How 2 debunked accounts of sexual violence on Oct. 7 fueled a global dispute over Israel-Hamas war
Chaim Otmazgin had tended to dozens of shot, burned or mutilated bodies before he reached the home that would put him at the center of a global clash.Working in a kibbutz that was ravaged by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, #Otmazgin — a volunteer commander with #ZAKA, an Israeli search and rescue organization — saw the body of a teenager, shot dead and separated from her family in a different room. Her pants had been pulled down below her waist. He thought that was evidence of sexual violence.
He alerted journalists to what he’d seen. He tearfully recounted the details in a nationally televised appearance in the Israeli Parliament. In the frantic hours, days and weeks that followed the Hamas attack, his testimony ricocheted across the world.
But it turns out that what Otmazgin thought had occurred in the home at the kibbutz hadn’t happened.
Beyond the numerous and well-documented atrocities committed by #Hamas militants on Oct. 7, some accounts from that day, like Otmazgin’s, proved untrue.
“It’s not that I invented a story,” Otmazgin told The Associated Press in an interview, detailing the origins of his initial explosive claim — one of two by ZAKA volunteers about sexual violence that turned out to be unfounded.
“I couldn’t think of any other option” other than the teen having been sexually assaulted, he said. “At the end, it turned out to be different, so I corrected myself.”
But it was too late.

#Israel / "All the Evidence of Hamas Rape on October 7" So Far
Haaretz's Liza Rozovsky attempts to reconstruct sexual violence evidence on October 7th, based on what's known so far to investigators, not avoiding mentioning the falsifications by #ZAKA volunteers, the Israeli government failure to acknowledge the UN special report, and one confession so far from #IJ militant (who's a prisoner of war) Manar Qassem.
[...] "The real problem is the ability to go to trial on the basis of admissible evidence of a sufficient level for a court" to convict, a senior source in the State Prosecutor's Office told Haaretz, with regard to the investigation. "The investigators are leaving no stone unturned in trying to obtain evidence, every day brings new things. The last word has not yet been said."
[...] Thus, with no charges regarding the sexual attacks having yet been presented to the court, Haaretz spoke with dozens of sources who are dealing with the subject, in an effort to map out the evidence, testimonies and other findings that establish that sex crimes were committed, and to understand what material is still missing.
[...] At the conclusion of the UN report, Patten recommended both to the enforcement agencies in Israel and to international bodies "to bring all perpetrators, regardless of rank or affiliation, to justice based on individual, superior and command responsibility," and she urged Israel to sign a cooperation framework with her office in order to improve the mechanisms of justice dealing with sexual violence. "Patten came with clean hands and courage," Ben-Or says. "I think we should extend a hand and grab this help."
[...] The politicians in Israel did exactly the opposite. Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz chose to attack "the silencing of the sex crimes" by the UN precisely after the report was submitted and resonated widely in the world media.
Rozovsky, Liza. "15 witnesses, three confessions, a pattern of naked dead bodies. All the evidence of Hamas rape on October 7."

Meta and Lavender
Lavender is Israel's system of "pre-crime" - they use AI to guess who to kill in Gaza, and then bomb them when they're at home, along with their entire family. One input to the AI is whether you're in a WhatsApp group with a suspected member of Hamas. Where are they getting this data? Is WhatsApp sharing it? Paul Biggar writes.

#Blinken should end up in The Hague, with Netanyahu, Biden and the rest
By amplifying #ZAKA's unsubstantiated claims without corroborating evidence from impartial sources, Blinken tacitly lends credibility to an organization accused of whitewashing Israeli violence and human rights violations. This willingness to broadcast selectively curated information aligns the U.S. stance with Israeli propaganda efforts to reframe defensive Palestinian resistance as unwarranted aggression. Blinken's actions normalize the marginalization of Palestinian perspectives and enable the systemic information asymmetry that nurtures the cyclical perpetuation of the Israeli occupation's oppressive status quo in Gaza.
Bassem: THEY LIED . THEY LIED . THEY STILL DO. They lied so the world can accept the atrocities they are doing now . They lied . Their media said they lied . And the western media didn’t even bother reporting on that . Shame on you @cnn @bbcnews @skynews @msnbc @foxnews @france24 @dwnews

