The chair of Israel’s “Hamas rape” commission, Cochav Elkayam Levy, has delivered a highly revealing response to me.

After I exposed her for promoting a 2022 photo of dead Kurdish fighters as women raped by Hamas on Oct 7, she did not bother to refute me, nor did she explain her mistake or issue a correction.

Instead, she tacitly acknowledged that her evidence was fake and simply thanked me for the publicity. Then she blocked me.

Elkayam Levy therefore acknowledges that Israel’s commission on October 7 sex crimes has no interest in conducting a factual inquiry, or upholding basis standards of review. It is nothing more than a propaganda tool designed to distract from and justify the titanic crimes Israel is committing in Gaza. Indeed, its conclusions were determined by the political imperatives of the Israeli military, not by any evidence.

Elyakam Levy also felt compelled to defend her record of consulting for Israel’s Attorney General on breaking Palestinian prisoner hunger strikes. While claiming she “advocated for the protection of prisoners rights” in a 2015 paper, she actually weaponized human rights law to advocate force feeding as a mechanism of protecting their “right to life.”
