In other words: They don't want the women to tell the world that Hamas is a Rape Cult in addition to being a Murder Cult.

Except for one 70 year old and one 39 year old, all of the kidnapped women are 19-30 years old. Coincidentally enough!

"The Squad" member Jayapal, a squalid gross toad and terrorist promoter, says that rape is bad, "BUT..." we have to be understanding of the Root Causes of Hamas's rape squads.

She said "Rape is bad, but..." not once but twice.

Karen Armstrong transcribed the vile terrorist apologetics.

"Morally, I think we cannot say that one war crime deserves another. That is not what international humanitarian law says," Jayapal said.

Dana Bash re-asked and re-focused the question, trying to get her to stop saying "But Israel."

"With respect, I was just asking you about the women and you turned it back to Israel. I'm asking you about Hamas," Bash said.

"I already answered your question, Dana," Jayapal replied in a heated exchange. "I said it's horrific and I think that rape is horrific. Sexual assault is horrific. I think that it happens in war situations, terrorist organizations like Hamas are using these as tools."

"However, I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians," she added while citing the colossal death toll in Gaza.

Bash interjected, acknowledging that the mass casualties are "horrible" and again bringing up the Hamas terrorists' rapes of young Israeli women.

"Well, Dana ... I don't want this to be the hierarchy of oppression," Jayapal said before describing the deaths, destruction, and displacement of Palestinians in Gaza caused by Israeli airstrikes.

Is she kidding? These people are nothing but the hierarchy of oppression! It's the hierarchy of oppression that gives, in their minds, a right to rape and kill to every slightly-brown skinned person in the name of "liberation!"

Has Jayapal in fact condemned Hamas' use of rape as a terror tactic?

In fact, she has not.

Good on @DanaBashCNN to continually press @RepJayapal
on condemning Hamas' horrific sexual violence against Israeli women. Jayapal repeatedly said she spoke out specifically against the sexual violence but has apparently not done so, at least on X. (1/2)

Furthermore on @CNNSOTU, she seemed to do the minimum condemnation possible before shifting topics. (2/2)

That only speaks of Twitter but as Jake Tapper can tell you, Twitter is the place you make the statements you want to say you made, but you don't want to make them in a prominent forum. It's a place for CYA statements.

But Jayapal didn't even make a CYA statement on Twitter. She's lying.

Karen Armstrong points out that Barack Obama's beard remains silent on the rape of Israeli girls:

There has been silence from Michelle Obama, who was outspoken about the treatment of women when she was in the White House. It isn't just women who were raped by Hamas, it was also girls, even very young girls. The message is clear -- all women must be believed, except Israeli women. Believe the antisemites when they tell you who they are.

They Just Want to Breathe (TM):

Even the NYT is now forced to admit -- reluctantly -- that Some People Did Some Rapes.

To those who reply to me with pictures of the damage and destruction in Gaza as if this is supposed to be something that moves me, you should know how much I really, truly in my heart don't care. In fact, this is what the saying "I couldn't care less" was made for.

When I see dead Gazans, I don't see dead Gazans -- I see the dead Israelis who came before them.

When I see suffering Gazans, I don't see suffering Gazans -- I see the suffering Israelis being kept in dark dungeons underground.

You see, Hamas's attack on October 7 was so successful that it blinded all of us to anything related to Gaza, Gazans or the troubles of either one.

We only see blue and white now.

And we are angrier than ever. Our blood is boiling hotter than ever. We care less about Gaza than ever. We care less about world opinion than ever. We want the @IDF
to use more firepower than ever.

But most of all, we want our people back more than ever -- and will do whatever it takes. Literally, anything. Nothing's off the table. Mercy is a foreign concept that has no application here. The opposite -- we want our army to attack with whatever the opposite of mercy is.

We're more insistent than ever that the war will continue into southern Gaza until it reaches all the way to Qatar where the Mossad has formally been instructed to draw up plans for taking out the cowardly Hamas leaders hiding like little rats.

And every day this war continues, our feelings get stronger. Our anger gets stronger. Our thirst for revenge gets stronger. Our willingness to cause massive damage without the slightest care in the world in our quest to free our people has already gotten so strong -- and will continue to get stronger -- that Gaza will long for the wars of past which will seem like a trip to Disney in comparison.

But most of all, we're more insistent than ever that Palestinians will never have a state anywhere near our borders. Those dreams died along with our people on October 7.

There is a time for peace and a time for war. I strongly suggest to all the well-meaning diplomats who keep trying to pressure Israel into peace with the Palestinians to save their energies and focus their efforts elsewhere where they have a chance of success.

Because now is a time for war. All-out war. War without mercy.

And I'm one of the moderates.

(Or at least I was.)
