Israel is preparing legal action against The New York Times after the newspaper published an article describing the rapes of Palestinian prisoners in its custody.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) announced its decision to sue on X on Thursday, after the paper doubled down in its defence of the report.
“Nicholas Kristof’s deeply reported piece of opinion journalism starts with a proposition to readers: ‘Whatever our views of the Middle East conflict, we should be able to unite in condemning rape,'” a spokesperson for The New York Times said.
Kristof’s story contained harrowing testimonies of the rape of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers, which included accounts of prisoners being mounted by dogs, penetrated by carrots, and rectums torn by batons.
skill issue, do you know how I managed without NY times reporting on my rape dogs?
I did it by not training my pets to rape. wasn’t that hard
I think there’s someone else that needs justice here.
Hopefully the new York Times hs to present a lot of evidence and they don’t settle to bury everything
Israel is trying to figure out what victims snitched so they can kill them and their families. They’re not stupid enough to think they could win money, they just want discovery so they can teach those Palestinians a lesson for speaking to the media.
Is it possible for nations to sue individuals of different nations? Like what court would this be filed under?
Israel is suing the NYT for supposedly breaking US law. That’s pretty typical worldwide. Crime doesn’t become legal if you do it to a foreigner, you need a special status for that (like ICE goon for example).
Trump will make it happen, he’s a good puppet
The irony of suing a Jewish family. Sulzberger Family basically owns NYT
It’s not like Israel cares about Jews who refuse to drink the kool-aid.
It’s baffling how it’s been over twenty years at this point and still essentially no one with influence has ever heard of the Streisand effect before. Like they’re obviously delusional, but it’s like their brains are sucked into vacuums.
Didn’t the Bible say something about all nations turning against Israel right before the end of the world?
We’re making good strides in that direction. Let’s hurry up and see how it ends. I’ve had enough, TBH.
Just really shows you how fucking delusional these God damn ghouls in Israel are. The New York Times just carries their water. As is their history they always go to bat for fascist regimes and they love to cover up genocides they’ve been doing it for a century. Certainly they’ve been doing it for Israel. Still though, not enough for those God damn demons in the state of Israel.

ISRAEL
RAPES
AS
A
WEAPON
OF
WAR
AND
GENOCIDE
Get fucked, Zionists.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
Sure. Let’s go to court and have a mutual discovery session with a public trial.
The judiciary is, by and large, owned and controlled by the ruling class. Don’t expect anything resembling justice to come from that system.
IANAL, but the discovery has nothing to do with the judiciary, it’s before the judge makes a ruling and it’s public.
Correct.
They would want to do it on their turf where they don’t have discovery for themselves and all the judges are all in on genocide.
wont a trial include…you know…an extensive investigation? wait this is murica, mebbe not
Not if The Times just completely rolls over and shows it’s belly.
The trial would be conducted as a musical, so the investigation would be restricted to a twenty-minute baritone solo
How much was Israel spending on pr firms to fix its poor image to the rest of the world, and is this just the first step of that plan?
As much US tax dollars as it can get
Makes them even more guilty to sue over facts.