#US / Are Jewish Organizations supporting TikTok ban to suppress criticism of Israel?
One of America's largest pro-Israel Jewish organizations, the Jewish Federations of North America (#JFNA), has voiced support for a proposed ban on the popular video-sharing app #TikTok in the US. The JFNA cited concerns over alleged #antisemitism and growing criticism of Israel among TikTok's predominantly young user base.The JFNA, an umbrella group representing numerous American Jewish organizations known for their strong support of Israel, launched a $700 million fundraising drive for Israeli groups, including the controversial first responder organization #Zaka, in the wake of the war in Gaza.
Critics argue that supporters of Israel are weaponizing accusations of antisemitism to defend Israel's actions in Gaza and criminalize pro-Palestinian voices, including on social media platforms like TikTok. They claim that TikTok has been an important tool for activists and users to expose atrocities in Gaza and condemn Israel's actions.

A New investigation by The Intercept has confirmed that the Israeli #Zaka "search-and-rescue" group, which was responsible for the rescue operations following the #October7 military operation, had invented atrocities and accusations of beheadings and rapes against the resistance to help Israel carry out genocide in #Gaza.
This confirms a previous investigation by The Grayzone, which also proved that Zaka leveraged October 7 publicity to raise unprecedented sums of cash.#palestine #Israel #Occupation #Apartheid #Politics #Hamas @palestine

CW: The problem with ZAKA [graphic though made up descriptions of violence during the October 7th massacre]
#October 7th / The problem with ZAKA
Many descriptions of the dramatic events which allegedly took place in Kibbutz Be'eri which were published on #ZAKA's social networks, are false. The following are a few of a long series of stories that were spread, but are completely detached from reality. There is no evidence of these cases, and no one in the kibbutz heard about the people described in them. Indeed, A senior member of ZAKA admitted in a conversation with #Haaretz" that the organization knows that this was not the case.
The made-up stories issue:
[...] "We saw a woman around 30 years old, she was lying on the floor in a large pool of blood, with her face to the ground. We turned her over to put her in a body bag," a senior ZAKA volunteer recounted in tears. "She was pregnant," he added, stopping to catch his breath. "Her stomach was ripped open and the baby was still attached by the umbilical cord, stabbed, and she had been shot in the back of the head. I don't know if she suffered or saw her baby murdered or not."
[...] The description of this dramatic event, which supposedly took place in Kibbutz Be'eri and was also published on ZAKA's social media, simply did not happen. As was recently published in Haaretz, this is one of a series of stories circulated with no basis in reality. There is no evidence of the case, and no one in the kibbutz heard about this woman. A senior ZAKA official admitted in a conversation with Haaretz that the organization knows the incident did not occur.
[...] And this is not an isolated case. In another video, starring the same volunteer, he describes in tears and crying how he found 20 burnt and bound bodies of children in one of the kibbutzim. He told Haaretz it was behind the dining hall in Kfar Aza, on another occasion he said it was in Be'eri.
[...] However, the minors murdered in Kfar Aza were Yiftah Kurtz, 14, and his brother Yonatan, 16. In Be'eri, ten minors were murdered, but at least some of them were with one of their parents and were killed in their homes. Other than his testimony, there is no evidence of these events taking place.
The fundraising issue:
[...] Fundraising began already on October 8th. "Our volunteers in the field are surrounded by bodies and gunfire and urgently need protection and equipment," was written in a tweet by the organization the day after the massacre. The statement is of course true - ZAKA personnel did indeed work under fire, needed additional equipment, and were surrounded by many bodies. Even though fundraising for a non-profit is completely legitimate, questions arise around the timing and manner in which this was done. And they don't diminish, given the fact that the organization hired a public relations firm, who accompanied the volunteers and photographed them already in the first weeks of the war.
[...] Some who approached the group more closely could hear three of the volunteers busy with video calls and filming clips for fundraising. According to the volunteer's description, the corpse was part of the set, part of the display for donors, while the race against time to collect the bodies of the massacre victims and evacuate them was at its peak. "They opened a fundraising situation room there," described another person who witnessed the event, and who operated throughout the war in the communities near Gaza. "Two weeks later I saw them operating similarly also in Be'eri – sitting and making fundraising videos and calls inside the kibbutz." ZAKA stated that "no fundraising calls were made by the organization in the field, and any specific incident brought to our attention will be investigated and handled."
