This is a report from a UN team that flew to Israel and made a comprehensive assessment of all the evidence. I’ll also state the obvious, the UN team would can’t interview dead victims of rape.
If you’re going to post that kind of nonsensical statement, at least read the executive summary of the report.

Rapes, murders, and acts of violence were absolutely committed by members of Hamas. This is perhaps an uncomfortable truth for you.
Your video is login-blocked It's not my video (I didn't upload it) and it's not "login blocked" in the US. Here is another link that should work regardless.
but those people were in fact not raped. If anything they are further evidence that no rapes happened. Those people meaning Chen Almog-Goldstein and her 17 year old daughter Agam? The ones who in the full length interview said they were not raped, but said other women were? (19:55 in the interview). "Girls, only 19 years old...they went through horrible things. On a personal level... they were abused [sexually] and hurt.."
DER SPIEGEL: Your daughter Agam wrote in an article that she was afraid of being raped. How did you try to protect her?
Goldstein-Almog: Our guards were relatively respectful towards us, but I remember that once one of the men asked Agam to cook with him. I kept going into the kitchen to check on her to make sure nothing was happening.
After that the article derails into some hearsay about anonymous unconfirmed rumors. Strangely the people you are citing have certainly not experienced that.
I think you mean the people you used as evidence by posting a chopped up propaganda clip. I merely linked to the full interview where they did not speak highly of their captors.
Strange how the UN is infallible when they agree with Hamas, but when they don't it's "hearsay about anonymous unconfirmed rumors." /s
The UN report being filled with the same claims used by NYT which have been completely debunked does not lend it any credibility either.
That report has not been "debunked," despite what you claim, or what The Intercept published about the New York Times.
What a load of shit.
That clip is pure propaganda, deceptively edited, and completely out of context… The stories of Chen Almog-Goldstein and her 17 year old daughter Agam have not changed.
If you don’t believe me, try watching the full interview.
If it’s not too traumatic for you, I’d recommend watching the body cam footage from the fork incident. It’s is pretty informative, and gives some context for what happened.

I see.
So you think it is unfair to question the numbers, and that we should blindly accept the Gaza health ministry numbers as authoritative and exact?
This despite the fact that the organization reporting these numbers is led by people appointed by one of the participants/instigators of the conflict? Not to mention the fact that there has been a shift in methodology for counting, and that this conflict is happening on a drastically different scale.
Honestly, I originally pulled the “Israeli aggression” quote from this AP article. It was also included in the NPR article I linked, but it is a widely reported fact.
The Health Ministry doesn’t report how Palestinians were killed, whether from Israeli airstrikes and artillery barrages or other means, like errant Palestinian rocket fire. It describes all casualties as victims of “Israeli aggression.”
We also have documented instances where deaths clearly include gunfire, which would not be considered “bombardments,” so it’s fair to assume a translation error resulting from a language barrier.
To clarify, the reason I said “It’s a factual and neutral statement,” is that Reuters prides itself on that being free of bias as much as possible. Whether or not they achieve that is up for debate, but it’s included in their Standards & Values..
Firstly, the evidence is not vague. Unless Israel started deliberately targeting women and children, while ignoring men, there is something wrong in their data. I wouldn’t personally ascribe a specific reason without more information.
Secondly, the scale of this conflict has far surpassed any other since the founding of the Palestinian Ministry of Health in 1993 (which split to become the Gaza Ministry of Heath in 2008). Accurately recording ~30,000 deaths vs 1,440, 2,310, or 260 is exceedingly challenging.
Hamas has at the very least accidentally killed civilians, but I don’t think we’ll come to an understanding on this.
Of course aid should be a top priority. But even if supposedly Hamas did everything you said (which they didn't as the BBC wrote an article detailing the fire came from israel), the aid one is one you cannot possibly attribute to Hamas.
Uh, did I miss something?
When in my comment did I say what Hamas did?
I don't know what to tell you other than are straight up believing propaganda my human. Like, your empathy with the Palestinians is commendable, but your lack of empathy for Israelis is abhorrent.
I’ll make a few statements about what I see in the situation, but picking through every piece of disinformation is exhausting and I don’t have the time to continually engage with you at this time.
Palestinians are suffering and dying horribly in Gaza in very unjust ways.
Netanyahu wants to expand Israel, and doesn’t believe in a two state solution.
Netanyahu does not want the conflict to end without a major victory, because his political career is over once the conflict is.
The hard right of Israel doesn’t care about the suffering of the Palestinians.
Hamas is brutal, effective, and in many ways immoral.
Hamas does not believe in a two state solution, wishes to destroy the nation of Israel, calling for the removal or killing of all Jews in Israel.
Hamas does not want this conflict to end because it benefits their goals. They gain international support, and power when Palestinians suffer and die.
