Breaking: Israeli prosecutor says state has no rape cases against Palestinians from 7/10 raid

Regime representative admits what UN and others already said – but still wants to murder Palestinians

Israeli media outlet Ynet has published an interview with Moran Gaz, until recently, the head of the security cases division at the Southern District Prosecutor’s Office in Israel and a member of ‘Team 7.10,’ which responsible for cases involving captured Palestinians in connection with the October 7th attacks.

Gaz has admitted that, despite having over fourteen months to investigate the Israeli regime’s claims of ‘mass’ and ‘systematic’ rape on 7 October 2023, her department has no evidence of any rapes or sexual assaults and is filing no cases for prosecution:

In the end, we don’t have any complainants. What was presented in the media compared to what will eventually come together will be entirely different…

We approached women’s rights organisations and asked for cooperation. They told us that no one had approached them.

Gaz claims that this may be because rape victims were killed or are unwilling to come forward, but ignored the other more obvious conclusion – particularly since no one has approached women’s rights organisations even confidentially. So conspicuous is the lack of evidence that Gaz advocates lowering legal standards for a conviction because otherwise the prosecution will find it ‘difficult’.

The conclusion ignored by Gaz fits far better with other available facts too. Israeli, UK, US and other international ‘mainstream’ media and politicians shamelessly amplified Israeli ‘atrocity propaganda’ claims of the use of rape as a weapon during the 7 October raid in southern Israel. So entrenched was the propaganda that they even claimed that an investigation by two United Nations experts had confirmed the claims – but in fact, in March last year, the two women investigators published their findings that they had found zero evidence of rape or sexual assault and that every claim Israel had made was either unverified or proven to be completely unfounded.

Similarly lurid claims of babies beheads or baked in ovens were also completely disproven, yet continue to be used by propagandists and western politicians – who equally ignore the overwhelming evidence (and Israeli admissions) that most of the Israeli victims during the raid were killed by their own forces.

Despite these clear facts, Gaz believes that anyone detained by Israel on 7 October “have no right to live”, typifying the genocidal urge of the Israeli regime and its apologists.
