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. …

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

Jayapal gets it. That’s why we are seeing this ludicrous anti-semitic propaganda from leftists like her.

The Boomer Cons are shocked because they believed that previous Leftist posturing on racism and anti-semitism was real.

Jews mostly can’t believe it and are still in denial.

You are delusional.

They are not going to be shamed. Being part of the Left Coalition now requires taking the Palestinian side. Including these sorts of ridiculous lies and propaganda on behalf of hamas.

Sarandon was shamed into a recant of sorts. Israeli women shamed the U.N into launching an investigation of hamas rapes. I don’t think it’s delusional to think that women could pile on this piece of garbage and force her to back track.

People should call it out.

But don’t be surprised when it doesn’t work.

The ultimate end game is Islam. This means everyone on the Left will have to convert to Islam.

I wouldn’t be surprised. And they will be as “devout” as Saudi sheiks.

“Israeli soldiers are racist. …”

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?

bounce the rubble .... salt the earth

This butt-ugly critter will never have to worry about being raped, unless a muzzlime mistook her for a goat. She does not have American values and is clearly a foreign agent in our midst.

Okay, Pramila Jayapal, what do you think of this:

100 castrations for every rape.

Is that balanced enough for you???

I wouldn’t be suprised that it doesn’t work on some of the freaks, but the hamas savage’s crimes against women will be further exposed and at least some might be forced to acknowledge it.

These people disgrace themselves. They have morally bankrupt themselves and are exposed to the world as sold to the devil.

Here is what is coming. And we know this because we saw it with BLM and LGBT.

Around 2014/2015 the elite universities especially the Ivy League went off the rails with LGBT and BLM.

All the Boomer Cons told us “wait until they get to the real world. The profit constraints of the corporate world will sort them out.”

Well, we have seen how that forecast worked out in 2020 and after.

Similarly, what you see on elite University campuses in 2023, is what will be the official posture of every corporation and institution in ~2028.

Elite opnions, elite attitudes which control the major institutions come from the elite universities, via the elite press like the NYT and capture corporations and institutions (just like we saw with LGBT and BLM).

Some of the worst campus misconduct is turning up in places I would have never expected. And the University Administration is too intimidated to do anything.

I’ve heard more plausible lies from children.

Who does she think she’s fooling?

No, don’t answer that. There’s a brainwashed constituency in the higher ed community that already believes her.

Reminds me of the old Soviet Union. Why might that be?

If an Israeli soldier raped an arab, and put the footage online for all to see, it would be on every news network 24/7. The story would be front and centre of every newspaper. Every feminazi in the westen world would be marching in the street. Every politician, actor, athlete would have a microphone shoved in their face to denounce Israel. And yet hear you have this piece of slime so imbued with hatred of Israel that she thinks raping Israelis is just a facit of war.

Terrorist raids are not a war either, not that I would ever trot out the excuse that “rape is a part of war,” I suppose on a statistical historical basis there is truth to it, but there was never justification for it.

In a terrorist attack there would need to be a different excuse offered, anything you could find in history to compare to this would go under the heading of barbarian rape and pillage.

It was well known before this atrocity, that Israel’s usual standard of retribution is not just an eye for an eye, but a 100:1 ratio of punishment, an over-correction approach that they take as a deterrent. It probably has not gone un-noticed in Arab and Islamic capitals. The Palestinians are probably too brainwashed to think in reasonable terms about very much, but in comfortable palaces and distant capitals, it is pretty clear that to attack Israel is to invite a very large-scale response, and this probably deters what some call “moderate” Arabs from taking action even by proxy, since Israel is unpredictable enough that the proxy arrangement could easily be ignored (by Israel) in any effort to send a message to actual perpetrators.

On our own political front, these co-ordinated outbursts of tone deaf insanity can serve a useful purpose, in driving away droves of low-information voters who will probably not agree even slightly. Also it should finally wake up liberal Jews and the urban sophisticates in general that the international left is not operating in their right minds, and will ask them to swallow propaganda of the most odious and idiotic variety. At some point, such a process has to reach a point of no return. This could be that point. A diet of insects was previously my best bet, but this is a lot worse and not off in the indeterminate future.
