Forensic examiner Jennifer Koonings, who was later fired from Mount Sinai Hospital, has challenged claims of "mass rape" allegedly committed on October 7th. She points to a lack of forensic evidence, credible witnesses, or solid support for these allegations, which have been widely reported in Western media, including The New York Times. Koonings holds two Master's of Science degrees and is a certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). She is additionally licensed as a New York Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (NYSAFE). Koonings argues that these claims have been used to justify the genocide in Gaza. Despite losing her job and facing slander, she says, "If I had to do it all over again, I would."
