We speak with Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim of The Intercept about their exposé of a major New York Times piece into alleged mass rapes committed by Hamas militants on October 7 that raises serious questions about the accuracy of the story. The Times article was headlined "'Screams Without Words': How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7," and its release in late December helped the Israeli government to justify the ongoing war on Gaza and to paint pro-Palestine supporters abroad as not caring about sexual violence. One of the reporters of the Times piece, Israeli freelancer Anat Schwartz, is being investigated by the Times for her social media activity, which included dehumanizing language and endorsements of violence against Palestinians in Gaza. "The New York Times has grave, grave mischaracterizations, sins of omission, reliance on people who have no forensic or criminology credentials to be asserting that there was a systematic rape campaign put in place here," says Scahill, who criticizes the newspaper for not issuing any corrections for their flawed reporting. We also hear from Ryan Grim about how the flawed Times article touched off "extremely intense debate" inside the newsroom. "They're used to external criticism, but the amount of internal criticism they're getting has them on the backfoot," he says.

NYT has lost credibility. Shame on them for allowing this to happen.
Agree. They have gone MAGA in a lot of ways.
I dunno. If you look at their headlines over the decades, they’ve consistently been on the wrong side of history. They were exposed by the illegal and immoral Iraq invasion as government stenographers. Now they are stenographers for foreign, genocide committing governments. They are truly pathetic.
@@celieneohara521 oh for sure, they are full on Blue MAGA which is just as unhinged.
@@celieneohara521 Hi Joe!
Oct 7 was a glimpse into the way Muhamad likely fought battles since Muslims emulate him … shameful crimes of rape and mutilation
Unbelievable. I will never look at NYT ever again.
i will never look at Israel the same again
This woman fantasized atrocities. Monstruous

this isn't 2005 democracy now. its a pitiful mockery of its former self.
A witness saw a terrorist cut off a woman's breast and then play with it on the ground. Witnesses saw women being shot in the genitals. A witness saw a woman raped, then shot in the head, then raped more while dead. Almost no actual rape victims survived; is it any mystery why none showed up at rape crisis centres? No survivors of the Nazi massacre of tens of thousands of Jews at Babi Yar showed up at trauma centres after. Will Democracy Now be "exploding" the "myth" of the Holocaust next?

Not everyone reads or watches the GrayZone. There is nothing wrong with another news group reporting the same story. It's beneficial that more people are aware of the lies coming out of genocidal, Zionist Israel, and repeated by the NYT.

@@johanvanhecke8583 this is something that is too often overlooked. Israel had warnings that Hamas was going to make a move, and yet they were completely unprepared for the attack. Their response time was abysmal! Hearing "we have the right to protect ourselves" takes on a special irony when you consider that indeed, it would have been reasonable to defend against this attack but THEY DIDN'T at the time. At least not very effectively. I've heard two guesses about why that was: it was either incompetence or some kind of intentional choice, for whatever sick reason.

that they will do the oct 7th attack over and over??

@@sheilamacdougal4874what was the UN report about rapes conducted in 7th October?
@@insomnia7420 It's a 24-page report by a UN mission team headed by Pramila Patten: "
Following visit to Israel and the occupied West Bank, UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Pramila Patten, finds sexual violence occurred on 7 October, and against hostages and calls for a fully-fledged investigation"
From the report:
"Based on the information it gathered, the mission team found clear and convincing information that sexual violence, including rape, sexualized torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment has been committed against hostages and has reasonable grounds to believe that such violence may be ongoing against those still held in captivity. In line with a survivor/victim-centered approach, findings are conveyed in generic terms and details are not revealed.
In the context of the coordinated attack by Hamas and other armed groups against civilian and military targets throughout the Gaza periphery, the mission team found that there are reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual violence occurred in multiple locations during the 7 October attacks, including rape and gang-rape in at least three locations, namely: the Nova music festival site and its surroundings, Road 232, and Kibbutz Re’im. In most of these incidents, victims first subjected to rape were then killed, and at least two incidents relate to the rape of women’s corpses."

“Israel is a settler colonial project that is nearing its end, as colonial projects reach their final phase become more brutal and ruthless.” ~ Ilan Pappe
"According to Zionism, this is the land of Israel and this land belongs to all the Jews of the world, not to the Palestinians who live there. If you have a supremacist ideology, then you must resort to violence. You must create an APARTEID regime so that this RACIST ideology can be realized. This is the State of Israel.” ~Miko Peled.
"The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?" ~ Bertrand Russell
Abdessalam Yassine, founder of Hamas, was born near Ashkelon, also pushed with his family to Gaza by Israel. To refuse to see that 60% of Gazans came from the places where Israelis now live is to be blind. We cannot understand October 7th without knowing History. ~ Shlomo Sand (Jewish historian)
In international law, nowhere does one find that the occupying force has the “right” to defend itself. Instead, it is explicitly written that an occupied nation has the right to fight by any means necessary for its freedom.

