What was said

"But then there were claims made as all of your listeners know that Hamas had weaponized rape and sexual violence. I found that for reasons not worth going into right now. I found that implausible and then I started to go through the evidence and there is no material evidence to support that claim."

Norman Finkelstein argues that, after reviewing what he calls the available evidence, he found no material evidence for claims that Hamas used rape as a weapon on 7 October. He says he accepts that significant atrocities occurred and that he addresses the allegation in a chapter of his forthcoming book.
