Rape denial is ‘new way to dehumanize Jews,’ Canary Mission says

The watchdog released a video of activists and journalists questioning the atrocities that Hamas terrorists committed on Oct. 7.

Activists and journalists who deny that Hamas terrorists raped women and girls on Oct. 7 have found a “new way to dehumanize Jews.”

That’s according to a new, graphic video from the watchdog Canary Mission, which addresses anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour, Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon, Intercept co-founder Jeremy Scahill, podcaster Briahna Joy Gray and Max Blumenthal, editor-in-chief of The Gray Zone, among others.

Among the juxtapositions in the video is an Israel Police chief superintendent saying that the Jewish state has collected “substantial evidence for sexual violence” on Oct. 7, followed by Blumenthal stating that “right now there is no evidence of any rape taking place.”

According to Scahill, there is “an intense propaganda campaign to convince the world that Hamas had engaged in systematic campaign of rape aimed at Jewish women.”

“It’s time to call out these activists for what they really are: rape deniers,” the film states.
