how the reports of rapes and torture were just "exagerations".

What was also nauseating was how some bent over backwards trying to justify October 7.

As for the accusations regarding Israeli abuses of prisoners with dogs, if true it is deplorable. However, I will wait for what independent investigations uncover.