@@lisadraga I’m not sure what Grayzone episode you’re talking about but I read it with the citations as of three days ago
Amy Goodman, you are one of my all time upstanders. I appreciate your investigative coverage. Please give a nod to The Grayone (Max Blumenthal and Aaron Maté), The Electronic Intifada and Mondoweiss who originally discussed some these topics months ago and faced serious scrutiny and judgement, yet they persisted in discussing a very controversial topic.
Why would they do that when democracy now is on the complete opposite end of the political spectrum.
Democracy now are pro war pro democrat proagandists & nothing more.
The truth will never hide
Thanks for being a true journalist to telling the truth
The good reputation of the NYT is long gone !
Democracy Now & The intercept have lost a bit of their own reputation: I have great respect for Scahill & Grim, but why didn't they cite where they got this from? This story was broke by Mondo Weiss, Electronic Intifada, & The GreyZone. Isn't that a bit of unethical on the journalistic integrity?
It should have been gone after they spent OVER A YEAR lying in support of the invasion of Iraq.
It’s so sad Aaron Mate worked at Dem Now give him the credit Amy you helped shape him into the journalist he is today
The Greyzone was reporting this for months. Why didn't you have them on?
NYT is shameful. But wow…give credit to GRAY ZONE …Aaron and Max
Witnesses reported horrific atrocities, always including the killing of victims. Is it any wonder none showed up later at crisis centres?
Thanks to the Grayzone! It was the Grayzone that did the actual journalism regarding this story! It's shameful that you do not mention this, Amy Goodman!
Credit must go to The Grayzone - not the Intercept. Shameful
At least credit The Grayzone and Electronic Intifada for exposing this, despite the attacks from everyone pandering to The Swamp.
Exactly! Amazing how Democracy Now pretends not to know, and how the Intercept attempt to take credit and lie by omission.

The Grayzone with Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate was on this first. Not the Intercept. Credit goes to the Grayzone for being ahead of this and found this out first.
Intercept cites them within the article
@@AwesometownUSAa little late innit? They were called out DUH, THATS WHY THEY edited and checked themselves
@@pachamamarecords they were cited on day one of the article’s posting. if you’re curious, I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but the streamer hasanabi read the article and provided commentary the day the article came out, and you can watch videos of him that include the multiple attributions. this just seems like needless drama/ infighting

Shameful that you're not mentioning The Grayzone, Electronic Intifada, and Mondoweiss for actually breaking the story. Really bad look.
NYT should be ashamed. Thank you for speaking the truth.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They are professional propagandist. This was not the first nor will be the last time.
The Intercept & Democracy Now should be ashamed as well: I have great respect for Scahill & Grim, but why didn't they cite where they got this from? This story was broke by Mondo Weiss, Electronic Intifada, & The GreyZone. Isn't that a bit of unethical on the journalistic integrity?
Dem Now and Ryan should be ashamed for not crediting the Grayzone for this investigation.
Easy to just read someone else's work. Low lifes.. Not the first time either.
This is The Gray Zone, Electronic Intifada and Mondo Weiss' exposé. *Not the Intercept's.*
Electric Intifada and Max Blumenthal were actually the first to bring this story. Good thing it’s catching on though!
Also Mondoweiss!
The Greyzone is first class journalism 😊
For the love for journalism: original debunking, credit to The Electronic Intifada & The Greyzone!
Really, Amy? Vanity Fair and The Intercept but no credit to the indy media who did all the heavy lifting, The Grayzone, Electronic Intifada, Mondoweiss. Pathetic.
The commonality between VF and The Int. are being billionaire owned and backed.
That's why things like DM seem to be pretend. I'm literally nobody at all and I know this, I can't be gaslit into thinking that they don't.

A witness saw a terrorist cut off a woman's breast and then play with it on the ground. Witnesses saw women being shot in the genitals. A witness saw a woman raped, then shot in the head, then raped more while dead. Almost no actual rape victims survived; is it any mystery why none showed up at rape crisis centres? No survivors of the Nazi massacre of tens of thousands of Jews at Babi Yar showed up at trauma centres after. Will Democracy Now be "exploding" the "myth" of the Holocaust next?

