The Implausibility of the New York Times ‘Dog Rape’ Lie is the Whole Point

There are two ways to smear someone.

1. You make up a plausible story, e.g.. he’s having an affair, he embezzles money.

2. You make up something shocking, insane and unbelievable, e.g. he has a thing for gerbils.

The gerbil story is ‘sticky’. It’s not plausible, but that doesn’t matter. The shocking and disgusting nature of it is such that it was forever associated with Richard Gere. It’s something people repeat and then laugh about.

Fast forward to now and just as Israel was about to release a report on atrocities and rapes by Hamas, some pro-Hamas groups coordinated with the New York Times to preempt it with a bizarre column accusing Israel of getting dogs to rape imprisoned terrorists.

That was followed by people pointing out that this is an insane lie that isn’t even possible and by Nick Kristoff, the New York Timeser whose name this went out under, and Megan K. Stack of the New York Times op-ed section, sneering that their critics were discussing the plausibility of “dog rape”.

In short, mission accomplished. Rather than talking about the Hamas sexual assaults that happened, everyone is talking about the Times’ own version of the gerbil story.

Islam obsessively hates dogs, so it naturally picked dogs over gerbils, but Islamic terrorists and propagandists put out a lot of fake animal stories involving Israel.

Hamas arrested a dolphin who was caught spying for the Jewish State. Hezbollah busted an eagle working for the Jews, Sudan took down a spy vulture and Egypt arrested a Zionist duck (or possibly a Zionist stork). Iran nabbed 14 squirrels for spying for Israel.

None of this third world conspiracy slop was exciting enough for the New York Times which knows that the story needed to have a shocking sexual angle.

And now the sort of thing we used to see in MEMRI clips from Iraqi TV runs in the New York Times as a cover-up effort to suppress the actual story.

At Kibbutz Be’eri, nails, sharp objects, and pieces of metal and plastic were similarly embedded in a woman whose body was discovered naked and bound. On another victim, grenades were used.

Victims were mutilated, with body parts cut off used to create depraved scenes gleefully concocted to traumatise those who discovered them.

‘The purpose was humiliation, not victory,’ first responder Eran Masas, who came across one such barbaric arrangement, told The Civil Commission.

That is Islamic culture. Lying about it is leftist media culture.
