Another problem is that the rape stories are so horrible, that it's difficult for journalists, if they wer inclined to, to investigate them; because to do so means one is questioning or even implying that Israel might be lying, might be spreading propaganda and cynically manipulating public opinion in the service of their war effort.
But saying that Israel might be using 'rape as a toy of war', is, by itself, easily twisted into another example of... 'antisemitism', so most journalists in the West ar forced to trend very carefully. Would Israel, a western democracy, really lie about something like that?
