Report: Israel has launched defamation proceedings against the NYT over a column that alleged "widespread sexual abuse of Palestinians by Israeli prison guards, soldiers & settlers."

Israel is highly unlikely to win the case:

The NYT “does not have to prove that it was true", only that they believed it was true. "It could turn out they made a mistake.“

@DrALJONES NYT lawyers should be very excited at the opportunity to question top IDF officers and cabinet ministers under oath in pre-trial discovery.

@Casey9w @DrALJONES Have the IDF lawyers have been drinking a bit too much Blud-Libation?
