It looks more like the Israel government is trying to distance themselves from Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy because the lies they pushed together are all falling apart.<\/h3>\n

By Jonas E. Alexis, Senior Editor<\/p>\n

Cochav Elkayam-Levy, the Israeli operative who was\u00a0awarded with the Israel Prize last week for pushing the \u201cHamas mass rapes\u201d hoax<\/a>, now stands accused of scamming donors of millions of dollars and spreading misinformation.<\/span>The scandalous allegations are only being reported in Hebrew in the Israeli paper YNet but the Grayzone spotted it out and translated the story to English.From\u00a0The Grayzone, \u201cIsraeli propagandist behind Hamas \u2018mass rape\u2019 narrative exposed as grifter, fraud\u201d<\/a>:<\/p>\n

[\u2026] Yet three days [after receiving the Israel Prize], Israel\u2019s largest newspaper, YNet, published a\u00a0damning expos\u00e9<\/a>\u00a0accusing Elkayam-Levy of ripping off major donors, including a member of the Biden administration, spreading fake Hamas atrocity tales, and failing to deliver on her promise of a major report about sexual violence on October 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have disassociated themselves from her because her research is inaccurate,\u201d an Israeli government official told YNet. \u201cAfter all, the whole story is that they want to accuse us of spreading fake news, and her methodology was neither good nor accurate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Government officials were particularly incensed that Elkayam-Levy spread discredited claims that a Hamas militant cut a fetus from a pregnant woman before raping the woman \u2014 a\u00a0lie first spread by confirmed fraudster Yossi Landau<\/a>\u00a0of the scandal-stained ZAKA organization. \u201cThe story about the pregnant woman who had her stomach cut open \u2013 a story that was proven to be untrue, and she spread it in the international press,\u201d the official complained to YNet. \u201cIt\u2019s no joke. Little by little, professionals began to distance themselves from her because she is unreliable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elkayam-Levy further alienated the Israeli government by spinning her \u201cCivil Commission\u201d out of a one-woman operation she ran called the Deborah Institute, creating the sense that she was representing Tel Aviv in an official capacity. \u201cIn the beginning she was really very active, which was very nice,\u201d a source told YNet. \u201cThen it started calling itself a civilian commission. People got confused, members of Congress turned to people who work with Israel and asked what it is \u2014 \u2018Israel built a commission?\u2019 It\u2019s a confusing name. And to the question of whether there is such a thing at all? Is there such a body? The answer is \u2013 no. It is the body. She is the civil commission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through her Deborah Institute, Elkayam-Levy has raised millions of dollars. But if the government sources who spoke to YNet are to be believed, she conned wealthy American Jewish donors like Rahm Emanuel, currently the Biden administration\u2019s ambassador to Japan, and channeled the money into her personal bank account.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

According to YNet, Elkayam-Levy appealed for $8 million to launch her \u201cCivil Commission,\u201d requesting $1.5 million for \u201cmanagement and administration.\u201d \u201cRahm Emanuel, the US ambassador to Japan, donated money to her, she took donations from a lot of people, and started asking for money for lectures,\u201d the Israeli official complained.<\/p>\n

After more than five months of research, however, the publicity-hungry lawyer has produced nothing of substance to justify her massive fundraising haul. Indeed, the \u201catrocity report\u201d Elkayam-Levy had promised supporters, which would have provided clear evidence of systematic sexual violence by Hamas on October 7, has yet to arrive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It looks more like the Israel government is trying to distance themselves from Elkayam-Levy because the lies they pushed together are all falling apart.<\/span><\/p>\n

As I reported earlier today,\u00a0the NY Times just admitting a key witness in their atrocity propaganda tale about \u201cHamas mass rapes\u201d on Oct 7 is a liar.<\/a><\/p>\n

The lies Israel and the NY Times spread to justify genocide are imploding and no one wants to be left holding the bag.<\/span><\/p>\n
