The bottom line is that the Civil Commission report is the latest attempt to revive Israel’s mass-rapes hoax at a moment when Israel is despised and isolated around the world for its genocide in Gaza. The narrative invokes well-worn racist and colonial tropes of native savages raping white settler women.

But a “comprehensive” report that recycles discredited sources, cites debunked media coverage as evidence, fails to quantify the number of victims and still cannot confirm the existence of any specific rape victim, living or dead, does not rescue Israel’s mass-rape hoax. It confirms its bankruptcy.
