The dog rape thing did seem pretty stupid, but can a country seriously sue for defamation?

I think it is an interesting question which should be explored.
Libel and slander aren’t legal simply because it is another country AFAIK.

I’m sure he wishes he could just blow them up like he’s done countless other journalists (and children)
Such an awesome regime we’ve chosen to be in bed with and start wars with/for

Israel is suing to discredit the reporting and paint it as antisemitic, not because it's actually false. (I don't know if it's true or not, but Kristof isn't a hack and the publisher is standing behind the story.)
Israel knows this will never be heard in any court, but the suit gives the impression that they have a case and provides the people who make a living defending Israel with another talking point.

I’m not sure a country, including the United States, can sue for defamation. Defamation is typically supposed to committed against a person, not a non-personal entity such as a government. It’s even difficult (albeit not unheard of) for a corporation to sue for defamation.
With that being said, the fact that a foreign country rather than the US is the suing entity does seem to add yet another complication.

Kristof is a flaming lib and is 100% a hack. This is common knowledge.
He’s one of the biggest Trump haters at the NYT, only slightly behind “I’m a constitutional conservative so I’m voting for Kamala Harris” David French and crazy old Grandpa Thomas Edsall

Interesting commentary on the human condition that a nation purportedly justified by the dire need to protect its people from racism and genocide itself became a ruthlessly genocidal apartheid state within two generations of its creation.

Kristof IS a fricking hack, and if you seriously think the Jews trained a special unit of police dogs to sexually rape men, then you make Flat Earthers and 9/11 Troofers look like Galileo in comparison.

Benjamin Netanyahu has done more to drive anti semitism than any dimwit Neo Nazi in America could ever dream of

FREE PALESTINE! Where parents strap bombs on their own children and send them out to their death.

They could do that once a day and it would still be rookie numbers compared to Bibi and friends last few years
I also said not one word about Palestine. I was simply condemning the murder of journalists (and children) and our funding/kinship with the country committing these atrocities.
So yeah, weird reply by you.

Can you imagine liking a group of people who sacrifice their own children as suicide bombers for money?
Your own kid, gone, just for a paycheck and "martyr" status.
