the sheer lack of evidence
For anyone still entertaining the denial of sexual violence by Hamas,worth listening to Christina Lamb on the Media Show in december. She has investigated these types of crimes in conflicts around the world. Continued minimising or denial at this stage would start to seem insidious. Lamb aknowledges the huge amounts of misinformation and propaganda on both sides, and the rife and unhelpful whataboutery. (titled to be about Lockerbie, Lamb section comes first)

What worries me is how much compelling evidence there is of Israel's genocidal mission, war crime after war crime, vs the sheer lack of evidence for Israel's claims about Hamas and Palestinians. E.g.:
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/war-gaza-israeli-police-having-difficulty-finding-sexual-assault-victims-7-october-attack-says
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-04/ty-article/.premium/israeli-police-ask-victims-and-witnesses-to-testify-about-hamas-sexual-violence/0000018c-d580-d751-ad8d-ffa4acf40000
The Haaretz article looks like it's been heavily edited now? This bit looks new, "due to the fact that many of the victims were killed that day, taken hostage or are in a state of psychological distress and unable to testify."
I also find it sickening how nations quickly came together to stop the Yemeni Houthis (power to them for doing something despite their relative poverty) in the Red Sea, but didn't do shit to stop a massacre of children and deliberate attempt at expulsion.
Birds of a feather flock together.
