You know, if I were a PR guy and got reports from medical staff of, I dunno, mass rapes, tranquilizers being used, etc. I would NOT fire out this report immediately via my state's media. I'd hurriedly find respected professionals from countries that have absolutely no reason to pull punches or be nice to mine, get them visas and whatever else is required, and get them access to the medical reports, victim testimony, etc. and have THEM release the information then refer to it in my future PR announcements.

The fact that Israel isn't even like paying off people to put out fake reports to reference is just sad. I thought the IDF and Mossad were this untouchable, scary apparatus of technology and state? Give us some lies that we can't look at and go "so... no actual source beyond claims by Israelis?" (And not even the victims, but "witnesses" after the fact).

I thought Rumsfeld and Powell's (double rot in piss) selling of the Iraq invasion was a clownshow, but holy shit man.
