This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say with "couldn't be verified by other journalists". The specific event discussed at the start of that section concerns an alleged rape that was not witnessed by a NYT reporter presonally. The evidence for it wasn't believed by some of her family, at least initially. That unfortunately seems fairly common for rape victims. Other descriptions about what happened that day were also from witness testimony, so it makes sense that details would disagree. It's expected to be fairly unreliable as evidence, but not to the extent it shouldn't be reported on.
Do you consider reports of sexual violence to be Israeli propaganda? Because while Hamas has denied that its fighters committed any sexual assaults, the UN has reported there was "a pattern indicative of sexual violence by Palestinian forces during the attack". The unverified part of the claim by Israel is not that it happened, but whether it was actually ordered by Hamas rather than just being opportunistic individuals. For the record, the UN has similarly reported Israeli forces doing the same to Palestinians with at least implicit encouragement from leadership following Oct. 7.
