TEL AVIV — Social media users allege
Cochav Elkayam-Levy, head of Israel’s civil commission, showed an old 2022 Kurdish
female recruits' photo, falsely implying they were Israeli girls assaulted by
Al-Qassam fighters at the
Nova Music Festival on October 7.

Investigative
journalist Max Blumenthal exposed the fabrication, revealing that Israeli
authorities created a "Hamas Massacre" site to disseminate scenes
from the music festival, Khaberni reported.
On
X, formerly known as Twitter, Elkayam-Levy claims she was targeted by
Blumenthal, asking X users to “BelieveIsraeliWomen,” and here was the response:
The chair of Israel's "Hamas
rape" commission, Cochav Elkayam Levy, has delivered a highly revealing
response to me.
After I exposed her for promoting a
2022 photo of dead Kurdish fighters as women raped by Hamas on Oct 7, she did
not bother to refute me, nor did she explain her mistake or issue a correction.
Instead, she tacitly acknowledged
that her evidence was fake and simply thanked me for the publicity. Then she
blocked me.
Elkayam-Levy therefore acknowledges
that Israel's commission on October 7 sex crimes has no interest in conducting
a factual inquiry or upholding basic standards of review. It is nothing more
than a propaganda tool designed to distract from and justify the titanic crimes
Israel is committing in Gaza. Indeed, its conclusions were determined by the
political imperatives of the Israeli military, not by any evidence.
Elyakam-Levy also felt compelled to
defend her record of consulting for Israel's Attorney General on breaking
Palestinian prisoner hunger strikes. While claiming she "advocated for the
protection of prisoners’ rights" in a 2015 paper, she weaponized human
rights law to advocate force-feeding as a mechanism of protecting their
"right to life."
Elkayam-Levy
reiterated these claims on November 12 at Harvard Medical School in a seminar
titled “Unspeakable Terrorism,” discussing gender-based violence on October 7.
She described a scene in a photo showing the body of a young woman, with the
lower part exposed, torn underwear, and hanging from one leg, claiming it was
captured at the Nova Music Festival site.
Additionally,
a recent allegation circulated that the friend of released Israeli captive Maya
Regev stated Regev was raped by more than one man during her captivity with
Hamas, as mentioned in Israeli medical reports.
However,
an investigation revealed that medical reports did not mention any rape. The
Israeli Ministry of Health announced that Regev, released from Gaza on Sunday,
November 26, arrived at Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva for immediate
medical follow-up, and her condition was stable.
