A senior lecturer at De Montfort University in Leicester said it is “funny” and “not realistic” to imagine Hamas carried out horrific sexual crimes on October 7. 

In an email to the JC titled ‘Your fake news’, Dr Ahmet Orun wrote: “Any news related to ‘horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7’ is not realistic at all. 

“Can you imagine, how someone fight and commit sexual activity [sic] in same time in a very limited military activity time. They become a poor target.

“It is really funny!!”
