Summary

“We’re anti-rape. The horrific abuse inflicted on Israeli women on Oct. 7 now happens to Palestinians day after day after day,” says Nicholas Kristof, an opinion writer with The New York Times. This month, Kristof published a piece titled “The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians,” where he alleges that the Israeli military used dogs to rape inmates. That is the biggest blood libel and slur against the Jewish people that I’ve ever heard. And yet, The New York Times, which always brags about fact-checking, didn’t fact-check it at all, Victor Davis Hanson argues on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