I want to see Dana Bash at CNN apologize to Jayapal and thr public for saying Hamas using SA as a weapon of war and IDF doesnt.
🎯
CNN SUCKS( NOT A TRUMP VOTER)
She'll do that when Helll freezes over. She's a hypocritical pro zionist mouthpiece of the IDF, more loyal to Israel, than the USA...as are most of the msm anchors and reporters on all the cable news channels.
I remember that
This is shameful. There is significant proof, accounts and recorded words in video transcripts from Hamas on Oct 7th. I hope the world calls out these journalists, the vitriol of denial and doubt they cast and puts them and their channels to shame. Honestly anyone can be a journalist now and have a channel. Sinwar himself is a sex offender, has used sexual crimes on Palestinians to subdue and create fear. All the narratives are abuse of language, that is not a 'resistance', its terrorism. Resistance is MLK or Gandi, not this lunatic group. How can anyone in their right mind question this at this point ? How much rape is required before you believe it happened ? There are Palestinians admitting Hamas has shot them, not one mention, condemnation even question on these garbage channels.
I was a longtime subscriber of NYT. Never again! 😢
It takes shaneless arrogance and hubris to take credit for other journalist's work.
The only reason I'm here is because I was cutious whether these two woukd give credit to the Grayzone and the Electronic Intifada for breaking thus story.
I suspected they wouldn't. I was right.
Glen Greenwald did the right thing by leaving the Intercept.
These men, along with Max Blumenthal, the Mate family, and others fighting to get the truth out are heroes of our time.

Shut up BOT
Exactly! Amazing how Democracy Now pretends not to know, and how the Intercept attempt to take credit and lie by omission.
The intercept repeated the story. They're a little late to the game. And they're not the ones that exposed this! Max and Aaron did!
You are right on the money Max and Aaron exposed NYT earlier in the conflict.
Give credit where it’s due, the Greyzone, Electronic Intifada, and Mondoweiss were all debunking these claims by NYT for MONTHS before the Intercept touched it.
Piggybacking without giving credit is theft. Have some integrity
Incredible lack of integrity and humanity from Amy Goodman in this regard. Many thanks to Aaron Mate and Max Blumenthal, and the EI and Mondowiess etc for good journalism, noit corruption like demoncracy Now
Didn’t the Grayzone investigate and break this news? Why aren’t they talking to Blumenthal?
Exactly !
Blumenthal, Mate,Finkelstein fell out with DN. Amy doesn't invite them on anymore. But still kudos to Scahill. But definitely Blumenthal and Mate did a lot of work on this. Blumenthal always mentions Gettleman lol.
@@155stw what fall out from DN..curious to know
Don't forget Electronic Intifada.
@@nidafirdous8038 part of it was due to Syria.
Thank you for your work Jeremy Scahill.
Don't forget Max Blumenthal also did a lot of work on this.
Jeremy protects the liberal elite responsible for the genocide to begin with. He works for a billionaire
We need more Jeremy’s and Ryan’s. Truth tellers. Thanks.
Oct 7 was a glimpse into the way Muhamad likely fought battles since Muslims emulate him
Also thank the actual person who broke the story first Max Blumenthal !!!!
And thank you to the GRAYZONE for being the ones who debunked the claims which the intercept is reporting!!!!
The news should be about truth and not lies.
The news should be based on factual information, rather than false or misleading statements.
The Grayzone and Electronic Intifada broke this a while ago. The Intercept has nothing to do with breaking the news nor did they cite the Grayzone and EI.
There is this paragraph in the Intercept article with links to the various webpages: "The independent site October 7 Fact Check, Mondoweiss, and journalists Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada and Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone have flagged numerous inconsistencies and contradictions in the stories told in the Times report, including the account of Cohen, who had initially said “he chose not to look, but he could hear them laughing constantly.”
This isn't proper citation.Not good enough.@@Rl-yj2ny

