By The FirstCongressman Adam Schiff and other Democrats proposed a resolution this week that directly accused the State of Israel of intentionally launching sexual attacks against Palestinian women.
From Front Page Magazine:
H.Res.1068, first reported on by JNS, is an absolute disgrace.
Rather than formulate a normal resolution condemning Hamas rapes on Oct 7, the resolution lists it, then sexual assaults in Sudan, Ukraine, Burma, Haiti and multiple other conflicts. Some of these name specific perpetrators, while others do not.
The resolution also states that, “whereas sexual violence against the LGBTQIA+ community during conflict is a component of gender-based violence, linked to the imposition of moral codes and societal norms that directly target the ability of all sexual and gender identities to live freely, according to LGBTQIA+ human rights organizations.”
Having already demonstrated that it’s impossible to condemn Hamas atrocities without also condemning everything else in the world, including the special status of LGBTQIA+, come two paragraphs contending that…
“Whereas decades of conflict with Israel have resulted in high levels of poverty, instability, and deteriorating living conditions in Gaza that have increased the risk of violence for Palestinian women and girls, according to the United Nations Population Fund, and the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas and worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza is compounding the risks women and children already faced;”
“Whereas 59 percent of Palestinian women and girls have reported experiencing at least one form of gender-based violence, according to the United Nations Population Fund, and news outlets have reported that Palestinian women have been harassed at checkpoints and while in custody, according to testimony submitted to the United Nations;”
This is beyond despicable.
