Reports have found that the claims in the paper’s “Screams Without Words” article are questionable, if not fabricated.

Dozens of tenured journalism professors at top schools across the U.S. have raised concerns that The New York Times is risking its own credibility, as well as the credibility of journalism at large, with its inaction on an article about sexual violence on October 7 that has come under scrutiny in recent months due to its reliance on questionable — and, in some cases, debunked — evidence.

The story, entitled “‘Screams Without Words’: Sexual Violence on Oct. 7,” was widely circulated after its publication in December and has been used by government officials and Zionist groups to supposedly justify Israel’s genocidal brutality against Palestinians in Gaza.

      Screams Without Silence? THAT’S LITERALLY THE STORY THE NYT FABRICATED. That shit was written by a former Israeli intelligence officer that said Gaza should be “turned into a slaughterhouse”. She said Israel should be violating all norms, and should execute all Palestinian prisoners. It’s literally a propaganda piece written by the Israeli government. It’s also the story linked in the article at the top of this thread. It’s the story The Intercept debunked. IT’S THE GODS DAMNED STORY THE NYT THEMSELVES QUESTIONED THE AUTHENTICITY OF IN LEAKED INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS. They knew before they released it that it was questionable at best, but they released it because they were fucking paid to. And here you are, gobbling it up, like a fucking idiot, believing everything you read online for no other reason than she identifies as a woman as we can’t expect a woman to lie, can we?

      All you’ve done is totally solidify in my mind that this person is at best lying, and at worst not even real. I’m leaning toward the not being real.

          Oh sure, hide behind religion, that’ll get you somewhere with me. Do I hate Jews? Well, I’m an anti-theist, I believe religion is the most evil thing mankind has ever created, and I hate all religions, especially Christianity. I believe all Jews are gullible idiots for believing in fairy tales, same as any religious person. And like all brainwashed religious people, they become dangerous, genocidal monsters periodically.

          But I’m not refusing to believe this person simply because they’re a Jew, I’m refusing to believe them because they’re Israeli and part of a propaganda movement by a right-wing government. I don’t need to look for an excuse to not believe them. I simply do not, and you can rage about it however you want. Call me antisemitic, call me a bad person, say I hate women or I support rape. At the end of the day, you’re only going to stress yourself out, because I’ve already decided you’re an idiot.

            Yes, you’re anti-feminist, and you would rather enable rapists than question those who share your political aims.

            I’m not stressed, though, because I guessed it from the start. I’ve seen plenty of other men exactly like you, starting with Trump supporters.

              Lol anti-feminist? You mean sexist? And what’s this “men like me” about? Lemme guess, you’re a chronically single middle aged white democrat, voted for Hillary, love brunch and drinking boxed wine. You have a pussy-shaped hat sitting on your shelf, call yourself an ally, and enjoy commiserating online about how trans women are ruining things for “real” women. You think George Floyd would have been fine if he had just stopped resisting, and you think protesting is only ok so long as it’s quiet and doesn’t make people uncomfortable. You think progressives are unreasonable, and believe in incrementalism and centrism. You like to Both Sides and What About in every argument. You Vote Blue, No Matter Who, and above all, you never fail to believe anything another woman says, because All Men Do Is Lie.

              You’re a little out of place here on Lemmy, don’t you think? Probably safer for your fragile mental health to closest yourself in some Facebook echo chamber, lest you lose it and start screaming in Walmart about how the dude standing six feet behind you, whom you just cut in front of is violating you.

                    I believe women even if it is politically inconvenient. If you can’t, then you should do better.
