An Inconvenient Truth? Leftist groups who purportedly exist to combat sexism and rape appear to be giving a "pass" to Hamas.
"Several international women’s rights organizations have remained silent as terrorists killed and sexually assaulted numerous Israeli women in an attack over the weekend, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of their social media platforms and websites.
"Hamas, a U.S.-designated Palestinian terrorist group, invaded Israel on the morning of October 7 and began executing and kidnapping Israeli men, women, children and the elderly, with thousands reported dead and injured.
"Multiple outlets have reported that Hamas terrorists have been sexually assaulting women as they tried to escape from a music festival in Israel but international women’s groups have remained silent over the past few days despite the violence.
"Equality Now, a human rights organization that targets violence and abuse of women around the world, has not released a statement regarding the attack but noted the upcoming International Day of the Girl Child on Oct. 11, which celebrates justice for young girls, according to a Monday Twitter post." . . .
Netanyahu's office releases horrifying images of infants murdered by Hamas | The Times of Israel . . ."The Times of Israel is sharing heavily blurred versions of the photos that were released.
"A spokesman for the PMO told The Times of Israel that the rationale behind sharing such images was simple: “So that the world will see just a fraction of the horrors that Hamas carried out.”
"The PMO said the photos released were some of what was shown earlier Thursday to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, adding that they are “difficult-to-see images of babies murdered and burned by the monsters of Hamas. Hamas are not human. Hamas is ISIS.” . . .
Babies Killed, Beheaded in Israel by Hamas at Kfar Aza: Israeli TV (msn.com) "Israeli Major General Itai Veruv spoke to reporters at the scene of the Kibbutz massacre: “It is not a battlefield. You see the babies, the mothers, the fathers, in their bedrooms, in their protection rooms and how the terrorist kills them. It’s not a war, it’s not a battlefield. It’s a massacre, it’s a terror activity.”
"It had earlier been reported that the terrorists massacred entire families including babies at Kfar Aza.
"Mr Blinken said he had seen images of children “riddled with bullets” and young people who had been burned by Hamas attackers.
"He told a press conference: “Images are worth a thousand words - these are worth a million.” He likened the brutality to that of ISIS.
"He said the images he had seen represented “depravity in the most unimaginable way”." . . .
“Hamas has only one agenda: to destroy Israel and to murder. No country can or would tolerate the slaughter of its citizens or simply return to the conditions that allowed it to take place. Israel has the right, indeed, the obligation to defend itself and to ensure that this never happens. So the prime minister and I discussed how Israel does this matters. Our humanity, the value that we place on human life and human dignity. That’s what makes us who we are. And we count them among our greatest strength.”
Hamas brought ISIS flags to massacre Israeli children, women and men.
