In a CNN interview on Sunday, when she was asked about Hamas raping women, she said rape was horrific but when pressed further, she replied: "However, I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians." The interviewer then reminded her that: "But you don't see Israeli soldiers raping *interrupted by Jayapal*" Jayapal then stated: "Well, Dana, I think...we're not, we're not...I don't want this to be the hierarchy of oppressions."According to Ronny Reyes of the New York Post on the same day, Sunday, reported that an Israeli woman was viciously gang raped by 10 Hamas soldiers who screamed to be killed and was shot in the head.
Where are the women's groups about condemning Jayapal's comments? Or about the mass rapes in general? Silence.
When someone mentions the words "gang rapes," you should never say "but" or "however" after it. Women's groups marched in lockstep for the ME-TOO movement, but now their politics prioritizes everything for them. They no longer care about the repression of women. A lot changed in a few years as the progressive party took hold. Politics over rape. Once you, as a women's group, no longer stand up against gang rapes and mass rapes, what good are you as a women's group? How are women now aligning themselves with groups that do not speak out against such atrocities?
Should we believe Hamas, or should we believe the women's bodies that show the savagery? The Biden administration has acknowledged the rapes and denounced them. So has Hillary Clinton: "It is outrageous that some who claimed to stand for justice are closing their eyes and their hearts to the victims of Hamas." Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Christine Pelosi tweeted in regard to Jayapal's comments: "I should not have to say this in 2023 but here we are: RAPE IS RAPE.
Do not minimize, excuse, 'balance' or 'both sides' sexual assault -- that is victim blaming we have spent decades trying to undo in the laws, the courts and the hearts and minds of the people."
UN Women on X: "We unequivocally condemn the brutal attacks by Hamas on Israel on 7 October.
We are alarmed by the numerous accounts of gender-based atrocities and sexual violence during those attacks."
Gilad Erdan, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations: "To these organizations, Israeli women are not women. Their silence has been deafening."
Kirstin Gillibrand: "When I saw the list of women's rights organizations who have said nothing, I nearly choked."
I never thought I would ever agree with Hillary on anything. But what we are seeing is Dems finally separating themselves from the radical far left progressives.
