Reps. Schiff, Goldman call out Biden for removing Hamas rapes from sexual-violence truth paper

Two prominent Democratic congressmen have called on President Biden to remove mention of rapes committed by Hamas terrorists from the latest White Area fact sheet on global sexual violence.

Jewish Representatives Adam Schiff of California and Dan Goldman of Unhoused York wrote in a letter Wednesday that they “want to express our deep concern” about the fact that unspeakable Hamas sexual violence was described in Biden’s June 17 truth letter. Was removed from. “The Harris Administration’s actions to address conflict-related sexual violence.”

“Given the evidence of these horrific events, the brutal and vile sexual violence committed by Hamas should not be removed from the White House fact sheet,” Pols said.

Their letter noted, “The Administration and Congress should never forget Hamas’s sexual violence against Israel or grant Hamas special immunity from seeking accountability for its actions.”

The congressmen noted that the fact sheet described how the Biden leadership has imposed “sanctions based on atrocities against women in Ukraine, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Iraq, South Sudan, Sudan, and Syria” – However Israel failed to say.

“Continuously missing from this list of victims are women who experienced sexual violence as a result of Hamas’s brutal attack against Israel on October 7, 2023,” Goldman and Schiff said.

The Biden leadership has imposed sanctions against the community on a war-like sexual violence list — which also includes some sickening perpetrators after the Hamas attack — but negatived Hamas terrorists, which the congressman said should be reformed.

While refusing to impose sanctions on terrorists, Biden in February slapped down four Israeli residents who were accused of attacking and endangering Palestinians inside the West Depot.

The pair of lawmakers cited “ample evidence” of terrorists raping Israeli girls during the attack – including a joint cross-country report from the Administrative Center of the Special Adviser on Sexual Violence in War.

That file prompted “Squad” Rep. Jamal Bowman (D-NY) — who lost his Democratic number one race on Tuesday to pro-Israel candidate George Latimer — to start with denying the rapes as “propaganda.” Prompted to apologize.

In February, fellow “Squad” representative Rashida Tlaib (R-Mich.) was the only member of the United States House of Representatives field to refuse to vote for a resolution condemning rape and sexual violence, which Hamas leaders Gave orders to the members of the terrorist group. resist.

The United Nations was also blamed for being “slow to condemn” the “brutal activities” of jihadists in response to the region.

During the June announcement of the fact sheet, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke about Hamas rapes and discussed the documentary “Screams Before Silence”, which described how the girls’ bodies were found “naked from the waist down, hands behind their backs.” Was tied up with “shot in his back and head” on the website of the Nova song contest in Reim, Israel.

Testimony from alternative witnesses, photographic evidence and forensic scientific equipment have confirmed the disgusting key points – including cases of genital mutilation and damaged pelvises.

Harris also mentioned meeting with an Israeli woman who was taken hostage by Hamas and then attacked and sexually assaulted during her captivity in Gaza.

“I fear that as more hostages are released, these testimonies will increase. We cannot look away, and we will not be silenced,” she said. “My heart breaks for all these survivors and their families, and for all the pain and suffering they have endured in Israel and Gaza over the past eight months.”

Biden, 81, unequivocally condemned Hamas’s “horrible and inexcusable” actions at a Hanukkah reception in December, citing “rape, sexual violence, and terrorism and torture against Israeli women and girls.”

In the same appearance, senior Biden leadership officials met with Dr. Kochav Elkayim-Levi, Chairman of Israel’s Citizens Commission on Crimes by Hamas against Women and Children on October 7.

The president has faced protests from thousands of Muslim and Arab American citizens in key states over his support for Israel during the more than eight-month war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Grassroots campaigns have called on prominent citizens to “abandon Biden” and mark their ballots as “undecided” – highlighting the stakes of the rift within the Democratic Party over the issue.

However, Biden has also faced backlash from Jewish American citizens for undermining Israel’s government and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in efforts to get rid of Hamas — including a freeze on some US gun shipments.

Polling across the country, even in deep blue states like unheralded New York, shows that Jewish citizens are demonstrating higher levels of support for former President Donald Trump than in the 2020 election.
