The contents of the Israeli Association of Rape Crisis Center’s paper alleging “systematic” Hamas rape derive largely from discredited second-hand testimonies and debunked media reports. Among its most heavily cited sources is a dubious NY Times article that triggered a staff revolt at the paper.

The main criticism 'established' western-aligned media uses to attack The Grayzone is that they have maintained and shown evidence for ISIL using chemical weapons against Syrians, whereas the western narrative is that it was the Syrian government.

Two days ago, OPCW (The UN) came to the same conclusion as the Grayzone.

They explicitly say that no one other than ISIL is a probable suspect.
