Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial and museum, refuted claims made by the Russian Foreign Ministry that it was hiding materials about Ukrainian collaboration with Nazis during the Holocaust, as reported by @StarrJpost. In a separate but related issue, Kibbutz Be’eri was the subject of a New York Times exposé on October 7, alleging sexual abuse within the community. However, spokespeople for Kibbutz Be’eri, along with reports from The Intercept and journalists Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim, denied these allegations, stating that there was no sexual abuse, as detailed by @jeremyscahill and @ryangrim. Further supporting this, the UN found no evidence of sexual abuse at Kibbutz Be’eri, despite finding reasonable grounds for such abuse in other locations on the same date.
Further evidence that the New York Times's allegations of grotesque sexual crimes at Kibbutz Be'eri were unfounded. The UN found "reasonable grounds" to believe that there was sexual abuse in other places on Oct 7th, but not at Kibbutz Be'eri. https://t.co/AORAs6wZWP
