What is a tankie?
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.
The AP has been targeted by Israel for its coverage of the conflict.
In that article they interview the people who initially reported some of these cases of rape, and illustrate how and why they were wrong. It doesn’t say anywhere that there are no other erroneous reports of rape.
The UN report, which I’ve linked elsewhere, illustrates the evidence and methodology, and makes the convincing argument that sexual assault likely occurred in the context of Oct 7. It’s in plain English.

Consider reading that instead of replying to me. It debunks everything you said about the UN report 5 times over.
I have read the UN report. You have not.
I’ve read the report, and it states over and over again that there is credible evidence of assaults, and stipulates how it went about its business.
I’m working through Dr. Finkelstein’s arguments. All I can see he does is cast doubt on the evidence that was collected and the mission’s mandate. None of this amounts to “there is no evidence that there was any rape.” It just means that there is evidence for more investigation.
