The New York Times is astonishingly pro-Israel. I saw this by Norman Finkelstein this morning:
"The Times reporters covering today’s story are named Aaron Boxerman and Adam Ragson. Both of them previously worked in Jerusalem for the Israeli propaganda rag sheet, Times of Israel. Theirs must have been a most smooth transition from Israel’s Jerusalem disinformation bureau to Israel’s New York disinformation bureau. Still, wouldn’t a cost-cutting expert recommend that the Times just reprint IDF press releases without the intermediary of “reporters”?"

And the UN report is flawed. Its authors admit they only had access to what Israel was willing to show them. "Patten said her team was not able to meet with any victims of sexual violence “despite concerted efforts to encourage them to come forward.”" Also, "at least two allegations of sexual violence widely repeated in the media were unfounded due to either new superseding information or inconsistency in the facts gathered.”"
Further, this particular investigation acknowledges that it is likely some rapes occurred, even though we have yet to learn the name of anyone raped that day. Skip ahead in the video to Madeleine Rees's comments if you're primarily interested in that.
