed in front of her and her other children. These stories are entirely fictional, a set of audacious lies weaponized to generate the type of collective rage used to justify the unjustifiable.
It’s so long I’ve been reading it for hours lol. But seriously I agree that this is an amazing article detailing all the propaganda. You can find it by searching for the sub-headline (main headline doesn’t match browser tab text)
Let me make the point much more succintly: there’s a large difference between different incidents of sexual violence and all of these crimes being part of an organized campaign. An article claiming that those crimes are part of an organized campaign without evidence is opinion, or at the very best analysis, not news.
That is indeed a good description which clearly makes the article an opinion piece.
It is still important to mention that aside from it clearly not being a “mass rape campaign”, there was not a single rape-accusation with evidence and “witness testimonies” have been fully debunked by israeli media investigations present in the article.

Jeremy Scahill was also interviewed on Democracy Now about this article.