@@Rl-yj2ny after the fact which gives GreyZone, Mondo Weiss, and Electronic Intifada the right to sue them for plagiarism. Even in this interview they are representing as if they had broken the story.
Amy, Democracy Now really should have electronic intifada, Max& Aaron from The Grayzone, and Mondoweiss on too.
Have you forgotten some of the other journalists who used to work WITH you?
Don't forget Aaron Mate and Max Blumenthall. They DEBUNKED the 'Hamas mass rape' hasbara, first!
Credit where credit is due, Amy.
The Intercept is great.
But The Grayzone debunked the Gettleman 'Hamas mass rape' on Oct 7th, FIRST.
They deserve to get credit too,Amy.
PLEASE GIVE CREDIT TO THE GRAYZONE & THE ELECTRONIC INTIFADA & MONDOWEISS
Don't forget Owen Jones and Novara Media, and Al Jazeera who have been so consistent on this.
Agreed but also we should be grateful story is getting picked up for wider audience.
Well said. The media continues to undermine the GrayZone
Absolutely right. In fact the gray zone and electronic intifada were the first to debunk this disgusting article when it was hard to do so and they were under attack from the media. Also I do remember the intercept actually promoted the article and the false accusations of rape in a similar article of their own,so they are taking the credit for something they do NOT deserve. @Democracy now! Should be ashamed because this also is dishonest and malfunctioning journalism. I already unsubscribed from the intercept and I’ll do the same with democracy now.
@@Bathing824 No, all of them suck
It's worth mentioning that this work was first discovered by the Gray zone. not the intercept! As a matter of fact, the Intercept used much of the grey zones work!
It wasn’t Intercept who exposed the Lies. It was The Grayzone and Electronic Intifada. I can’t believe Democracy now is giving the credit to someone doesn’t deserve it.
Mondoweiss, Electronic Intifada and Grayzone were the first to expose this. I respect Ryan and Jeremy, but they should have acknowledged the independent news outlets that first brought this to light. However the story is now getting wide publicity now.
I would think twice about Ryan and listen very carefully if I was you.
@@celienat9369 What concerns do you have about him?
Greyzone broke this first
It was The Grey Zone that nailed this a long time ago. Well done Max
I am glad this story is getting more coverage, but I am irritated that the intercept is getting credit for a story that Electronic Intifada was the first to report on. The Intercept criticized EI for not taking the SA allegations at face value then turn around and take credit for the expose when the NYT turns out to be full of 💩 just like EI said all along.
I think you are confused. The article is about the internal investigation within the NYT about the article. While I appreciate the EI, you can't pretend like the EI has some sort of exclusive right to report truth. Others, like The Greyzone were also reporting on the subject as well.
I would just add that all allegations of sexual assault should be taken seriously.
@tracyleighbasham unlike the Intecept they didn't run the story without verifying it.
Max Blumenthal from The Grayzone broke the story and the Intercept is 100 percent responsible for crediting sources.
You people are stupid.
You b*tch about ethics in reporting but when your alternative sources breach ethics then you're here defending them.
Make up your mind.
Your media consumption behaviors are the same whether you seek it from mainstream or come out here to watch channels like DN.
Everyone wants to claim credit and be the big shot when it comes to Gaza. It's disgusting.
The EI immediately credited The Grayzone and have respect for each other.
Democracy Now and The Intercept have been disappointing.
Just because they're independent alternative sources doesn't mean they get it right.
But you just stay in your bubble.
I said the same thing! EI has been reporting the truth for months! Including the truth about Oct. 7!!!
I thought it was Max Blumenthal, and the Greyzonethat reported on Oct 7th first
It takes two to Lie; The Person who tells the Lie, and the Person who believes it😊
Or the one who repeats it.
There's are lies being told if democratic people think Hamas are poor victims of this war they started.

Exactly! Amazing how Democracy Now pretends not to know, and how the Intercept attempt to take credit and lie by omission.
and avoid facilitating fraud too?
Witnesses reported horrific atrocities, always including the killing of victims. Is it any wonder none showed up later at crisis centres?
Can you guys treat Max Blumenthal like this and maintain your credibility? Because his name alone carries more gravitas than most leftist media outlets.
What credibility?
Both Max and Aaron have worked on this, to expose the crimes of Z i0nist state. They deserve the credit
Credibility you don't have@@Communist1
I agree with you on Blumenthal's and Maté's credibility as to their reporting of the Palestine-Israel conflict, but I disagree with you on his and Aaron Matés gravitas as to their reporting of the Russian-Ukrain conflict.
Their coverage of the latter is very bad journalism, nothing but warped conspiracy theory whilst propagating aggressive Russian-fascist propaganda, and blaming the victim (the Ukrainian people) as being responsible for this war and apologising Vladolf Putin's corrupt grandiosity and his war crimes and his imperalistic attitudes.

💕Was surprised to learn that the West Bank, Gaza and Jerusalem have been under occupation for 55+ years 😵, according to the international law and UN resolutions (1967-2023). I've come to believe that justice needs power to enforce it. ⚖❤
Yes, since 1967 aka the Six Day War, which some sources will either avoid mention that Israel initiated it or outright lie that Arab countries (without naming which) attacked Israel. For the record, Israel initiated and launched the Six Day War and attacked Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq.
I'm American but it seems the Clinton administration 'peace accords' provided a distraction to provide right wing Israeli governments the opportunities to cut up the West Bank, expel Palestinians and build Israeli settlements. Trump's Abraham Accords are another fake process and charade. Both Dems and Republicans are guilty and we voters need to demand they fix these sorry policies and stop blocking a bona fide Palestinian state. UN Resolution 242 is controversial but it calls for an open and international East Jerusalem. That's another crisis -- Christians and Muslims who are Palestinian and Arabs in other countries -- are denied worship at holy sites. Under Jordanian and earlier Ottoman rules, East Jerusalem was not closed to any religious group. All groups had access and could freely worship. Disclosure: I'm American and Christian. My second degree focused on modern Middle Eastern history and cultures
Thank god we all have discovered and educated ourselves about all Israel lies and abuses to the Palestinian people.
