I am writing in response to Pat Hynes’ recent letter claiming that the reports of rape and sexual violence during Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks on Israel were “fake news” [“Why feminists are silent about Oct. 7,” Recorder, Jan. 10]. She cited her sources. We have different sources. I have heard from Israelis who know all too well about these attacks and have confirmed that they took place. These days, I think we all know that just because someone calls something “fake news” doesn’t mean that it is.
