Pramila Jayapal Equivocates on Hamas Rapes: ‘We Have to Be Balanced’
Breitbart ^ | 3 Dec 2023 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 12/03/2023 10:21:02 PM PST by Olog-hai

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) is taking worldwide criticism after appearing to deflect criticism of rape and sexual violence by Palestinian Hamas terrorists against Israeli women in its October 7 terror attack, saying Israeli misdeeds had to be considered.

As Breitbart News has reported, there is ample evidence of sexual violence against Israeli women during the attack, though the Israeli military was not able to conduct forensic tests, and the apparent victims known thus far were killed and cannot testify. […]

Jayapal’s attempt to pivot to Israel’s alleged misdeeds took, at face value, Hamas death statistics for Gaza, which do not distinguish between civilians and terrorists killed, and which allegedly include terrorists killed during the October 7 attack.

Moreover, Jayapal’s claim that “rape happens in war situations” is simply incorrect. Israeli soldiers do not rape Palestinian women — a fact that the left acknowledges, though anti-Israel critics have claimed that is because Israeli soldiers are racist. …

I’ve seen recent photos of her. It looks like somebody hit her in the face with an iron and it stayed that way.

Jews have been expelled from the Left Coalition. That is what has happened.

In the whole "intersectionality" hierarchy of the Left, Jews are "white", and Palestinians are the "oppressed people of color.

Leftist Jews are now "out" from the "in crowd".

Sarandon was shamed into a recant of sorts.

Sarandon has to work in Hollywood, which still has lots of influential Jews. At the moment.

Let me get this straight .. it is better to be “inclusive” and rape and kill then it is to be “racist” and not do that?

Haven't you been paying attention? Opposition to "inclusion" (of favored groups) IS regarded as more serious than rape and murder by the Left. Just look at how they excuse violent assaults against whites when blacks feel disrespected.

"JAYAPAL: And I think that rape is horrific. Sexual assault is horrific. I think that it happens in war situations. Terrorist organizations like Hamas obviously are using these as tools. However, I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians."

It's not everyday we encounter such a splendid example of a diseased liberal mind.

Yes. Paypal is just repeating the latest story. Truth has nothing to do with it. It’s a preposterous story. The left has been given permission to be socio-pathetic liars if the narrative advances their position.

I vote Israel kills all in gaza. Is the only way to stop this from happening over and over and over by these vermin. Should it happen from no matter the source, kill them all is my vote.

Like Obama, Jayapal spent some of her youth in Indonesia where infidel women are targets for scorn, rape and slaughter.

“I vote Israel kills all in gaza. Is the only way to stop this from happening over and over and over by these vermin.”

Yes. Emphasis on “all”. Otherwise it’ll be a whack-a-mole situation. If you destroy just the adult males now, there’ll be a new crop of ‘em in 10 years and we’re back here when we started.

Also in Singapore, which is 18 percent Mahometan.

Jayapal is ethnically Tamil; she never disclosed what her religious beliefs are, if any.

“JAYAPAL: And I think that rape is horrific. Sexual assault is horrific. I think that it happens in war situations. Terrorist organizations like Hamas obviously are using these as tools. However, I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians.”

Jayapal is missing one main point that expresses the difference between Islam and everyone else. Other cultures illegalize rape, and attempt to enforce that. In Islam, rape of captive women is legal. Indeed raping captive women is part of Hadith, that is canonical Islamic Law.

Some relevant references from a previous thread.

Why do we let turd worlder ideas into American politics?
We had another Indonesian posing his values sets on america, right down to it’s demise. He opened the borders so we could become the turd world. Screw that!

How about we just require everyone in Gaza to get a clot shot. That should take care of population reduction.
