On October 9, the Los Angeles Times affixed an editor’s note to Jonah Goldberg’s column about Hamas’ barbaric attack on Israeli civilians two days earlier. Moreover, radical Islamic terrorists are known to use rape and sexual coercion as weapons of war. Reasonable minds could disagree about whether it was safe to deduce from this evidence that sexual crimes had, with 100% certainty, occurred over the course of Hamas’ attack.
