>Former hostage Omer Shem Tov, held for 505 days in Hamas captivity, was starved by Hamas while they forced him to haul hundreds of UN aid boxes into tunnels. He saw no lack of food in Gaza. “If there was starvation, it was caused by Hamas.”

China has been found to be behind a growing number of anti-Israel demonstrations in America. It’s not that Beijing suddenly cares deeply for the Palestinians.

Led by Pramila Patten, the secretary-general’s representative on sexual violence in conflict, the delegation reviewed more than 50 hours of video, thousands of photographs, and dozens of independent interviews. Their report said the experts had gathered substantial evidence that Hamas raped and sexually abused civilians during and after the attack. They cited multiple locations — the Nova music festival, Route 232, and Kibbutz Re’im — where rape and gang rape occurred. An investigation by the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel reached similar findings.
